actual photo of @sussanley just now successfully urging the world heritage committee *not* to list the #GreatBarrierReef as “in danger”.
😞
(our gov’t made more calls to stop recognition of the reef’s perilous state than it did to secure covid vaccines.) #auspol
the committee did recognise:
• the long-term outlook has deteriorated from ‘poor’ to ‘very poor’
• progress to date has been insufficient
• climate change remains the most serious threat
…and…
…australia is required submit a report next february, to be considered at the 45th meeting of the committee in russia this time next year.
hopefully our _next_ minister for the environment will urge the world to save the reef.
here are the countries that supported @sussanley.
Q. what promises did she make to them?
so, @sussanley has successfully ensured that the inevitable recognition of the #GreatBarrierReef’s condition has been delayed until *after* the federal election.
@ScottMorrisonMP thanks you susssan.
