Scorecard grade results: overview

Wollemi pine 

23 (77%) 

Every action has a lead agency, a priority and an annual cost. 

Priorities reflect urgency, not value for money; the population target is only “maintained or increased”. 

Forty-spotted pardalote 

21 (70%) 

Every action is costed, and the plan weighs conflicts with swift parrot recovery. 

Three in four actions are top priority; no quantified target. 

Southern right whale 

19 (63%) 

A quantified recovery target, and mapped calving areas whose loss cannot be offset. 

The target covers only the western population; most actions are not costed and none has a lead agency. 

Golden sun moth 

19 (63%) 

Separates core populations from connecting patches, and offers a menu of ways to meet objectives. 

No costs; key terms such as “medium or large” sites are left undefined. 

Pookila (New Holland mouse) 

19 (63%) 

Status, trend and genetic diversity are set out for every known population. 

Actions carry no priorities, timeframes or costs. 

Swift parrot 

19 (63%) 

Every action is costed, and the island breeding strongholds are identified. 

The objective is only a positive population trend. 

Malleefowl 

19 (63%) 

Long-term national monitoring and a controlled management experiment. 

Critical habitat is not delineated, and actions are not costed. Capped at C under scoring system. 

Australian lungfish 

18 (60%) 

Names spawning sites and where recruitment fails, with a strong First Nations voice. 

No costs; four of five threats share the highest rating. 

Greater gliders 

18 (60%) 

Precise habitat retention thresholds that can be applied on the ground. 

No threat ratings or costs; effects on forestry not assessed. 

Sandhill dunnart 

17 (57%) 

Clear habitat definitions, and decline mapped against a warming climate. 

No population target; actions are not costed. 

Ghost bat 

16 (53%) 

Region-by-region status, including roosts about to be lost. 

No population target, threat ratings or costs.
