A LAWYER defending federal environment minister Ian Campbell, in a court case where he is accused of playing politics in vetoing the $220m Bald Hills wind farm in Gippsland to protect endangered orange bellied parrots, admitted his client ignored his department's advice.
That advice showed that if 23 wind farms went ahead in Victoria, SA and Tasmania, one parrot would be killed every 20 years. Between 99 and 200 of the parrots are left.
But none have been recorded going anywhere near the wind farm site.
