And the signs at aiports saying joking about bombs is illegal ? I can ignore them and crack on with my comedy bomb routine ?

This entire debacle is a farce. How the fuck is the Government and Supreme Court involved in this bullshit , how is this even News.

Good on Rising Tide, another protest at Parliment House

This is not new though, Orwell pointed out in 1939 that demcroacies inevitability turn Fascist when times get harder.

Climate change will see that get even worse still.

You'll be able to walk to Russia on the plastic bridge from Alaska, good times ahead!

Can't see how ? Many see immigration as a business thing, seeing people as a utility, let in well educated people who can nation build or some such justification to exploit others.

Many see it as protecting their "way of life", see the same thing around housing with NIMBYism, "I'm here fuck anyone else", bizzarely, recent immigrants seem the worst in that respect

Many are just outright (or covert) racist.

Some weirdos like me are complelty open border.

There's little in common with any of them aside from dislike for the other groups, aside from then all loathing my stance which seems the uniting factor :)

There are no nations, there's only Humanity, but if we don't understand this soon there will be no nations, because there will be no Humanity" - Isaac Asimov.

Def getting one. Si far give kept uo to date with boosters. A vairiety of Moderna ans Pfizer swirling around in me.

Well yeah but i find it "interesting" that our poltical reaponse to defence seems to be big bad toys, 1/2 of which never seem to work or we have zero ability to service in a time if war, then we can't trasport them on our roads as they're too heavy (Abrams Tanks) becase we have no rail.infrstruxture. Ukraine woukd be finished without their rail.

For the reasons you point out, there are only two nations in the world that could prosecute a war on the other side of the planet, China and the US. We have defences against neither and cant not offer ofrence against either, so at the end if the day I'm not sure why we even bother? Personally I'd be more worried about a US invasion,which they defaxto done but at least with China we'd end up with a decent railway system and better food.

Particularly after watching thr war in Ukraine unfold, everything we do in Aus. in terms if defence seeens laughable. One manufacturing facility for artillery for example. Finland seems to actually take it seriously, sure they've had war at their door in the past but so have we..

Fucks sake, the only thing saving the GBR is a maasive reduction in GHG emissons and quickly

This is some Utopia level shit.

I know it's politically impossible unless voters pivot Green but it's all very depressing reading.

Any points raised there about no more governemnt funding for roads and airports? PT and AT projects only, no talks on restrictng flying using rationing and 10% reductions per annum? no talks on banning; private jets, cruise ships, Off road motorbikes, Banning Pleasure craft ? Gold Coast Cruise ship terminal likely to be built as another slap in the face. Gold Coast is the most vulnerable city in Aus from SLR, fuck it, just ignore it all I guess?

What a terrible thing to read, all about business and how to keep destroying the world as though the laws of nature don't apply in Australia. All some desperate attempt to kick the can down the road.

Down the road from where I live now, a government funded expansion of foresty product loader at Bell Bay, more trucks on the roads more forests logged, more destruction wrought. This is the future, until there is none.
