As federal environment minister, Lord Frydenberg had reportedly decided to hand Queensland's Moreton Bay wetlands, the ancestral homeland of sundry shorebirds and waterfowl, to the Walker Corporation.
Citing Mammon's ancient promise to the Capitalist people, the Corporation, it seems, had convinced him that, without Capital, the birds would never in a million years have built anything as vibrant as 3,600 apartments, a hotel, a convention centre or a marina, and that the development would "form a rampart of Capital against the natural world, an outpost of civilization as opposed to the barbarism of nature."
The Corporation, moreover, had apparently secured from him a declaration that his government "view with favour the establishment in the Moreton Bay wetland of a national home for the Capitalist people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Capitalist communities in the wetland."

You fail to mention that Walker Corporation have documenatary evidence, in the form of a very old book, that they were given Moreton Bay about 5000 years ago, by a guy called Adam Smith. Typical ABC bias!
By wildlife do you mean the feathered or furred variety? There could be some confusion......the local 'indigenous fauna' also suffered under the colonialist/capitalist yoke! If only they had thought of doing in Israel, what was done/is being done here in Oz. Life would have been a lot simpler.......ah, never mind.
