I've heard recently some bad/discouraging news about the Aus government and some policies around the Great Barrier Reef not being protected and/or actively harmed.

• Can you describe the scientific community's reaction and efforts underway to help stop?
• What's the situation between the Aus federal gov't and the scientific and academic community at the moment? (i.e. in Canada, it's very poor)
• Is the threat as described in some media?
