Miners Wasting the Oceans: Submarine Tailings Disposal,=20
Simon Divecha, Mineral Policy Institute, Sydney
Ocean dumping is one of the methods used by mining companies to dispose of
their tailings. Submarine Tailings Disposal (STD) has been promoted as
safe and reliable alternative to land based disposal. Simon Divecha from
the Mineral Policy Institute, a non-government organisation advocating and
supporting communities across the Asia Pacific region who a re concerned
about impacts from mining, talks about how there is little evidence to
support mining companies claims, in fact that there has been negative
ecological and social impacts which have arisen in areas in PNG and
Indonesia where STD has been implemented.

"Culling Wild-Ness: The Dingoes of Fraser Island"
Linden Schneiders, The Wilderness Society, Brisbane=20
Last week a dingo attack on 2 brothers left a tragic death of one of them,
because of inefficient management of the dingo population on the heavily
visited Fraser Island. Linden Schneiders talks about the Queensland
Government's ad hoc political announcement of a cull of any dingo hanging
around areas occupied by humans on the island. He explains why this cull
shouldn't happen and what sort of ecological ramifications it will have on
dingoes around Australia and on the biodiversity of World Heritage listed
Fraser Island.
In: 16'32" "You know the dingoes on Fraser=85=85."
Out: 25'00" "=85on a place like Fraser"
Dur: 9'31"
