Whiskers 🇦🇺Reflecting on an <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australian</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/roadtrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roadtrip</a> from top to bottom, I feel duty bound to report that the health of country(*) and level of its care can be ranked from good to abysmal as follows: 1. Aboriginal protected areas 2. Cattle rangelands 3. State forest reserves 4. National parks 5. Broadacre farming* Not rigourous science, just observations of things like native vegetation, weeds, hot bushfire damage, clarity of water in creeks, etc.cc <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AustralianLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianLabor</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/landmanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landmanagement</a>

ApaulD<a href="https://aus.social/tags/australianlabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#australianlabor</a> please approach climate & environmental breakdown with the understanding we are in the fight of our lives.

Mark Deasy 🍉The <a href="https://aus.social/tags/canberraliberals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canberraliberals</a> can fuck right off.In the unlikely event I lodge a postal vote, I'll send it straight to the AEC thankyou very much, not to the LIBERAL PARTY so they can harvest data, and may or may not forward my vote on.What happens when the Lib party staff member or volunteer notices that a postal vote is not going their way? Any guarantee there are not a few votes accidentally falling off the table in to the bin?[Edit: this process harvests information about the voter, not their vote itself. This spam is only offering to 'help' us request a postal vote from the AEC.]I cannot believe this practice is legal. But of course it is, because <a href="https://aus.social/tags/australianlabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#australianlabor</a> agrees with the Libs they should be exempt from <a href="https://aus.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> laws.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AustralianElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianElection</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Canberra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canberra</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/australiaVotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#australiaVotes</a>

Gracchus ☕️🏴‍☠️🇺🇳🇺🇦🦘Would love to see it happen and prove it can be done for the betterment of the country but, Bandt has to deal with the Labor Warlords, who would rather be in opposition than share power.

ApaulD<a href="https://aus.social/@danilic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@danilic</a> could you make a video on ‘Community forestry’ - the new name for native forest logging. This is what ‘community forestry’ looks like:  Like native forest logging. Exactly like it. Barren soil. Piles of logs. And not subject to the same regulation.  This area had all the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> knocked over in the last month. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/forest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forest</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecology</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a>  <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/australianlabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#australianlabor</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/vicpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vicpol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/lies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lies</a>  <a href="https://aus.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a>

I used to. For half my life I supported them. I would like to do so again.I don't now - because of their policies on refugees and climate. Instead I joined the Greens.Today, Greens in the Senate are improving refugee laws. I couldn't be happier. They are trying to block legislation written by Santos and Woodside. I couldn't be happier. (And, they are doing a host of stuff Labor used to be good at - housing, education, justice for the poor, all Good Stuff)The very best way I have of improving <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AustralianLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianLabor</a> is from outside it. I hope that they come around, but, if they don't, I hope one day to see a <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Greens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Greens</a> Government.To those who say it is a Shit / Shitlite Party choice. No, no it isn't. Those two parties are struggling to get a 30% of the electrate each. There's a third way and it grows at every election. Shit and Shitlite are vanishing like cold winters.
