Circus in Parliament. « Credentials in exchange for a rotten and stubborn salmon »?

The Labor Party of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has supported a draft law to protect the jobs within the salmon industry, but the environmental defense organizations and the Green Party are concerned about chemical pollution.

To protest the project that would protect salmon farms from a bay included in heritage and located in the state of Tasmania, an Australian senator brought with her on Wednesday a large, dead salmon, DPA informs.

The draft law began to be debated in the Senate, where it is expected to pass, in the last days of the government led by Prime Minister Albanese before the general elections that will take place in May.

Criticizing the draft law during the parliamentary discussions, on Wednesday, Sarah Hanson-Youn took a dead, whole salmon from a plastic bag, while asking the labist senator Jenny McClister, the representative of the Ministry of Environment: « On the eve of the elections, did you sell the environmental accreditations in exchange for a rotten salmon? »

The President of the Senate, Sue Lines, asked Hanson-Youn to set aside « props », and McClister replied: « In my opinion, the Australians deserve something better from their public representative than circus. »

The proposed laws will guarantee the presence of salmon farms throughout the Macquarie Harbour fjord on the western coast of Tasmania and will introduce the population restrictions to challenge the approvals.
