Oil spill in St Vincent's Gulf in South Australia
Today on Earth Matters we discuss the recent oil spill in Adelaide's St
Vincent's Gulf in South Australia which occurred on Monday Juine 28th.
Margi Prideaux, National Marine campaigner with the Australian Conservation
Foundation, joins us to describe the details of the spill and her concerns
about the not only the incident but the ongoing danger the petroleum
industry poses to the ecology.
Margi also expresses concern about the clean up process and what effect
that can have on the marine wildlife. Broader issues surrounding the
presence of the petroleum industry in the Great Australian Bight are also
raised, with a marine park for that region currently under negotiation.

Forestry Tasmania sells 50% of its softwood plantations
Just recently Forestry Tasmania sold half of its northern softwood
plantations to an United States based company called GMO Renewable
Resources. The part privatisation of these public assets has riased many
concerns about the ever-expanding pine plantations and just who takes
responsibility for ecosystems and waterchatchments when a private overseas
based company owns the resource.
Today we speak with Greens parliamentarian Peg Putt in Tasmania, who
recently voiced many of these concerns.
