Record anti-salmon rally calls for action

Anti-salmon farming protesters have gathered in record numbers as the Greens vow to put the issue at the forefront in any post-election minority parliament. The industry has been under increased spotlight in Tasmania amid mass fish deaths and federal law changes to thwart conservationists’ challenge to aquaculture approvals. More than 6000 people rallied in Hobart on Sunday, heeding a cry to vote against the salmon industry-supporting Labor and Liberal parties. The protest was several times bigger than community action in mid-March at a remote beach in the state’s south.

Coast on flood watch amid ‘magnet’ weather system

Wet weather will continue to impact coastal and inland communities on Australia’s east coast as a low-pressure system pulls in rain and wind. Severe thunderstorms, flooding and heavy rainfall impacting inland northern NSW areas are expected to move towards the coast on Sunday, the Bureau of Meteorology said. The wet weather is being fuelled by a low-pressure system working as a “magnet” along the east coast. ”This system will act as a magnet - it will act as a sink for moisture and strong winds pulling in from out over the ocean and being directed against the NSW coast,“ senior meteorologist Miriam Bradbury said.

Rural voters set to shape election

Voters in key regional electorates appear set to turn their backs on the major parties, with roads, health, the energy transition and cost-of-living pressures forging a new path in bush politics. Independent candidates are shaping up to claim the battleground seats of Wannon, in regional Victoria, and Calare, in country NSW, according to YouGov polling commissioned by AAP. The coalition has been actively targeting these electorates, with the Nationals using Bathurst’s iconic Mount Panorama race track to announce their policy centrepiece, a $20 billion regional future fund.

Hospital expansion plan ‘flawed’

A damning review has found every project in Queensland’s hospital expansion plan is “undeliverable”, with costs set to blow out by almost $10 billion. All 15 projects face delays of up to three years after a “deeply flawed” procurement process by Queensland’s former Labor government, the review states. Originally slated to cost $9.8 billion, the projects are expected to balloon out to more than $17 billion after expansion and new builds were announced without business cases.
