Prince William is mourning the loss of his grandfather, Prince Philip, following his passing on Friday (April 9). The Duke of Cambridge took to Instagram to share his first public comment on the death of the Duke of Edinburgh. Alongside an emotional note, William shared a sweet photo of his oldest son,
Prince George, sitting with his great-grandfather. My grandfather’s century of life was defined by service – to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family, William wrote. I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life – both through good times and the hardest days.
State terminates AGL’s gas import plan
IMPROMPTU it may have been, but there was no suppressing the joy felt by members of the anti-AGL forces after they heard about the government’s refusal of a gas import terminal at Crib Point.
THE state government has knocked back power company AGL’s plans for a gas import terminal at Crib Point.
Planning Minister Richard Wynne said the project, which also included a 55 kilometre gas pipeline to Pakenham, was refused because of the “unacceptable effects” it would have on Western Port’s environment.
In a statement on Tuesday 30 March Mr Wynne said his decision was based on a review of AGL’s environmental effects statement, which attracted more than 6000 submissions and encouraged protests either organised by or attended by community group Save Westernport, Environment Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire and the state opposition.
