Well, it looks like the right may have had a win over GBRMPA. After months of threats pre-election to close them down for bad decisions RE: the rezoning (which, admitted was pretty poor) comes a rumour that GBRMPA is about to be shutdown (or scaled down at least).
The following item on the ABC site was most concerning for the lack of support from Ian McDonald arguing that a "presence" would be maintained in Townsville and other coastal areas.
Presence - sounds like they're going to put shop fronts in and move the lot back to Canberra (where they can reign in all those rampant marxist scientists). But be warned, these sort of rumours have circulated before and some think that a report (as yet to be released) RE: the rezoning process is going to be scathing and will result in a massive overhaul.
Edit (8/5/07): Well, it's nearly been 12 months and GBRMPA is still going strong. Looks like I called this one incorrectly!
