Morrison’s green light for Queensland’s Hells Gates Dam threatens Great Barrier Reef, experts warn | Queensland | The Guardian

There are concerns the health of the Burdekin River catchment in north Queensland could be compromised by proposed dams such as Hells Gates. The Coalition has given $5.4bn to the dam, which would be four times size of Sydney Harbour.

Totally designed Electioneering Scam. This has been announced in total desperation fuck the responsibility for any long term consequences. LNP planning and management style.

Earlier feasibility studies have prompted serious questions about the project’s stated economic benefit. Hells Gates also has no environmental impact statement, and no environmental approvals – a process that could take several years on such a large and complex project. Advertisement Some locals leaders, including the Burdekin mayor, Lyn McLaughlin, have expressed concern that dam proposals in the Burdekin River catchment – including the Urannah Dam that also has federal support – have been pushed without studies about their long-term impact on the river system. Jami Webster, a water quality expert from the Australian Marine Conservation Society, said the announcement was “electioneering”.

WTF? Federal Funding For Coronavirus Testing Being Pulled

Trump announced a website under development by “1700 engineers at Google” which would would quiz Americans on their symptoms and pair them with the appropriate test facility.

The website didn’t exist. And by April 1 the grand total of drive-through testing facilities on the parking lots of these companies came in at five. And those five offered testing only to first responders and healthcare workers, not the general public. But it doesn’t matter now, because Trump is pulling the funding for those sites—and for every other drive-through testing site.
