If you offered them $1m to stop it, it would have been stopped day 1. Aust Govt should enforce tougher penalty and make this right, before the whole marine environment, in all of it's diversity, Whales, Dolphins, Turtles, Shark, endangered marine life, is completely destroyed in such a disgusting manner. If it spilled in Mr Rudds pond, it would have been high priority. Mr Garrett needs to do something yesterday, I'm not impressed by such a lack of inaction. I think this government has failed the wildlife miserably. Shame on you. Barb I think this is an absolute disgrace. If you offered them $1m to stop it, it would have been stopped day 1.
