Earlier we reported Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek had written to the Tasmanian government to flag she may reconsider the future of decade-old salmon farms in Macquarie Harbour due to concern about their impact on a critically endangered species.

In response the Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff Tweeted he would “not stand by and allow bureaucrats in Canberra to kill off our Salmon Industry”

Our Government backs our salmon industry 100%.

We back the businesses that it supports.

Green’s Senator Peter Whish-Wilson, who has been campaigning on this for years, has also weighed in:

The toxic industrial salmon farming industry is on a warpath and is determined to let nothing – not even the extinction of a wild and endangered marine species – get in the way of its corporate profiteering. And the Tasmanian Government shamefully backs it! https://t.co/JC8uQ5Vh60
