"Activist scientists and lobby groups have distorted surveys, maps and data to misrepresent the extent and impact of coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef, according to the chairman of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, Russell Reichelt."

Of course the chairman of the Great Barrier Reef Authority would say that because he has been left behind by the protests of others at the threat to the GBR. If he has not been doing anything except collecting his pay cheque he has an interest in clouding and diverting the protests.

Opinion posted in your article:

This opinion from Russell Reichelt, the same chairman of the Great Barrier Reef Authority, who approved the proposal for dredge spoil from the Abbott Point coal port expansion to be dumped on the reef?

You obviously missed this bit

A full survey of the reef released yesterday by the authority and the Australian Institute of Marine Science said 75 per cent of the reef would escape unscathed.

So I suppose AIMS is in on it too, damn these non-activist scientists!

Were they paid for that report by the government?

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Anything against the meme is government funded. Anything that supports the meme is pure research. With no funding from Big Green. Got it.

I know some of the scientists involved, both at AIMS and GBRMPA, trust me they are rather green, but they are also real scientists, as opposed to alarmists

No idea, we don't tend to discuss politics, perhaps remaining independent of activism and alarmism results in better science, who'd have thunk it?
