This was an excellent Argument with all speakers making compelling cases. As well as the panel, Janelle McGufficke, Manager of Environmental Programs at Ricegrowers’ Association of Australia and Deborah Kerr from the National Farmer’s Federation, gave short presentations, making a strong case for irrigated rice production in Australia. The event was recorded and is available as podcast, if you were not able to be there.

PNG gossip column, The Drum, reports today:
TALK on “Deforestation and Forest Degradation in PNG’’ coming up in Moresby Friday next week, with Canberra-based expert Colin Filer leading the debate. He’s clashed with avid environmentalists recently, should be an interesting session (Post-Courier 30 July 2008).
Has CF “clashed with avid environmentalists” recently? The most controversial thing I’ve seem him do in the last seven days was to blow for an own goal when reffing girls U14 soccer last Saturday.
On another front, I’ve made the enigmatic discovery that a certain tome called “Filer’s Files” is to be had for US$13.95 from the National UFO Centre. I was certain he didn’t have the free time.
