Great Barrier Reef Threat

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The fragile ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef off Australia is under threat from millions of tons of spoil from the development of one of the world's largest coal ports. Former head of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, John Tanzer, tells us why he's disappointed the park has just given its approval for the port plans. As the deadline for footballers in the UK to move clubs passes, lawyer Adam Morrallee tells us if the transfers such as that of Juan Mata for more than $60 million mean UEFA's financial fair play rules are finished. Plus we'll be talking about the day's other stories with Colin Peacock from Radio New Zealand.
