Fishers and Walkers Tasmania committee are devastated to learn of the passing of the brilliant cartoonist and artist, Jon Kudelka.

Jon generously donated his artwork to our campaign.

Our deepest condolences go out to Jon’s family, friends and fans. A truly great Tasmanian.

As an organisation we added our name to this open letter.

The last eleven years of the Liberal government has delivered terrible outcomes for our marine environment and the reserve estate. Their arrogance and blind ignorance to our concerns must end #politas

Can anyone name the fly?

Hear ye, hear ye!!
If anyone is owed money by Wild Drake Pty Ltd, Daniel Hackett or Riverfly 1864 here’s your chance to get it back. Don’t be shy, the liquidator of Wild Drake wants to hear from you.

The @TasLiberal vision for the Tasmanian wilderness. Lock us out or make us pay #politas

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

Reckon your landlord would happily renew your lease if you didn’t pay the rent for a couple years?

Alright for some … #politas

@MarkWillia35 @TasmanianGreens @NickDuigan @TasLiberal The government stooge in charge was banking on a quick buck by exploiting wilderness on the promise of his dodgy mates. Right-minded Tasmanians won’t have a bar of it, and never will. Some folk with $ signs for eyes don’t understand that 💤

Latest from the @TasmanianGreens - @NickDuigan has renewed the Halls Island lease to a company under liquidation creating more murkiness #politas

@gasugasu1984 Old mate is finding ways to fail like nobody has failed before! And he’s not done yet.

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

Unsurprisingly, Mr Hackett has failed to submit the relevant information to the federal department for the EPBC assessment.

Unlike @TasmaniaParks the feds look like they take world heritage assessments seriously. #politas

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

Examiner today: Interesting Mr Hackett somehow sees himself as a responsible operator.

A liquidator is appointed because the subject of liquidation has proven themselves an irresponsible actor.

It smacks of desperation.

Halls Island for all, not Hackett's island! #politas

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

Here is an exclusive copy of the economic, environmental, social and cultural heritage assessment that was done before the #politas government leased 10 hectares of World Heritage land under "Exclusive Possession". 🫣#malbenamatters

Statement from @TassieWild and the Tasmanian National Parks Association on the Malbena farce #politas

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

Correction. If it can be described as that.
Apparently Duigan has extended the lease to Wild Drake P/L - a company under liquidation.
One wonders how a company under liquidation can pay its fees and insurance.
So many questions, so little clarity #politas

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

See this bloke.
He just transferred the Halls Island lease from a company sent into liquidation to the Director of that failed company.
He did this despite all warnings and every opportunity to end the Malbena farce.
@NickDuigan is a patsy. Remember at the next election.

3 days before the windup proceedings Hackett transferred the only asset of Wild Drake to himself.
He cut loose investors & creditors.
We’re yet to establish if this is legal but it says a lot.
A good character to hold a lease a over World Heritage island @NickDuigan ? #politas

[Tabatha Badger @TabathaBadger]

Did the Minister renew the exclusive Halls Island lease on October 1st to the proponent as an individual now their company is in liquidation? Beyond time for stopping the secrecy & privatisation of our wild places.

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

@peterhickstas @NickDuigan We’ll be sure to let the Feds know the status of their new proponent and find out what the status of the Halls Island lease is asap.

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

Seems Hackett has run away from the debts he owed as Wild Drake Director and switched the EPBC referral to himself.
Did the Feds know that Wild Drake was insolvent?
Did @NickDuigan knowingly transfer the lease over Halls Island to the director of an insolvent company? #politas
