Great barrier Reef ok for destruction by Australian government

RE: Great barrier Reef ok for destruction by Australian government
Lets look around see if anybody else in the news, non guardian sources, give us a better idea of what's going on.

"It is important to note that each of these sites is already heavily industrialised and that the processes were highly advanced at the change of government," Mr Hunt said. (mr hunt is our new environment minister

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-10/no...ns/5147916
"For Abbot Point, perhaps the most important condition is that any dredging would be limited to 1.3 million cubic metres of sediment a year. That is down from a 38 million cubic metre proposal under the previous government, so a radical decrease in what was going to be the case." (The abc is our BBC)

So that's the other side of the story. I'm just wondering why this is a news story now (now that we've just gotten a conservative government) rather than during those previous, larger proposals, seems fishy to me.
Nemo me impune lacessit.
