Nine weeks on and the oil still pours into the Timor Sea. The company is about to make their fifth attempt to stem the flow.
The environmental damage must be enormous, but as the old adage goes, "out of sight out of mind". Even though the, "Green" groups are still giving voice the current outcry is nothing compared to what it would be if the black, gooey stuff was contaminating our shores.
I wonder how many marine species have been affected, how many animals have died as a result of greed and the continuing rape of our planet.
The company responsible for this particular disaster were recently granted further leases to explore and exploit resources off our coast.
