Wind farms and parrots

Bald Hills Wind Farm Pty Ltd v Minister For the Environment And Heritage VID447/2006

I've written before about the federal Environment Minister's decision to refuse approval for the Bald Hills windfarm because of impacts on the threatened orange-bellied parrot.

The windfarm has taken action in the Federal Court to challenge the decision and for those interested, today's Age has a report on yesterday's interlocutory hearing, where the company failed in its bid to call the Minister himself to give evidence. It's an interesting read.
