Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Tue, 28/02/2012 - 3:29pm

by Gerry Georgatos Conservationists have been campaigning to save what they say is WA's largest numbat colony in Warrup. The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) had been denying such a colony existed.

The conservationists have called for a halt to logging in Warrup after finding what they say is irrefutable evidence of endangered numbats living near the logging in Warrup.

Disingenuous Gillard, Swan and Shorten can communicate denigration and mud but not policies!

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Sat, 25/02/2012 - 11:36pm

It is disingenous for Julia Gillard, Wayne Swan, Stephen Conroy, Bill Shorten and others to be smashing the reputation of Kevin Rudd and to dishevel the legacy of his time in the Office of the Prime Minister.
