Destruction of Bells Rapids ...


I don't often get political, but word came through overnight that Peet & Co. have been given final approval to send the bulldozers into Bells Rapids and that work will start this spring. The last remaining native forest on the banks of the Swan River around Perth is to be trashed for Political / Corporate greed. Peter Garrett has approved the decimation of habitat for the endangered Black Cockatoo, the EPA didn't even consider the area worthy of their consideration and once again, Developers and politicians have done their usual back-door deals to line each other's pockets. Nice, very nice indeed.
