An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.
Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.
Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

He also says his group, which uses a whale tail as its branding, has stepped back from the claim that windfarms could cause mass whale deaths.
The risk to whales has formed a core part of local campaigns against the windfarm zone, with some posters and placards showing a lifeless whale on the beach. Members of the Port Stephens fishing industry paid for a billboard for three months on a roadside showing a beached whale with turbines in the background.
