FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Queensland’s Environmental Defender’s Office is the latest victim of the Newman government’s razor gang, losing funds to help communities fight miners and developers.

Ms Bragg says she will now have to seek donations.
“Within six to 12 months we will seriously have to curtail our operations,” she told ABC Radio on Thursday.
Fifty people are on the EDO waiting list.
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie has been approached for comment.
