The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has apparently given the go ahead.

I cant believe it, really?

No it didn't give any such go ahead.

This has not been reported in the Australian Media.

It was picked up by some international media because disgraced former Australian Senator Larissa waters was trying to create maximum trouble to the big mining companies in the area. They want to shut mining down. Plus there is a proposal for the world's largest coal mine in Queensland with Adani Mining. The Greens are trying to stop it but it has been approved. So they tried to cause havoc by saying that the sludge from the dredging was being dumped on the Great Barrier Reef and the only outlets that picked it up was surprise surprise - Guardian, and BBC.

And believe me. If there was a dump within the Marine Park, the Australian Media would have jumped on the bandwagon. They didn't because they know it was fake or false.

No one has ever used the Great Barrier Reef as a dumping ground except for a Cypriot Flagged ship which resulted on an embargo against the entire Cypriot registered Fleet some years ago.

You are a victim of fake news. The Great Barrier Reef is an Australian Marine and National Park. Nothing can go on in there other than eco-tourism.

You had to dig deep for that one.

Once again, that's not mainstream. SBS is very left wing and when I mean MSM, I mean newspapers like The Australian which is the number one broadsheet.

Also, the Age and Sydney Morning Herald didn't pick it up. These are liberal papers like Washington Post and New York Times. The Age and SMH would be on top of it but also the entire media would because thgat would be massive news in Australia as it is ILLEGAL to do. It is illegal to do this within National Parks.

Image

The reason why it wasn't picked up is because the claims made by disgraced Australian Senator who had to quit because she fail;ed to disclose her dual Nationality with the UK, made bogus claims as we continuously get from The Australian Greens. She attempted to create maximum outrage but it was FAKE NEWS.

There is ZERO chance that the Australian Government would allow any dumping of anything in the Great Barrier Reef which is protected as a Marine Park/National Park.

Cypriot Registered Ships however were caught in the act of dumping waste water within the Marine Reserve and the paid massive fines for it. Horkates!

And another thing. Australian National Parks and Marine Parks is petty serious stuff. Anyone who flouts these laws will end up with serious time behind bars.

https://parksaustralia.gov.au/marine/management/

The Cypriot Ship that was caught dumping waste water was met by the Federal Police and the Captain of the Ship was issued with a Federal Court Summons as soon as the ship docked. Surveillance Australia footage was provided to the Captain and the Cyprus Consulate was summonsed by The Department of Foreign Affairs to issue the Cyprus Government with Australia's Intention to embargo The Republic of Cyprus Maritime Fleet from Australian Waters. That is what happened, until the fines of several million were paid.

You are not even allowed to fish in the Marine Park without a special license. Surveillance Australia patrol the reef daily with Surveillance Planes and Drones. Every ship is approached by a Customs plane, boat, or drone as they enter Australia's Approached and this starts in International Waters as the authorities intercept 200 miles out.

Een Scuba Diving can only be done by approved operators and only in special zones. You can't dive where you want.

What fo you think this is? Cyprus? It's not Cyprus mate, it's Australia! :D

Maybe in Cyprus you do things like this and blow up your own power stations from total stupidity, but in Australia we have rules and regulations and they are enforced mate. :lol:

Just come down-under to witness all the awesomeness mate! 8)
