Unveiling the Underwater Crisis at Macquarie Harbour
Discover how Macquarie Harbour, a vital aquatic ecosystem, mirrors an industrial wasteland underwater. Our latest findings reveal a shocking die-off of 1,149 tonnes of Tasmanian farmed salmon, a symptom of a much larger crisis.
What's Happening? Like a battery chicken shed but underwater, salmon pens at Macquarie Harbour are accumulating approximately 5,000 tonnes of waste annually with little tidal flow to cleanse the seabed. The result? Oxygen-depleted dead zones where marine life can barely survive.
Root Cause Analysis Current mitigation efforts, including air diffusers and nano-bubble technology, barely scratch the surface of the underlying issue—the unsustainable waste accumulation turning the harbour into an aquatic sewer.
Is Government Funding Skewing Supermarket Price Comparisons?
Is your grocery bill reflective of true market prices, or is it being skewed by government-funded surveys? Discover how Aldi’s domination of private labels may be distorting supermarket price comparisons, giving it an unfair advantage in poorly constructed surveys over Coles, Woolworths, and IGA.

This practice distorts true pricing, disadvantaging other major chains. It's time for transparency in how supermarket prices are compared!
