When Lionel is making so much of getting names right he should know the greyling is in fact the grayling (lower case g). Looking more like a mullet It should not be confused with the European grayling, which has a large sail-like dorsal fin.

We have similar issues in Botany Bay the Federal Government needs to get a National Freight Policy together and build the inland rail from Gladstone through Parkes to Melbourne. We can’t continue to concentrate freight activities in our biggest cities.

Let’s cut to the chase: PG is a Sm-rt A-se Pr-ck banging on about plastic bags and ice runways at Wilkins. A ministerial, highly respected S.A.P. The greenhouse gases (GHG) embeded in the super container ships/cargo = sleep walk to faster climate change.

A greyling would kno it’s Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC) and I’m from Sydney. Also Environment Protection Biodiversity Conservation (Act) (EPBC for short) which actually is a federal statute. But yes jargon is a worry.

Lionel Elmore deserves a gong for confusing story of the year. He needs to be reminded that the Crikey readership is national. Most of us who are fortunate enough to live outside Victoria do not know what PoMC means, nor the EPBC Act. What are we missing?
