Environment minister, the latest Spectator cover page 'Chalumbin, the new Franklin' details Queensland's in principle approval of 86 wind turbines, each 308 feet high. Minister, won't it destroy 3,000 acres of periphery jungle, kill birdlife, cost taxpayers a fortune and generate minuscule electricity, and its working life is only 19 years? Whilst applauding your break on Chalumbin, wouldn't you agree with environment professor Nevard that Chalumbin transforms 200 kilometres of nature wonderland into an industrial wasteland?
