In 2012, Malcolm Turnbull snitched $440 million from taxpayers to “save the Great Barrier Reef.”
In 2022, Scott Morrison promised to pour another billion into the Barrier Reef Black Hole.
Then last week Anthony Albanese promised another $220 million “to save the reef from yellow-crazy ants.”
A million here, a billion there and pretty soon you are talking real money.
Clearly, the Great Barrier Reef has a bottomless black hole that demands a regular sacrifice from taxpayers.
Or maybe the Crown of Thorns Starfish is now on a diet of dollars?
Corals have survived for millions of years. They laughed off Ice Ages and warm eras, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and dramatic changes in sea levels.
They will outlast this green invasion with its deluge of dollars.

Hi Viv, It’s a good time to remind all of the stupidity of those tipping money into “saving” the GBR when in fact it’s been there in various forms for millions of years. What are these people thinking? I know – they think we are all idiots and don’t realise how old the reef is and that planet Earth is around 3.5 billions years old already.
The Earth is Not Fragile and there is No Delicate Balance of Nature those are the two biggist lies we get from the Eco-Freaks and Wackos
