So why are you using it?

I am sorry you and so many others will be impacted.

🤣

Kudos to you, students 🩷

This whole situation is just ludicrous. We should all be wearing t-shirts with euphemisms like “From the puddle to the pond”, “From the sink to the bathtub”, “From the creek to the brine”, “From the jug to the lake” (can you think of others?). See if they arrest us all.

Yeh, next to working class suburbs and the Blue Mts National Park. There were other choices (from memory). Kingsford Smith Airport (Sydney Internaitional airport) flightpaths don’t operate 24/7. The curfew is from 11pm to 6am.

Can you imagine what it would be like to have the noise of planes every hour of every day? No curfew. Noise insulation grants will be available for some residents but nevertheless, it will result in health problems in vulnerable populations and will spoil the tranquil beauty of the BM Nat Park

Many people living in the densely-populated areas around the airport and in the Blue Mountains would not be having a fun-run. They are going to be subjected to overhead noise 24/7. That is nothing fun or worth celebrating.

Had a similar action happened at a Jewish event, the assailant would have been immediately arrested. Our authorities give lip-service to community cohesion but on the ground some communities ‘are more equal than others’. We also need to call out how AI is being used to stir up social conflict wherever we see it.

You’re right. Thank you for that perspective.

Perhaps a lawful decapitation would be one like the bombing of Hitler’s bunker, where the head of the state is leading annexation and occupation with no reason other than the desire to expand, and approving war crimes. Some further comment:

War, in my view, is an abysmal evil.

Thank you for the link.

Thank you for posting. Important citizen science project. Please also cross-post to Aussie Enviro.

One positive is that the research is now in the open so it will be easier to monitor the flow of money. However, how it will be turned around to become fairer is not clear. At least knowing it allows conservation and other environment organisations to keep asking questions and demanding change.

Tell us about them. Nice pic!

No matter what euphemism is given to our action in the Gulf, we are taking sides. We’re taking the side of those who attacked and decapitated a sovereign nation unlawfully. Our actions will result in deaths, directly or indirectly, of many unarmed civilians because we are freeing up US/Israel aircraft to keep carpet bombing Iran. Same as sending F35 parts to Israel to be used on civilian Palestinians.

We are now (unofficially) taking part in the Middle East War which some are already calling the start of WW3. Australian government, you are making this nation a future target without our consent.

Or as Iran knows the war brought by the Epstein Coalition.

I’d laugh if the situation wasn’t so contemptible.

It’s now confirmed. We are sending military aircraft and missiles to the UAE. I’ve posted up an article about that and about a webinar in which Shoebridge will be a speaker.

If it were only that simple but it is not. Do a little research and you will learn, for example,

A nuclear winter would not reverse the effects of global warming. The changes in surface temperature, solar radiation and precipitation, would exacerbate some effects, including ocean acidification and damage to the ozone layer. Recent studies modeling the potential climate effects of nuclear war using crop yields, marine fishery and livestock production as indicators, found that production levels across the board would drop catastrophically, leading to global famine. https://www.icanw.org/what_would_nuclear_war_do_to_our_natural_environment

No, they will not be able to say that. The facts have been known and recorded in so many places. No one will be able to plead ignorance. When our children are old enough to understand we must also let them know the facts and teach them how to have a propaganda and spin detector AND also teach them lots of self-help skills.

Shoebridge is a voice of intelligence and reason. I wish our government would listen to him. Otherwise, we’ll end up in another (even more horrific) quagmire.

We have US operations and facilities in the Northern Territory. If Iranian intelligence showed that these were being used to aid the American assault on Iran in any way, they’d have every right to destroy them. We could be a legitimate target. If during the early days of this despicable war we’re already thinking of aiding Arab gulf states ruled by dictator families put there by the US, we are already active in this conflict, not just there for defensive purposes (according to the lame explanation we are being given by our government).

I believe many Australians would not support a draft but others would, PLUS we would be blasted by war propaganda (which we already are). I’d like to see all those older men who are so pro-war go and enlist and leave our young people alone.
