Collaboration with farmers key in conserving native ecosystems in agricultural landscapes "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

Australia has one of the worlds highest rates of deforestation.

Less than 5% of native vegetation remains on roadsides and private properties in South Australias York Peninsula, according to a new study.

In a bid to boost conservation in agricultural landscapes, researchers are calling for drastic changes to land management strategies to retain native ecosystems and prevent biodiversity loss. The study, between university of South Australia and Kangaroo Island Research Station frames a lens on empowering collaboration between farmers and regional communities by identifying barriers that obstruct preservation.

Traditional Owners rejoice as court overturns plan for Kimba nuclear waste dump "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

We won it for our grandparents, an echo of Bungarla Elder, Dawn Taylors sentiment, following the outcome of a six-year fight for Kimba in SAs Eyre Peninsula.

In a triumphant moment, what has often been described as a David and Goliath case reached a victorious peak with the Federal Court in Adelaide ruling in favour of Barngarla people, overturning the federal governments decision to build a nuclear waste dump near Kimba.

As reported by the Guardian, justice Natalie Charlesworth said the court would uphold an application by the Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation due to apprehended bias and pre-judgement by former Coalition resources minister Keith Pitt.

So, what does this victory mean for Barngarla people?

Stunning documentary on the Swedish King "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

In an unprecedented coup of access to any Monarch, Karin af Klintberg assembled a documentary on King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.  He was the youngest monarch to ascend a throne at age 27 over 50 years ago.

Director and creator Karin af Klintberg had sent thousands of emails to finally spend many hours with the King in interviews over an extensive 2 year period.  Gustaf did not like much of the constant photography and public engagements that a King had to endure, and was regarded as somewhat reclusive, so the achievement of this film is unlikely to be surpassed.

The King [Kungen] is part of the Scandinavian Film Festival starting today.

Lobbying in Australia "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

Lobbying groups are part of the democratic prosses in this country, yet the rules surrounding how they operate are vague at best. Lobby groups will have a more public presence this year leading up to the voice referendum, with multiple organisations on both sides ramping up their campaigns.

Lobbying is usually done behind closed doors, so this more public showing of lobbying is a good time to see how much sway Lobbyists have in parliament and what happens when they overstep their boundaries.

Commonwealth Games shafted "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

After 15 months of hype, projected glory and excitement for athletes around the world, Premier Andrews flanked by Deputy Jacinta Allan and the Minister for Regional Development Harriet Shing  announced that due to cost blow outs Victoria was pulling the plug on the Commonwealth Games.

They had got the sums wrong by over 300% and Andrews said that Victoria could no longer see any benefit in going on with it.  Many sought to sheet the blame home to the Monarchy, somehow equating the death of Queen Elizabeth with a loss of any need for athletic endeavour in the anglophone world.  Apparently the AFL Grand Final will go ahead in Victoria though.

Country centres throughout Victoria were in shock as the first regional Games would have benefitted many regional cities like Ballarat, Shepparton and Geelong.  But a lot of infrastructure was still going ahead according to Ballarat Mayor Des Hudson OAM

This aggressive political move will hurt the rest of the world. Still, most importantly, Ukrainian grain is sent to some of the most food-insecure countries, including Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti.

It is a cruel move from the Russians that may turn neutral parties into Ukrainian allies.

Dolphins teaching each other to beg a concern "IndyWatch Feed Capricornia"

University of Queensland researchers have discovered dolphins in the Moreton Bay Area, teaching fellow dolphins to beg for food from recreational fishers.

This sophisticated behaviour was first noticed in a study into the social structures of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins. 

Since fishing is popular in the region, dolphins have now begun to take advantage of the feeds. But researchers warn this adaptive strategy may pose long term risks, and spread throughout wider dolphin populations.

Researchers also state better policing and awareness of illegal dolphin feeding is essential in avoiding harmful effects on these marine mammals.
