Australian Senator Uses Dead Salmon as Protest Against Environmental Bill

An Australian senator caused a stir in parliament by revealing a dead salmon in a plastic bag while speaking against a controversial bill.

 The unusual protest was aimed at legislation that would limit public scrutiny of environmental decisions, particularly those affecting the salmon farming industry.

During the session, the senator held up the fish as a symbol of environmental damage and corporate influence, emphasizing concerns over the bill's potential to weaken environmental protections.

 The dramatic display led to calls from colleagues to "remove the prop from the chamber."
