Description

Warmer waters, disease and antibiotics have pushed Tasmania’s salmon farms into crisis.

But it’s not just an environmental disaster – it’s also a political one.

With an election looming, the Albanese government is pouring millions into salmon farming in an attempt to save jobs and votes, even as rotting fish litter the shore. 

Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe, on what is happening in Tasmanian waters – and how it will impact the upcoming election.
