Australian Current Affairs Thread (not a Politics Thread) lol

Let's say for argument's sake, climate change is proven to false in the future. However, we implement a range of positive environmental policies and invest in renewable energy over the next few years. What's going to be the outcome?

A more sustainable, cleaner planet with a reduction of waste and pollution... 

Wow, what a **** result. My children and grandchildren are going to hate that

I’m going to hate it aren’t I

Kerry Anne on morning TV says we should run over protestors, no response. This women asks a rhetorical question of how many more women must die

The show is taken down and calls for q and a to be axed.

 Ffs I thought I was supposed to be the “snowflake”

The double standards for the debating team will literally be the death of us all.

Did you watch her on Q&A?

She was demented...as I think Goat might have said.

What she said was indefensible, from the little I could actually take in, my brain was so numb with her rantings.

[Neverbloom]

this is old but considering international men's day is on in 2 days its topical
 

it even features everyone's best friend jordan peterson

Yep

im not a fan, but she didn’t support a far right racist, deny climate change or ridicule those protesting against inaction, so she was several steps in sanity up over your mate

nah its just peterson describing the apex fallacy

though the women's video believes in international man's day and i personally think both men and women deserve to have their issues focused on

No they're not.

Not so far.

I know they've been burned in the past (pardon the pun) and maybe they're waiting for things to get even worse, which I, sadly, think they will.

But they need to come out swinging soon...as your article observed.

Nope they have been smashed every time , you know soon as they come out “swinging” it will be portrayed as “political opportunism” ironically by a ****wit in a baseball cap standing at a map he doesn’t understand

Founder of the English Defence League a far right anti Islam group and former British Nationalist Party guy

basically like those Australian patriot nutters (Blair cotterel) but British 

Rubin defines him as a moderate who just cares for his country 

So when we talk about indefensible, I might of described him as indefensible but seeing as he makes a decent living out of defending far right nutters I’m not sure what is and isn’t defensible now 

In short he and Rubin are twats but Rubin is the more dangerous  twat as he is a clever one

They have to challenge that " not now" diversion.

Morrison's  lump of coal moment in Parliament should become a global meme depicting the irresponsibility of politicians who have espoused denial and inaction for decades.

Maybe even what has happened this last week isn't enough to galvanise the majority to demand change. But sooner or later people who have gone along with him will be affected, and the tide will turn.

Surely.  SURELY!

What they have to do is highlight the reduction in funds and staff from frontline services......

.....".Under the 2019-20 NSW State Budget, Fire and Rescue had its capital expenditure budget cut by $28.5 million or 35 per cent. The Rural Fire Service has its capital expenditure budget cut by $49.9 million or 75 per cent."........

https://independentaustralia.net/article-display/gladys-berejiklian-slashes-fire-service-budgets-while-nsw-burns,13307

"

In terms of the budget of day to day operations of the Fire services, Fire and Rescue had its budget cut by $12.9 million or 1.6% and the Rural Fire Service had its budget cut by $26.7 million or 4.8%.

However, there is also one other key pillar of fire fighting that has also been hit by the budget cuts of the NSW Coalition Government: the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. One of the most important tasks performed by Parks and Wildlife is controlled hazard reduction burns.

This pre-emptive action ensures that when bushfire season does arrive, the amount of deadwood and fuel for the fire is kept to an absolute minimum. This helps to ensure that if and when fires do occur they are more manageable and far less of a threat to property and communities.".......

 

 

[wendybr]

Yes...absolutely!
