  • Summary

  • If you’ve bought salmon at the supermarket, there’s a strong chance it came from Tasmania. The island state is home to a billion-dollar salmon farming industry and much of it is located at Macquarie Harbour. That harbour is where Booker Prize-winning author Richard Flanagan grew up. But it’s also home to a 60-million-year-old creature whose fate appears to be the first Australian species to be wiped off the face of the earth during this federal government. Today, writer and contributor to The Monthly Richard Flanagan on how corporate greed, political inaction and our demand for supermarket salmon are all choking the Maugean Skate.
