Senators were left guffawing during a fiery debate on Tuesday when a rotting fish was used as a 'prop'.
A Greens senator halted Australian Parliament proceedings by brandishing a rotting, decapitated salmon to protest a bill protecting the salmon industry in Tasmania's Macquarie Harbour. The senator accused the government of prioritizing the "toxic" salmon industry over environmental concerns. The bill aims to reduce public challenges to salmon farm approvals. The Prime Minister defends the legislation, citing job security for Tasmanian salmon workers, but polls suggest public opposition to salmon farming in the region.
