Now Sydney is experiencing extreme flooding, will governments quickly mobilise for climate change adaption? They could start by not approving new coal mines. More than 30,000 residents in the Hawkesbury-Nepean were given flood evacuation orders and warnings, and the NSW SES said on Monday, ‘Seven evacuation centres have been established and one large animal centre’. ‘The first “return with caution” notice has been issued to residents in the Plough and Harrow Dam areas’. US news organisation, Bloomberg, reports that ‘[Oracle Corporation cofounder] Larry Ellison is turning his Hawaiian island into a paradise for the super-rich, and pricing out the families who have lived there for generations’. Seems odd that the fine for driving your car into protestors, like what happened last week in Sydney, is $469, and three demerit points, while putting your body on the road to protest the lack of climate action can be a fine of up to $22,000 and two years jail. If Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty, isn’t Prince Andrew guilty too? And also, please tell us all the names of the one percenters she and Epstein serviced.
Former Senator Rex Patrick is pushing for the National Archives to release documents about former PM John Howard and former Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer’s dealings with Timor-Leste in the 2000s, Michael West Media reports in his latest efforts to air the secret trials of whistleblower/ lawyer Bernard Collaery. US environmental lawyer, Steven Donziger, remarked last week, ‘A real lesson for all of us comes from Ecuador, where indigenous leader, Leonidas Iza, led a successful 18-day national strike that resulted in lower gas prices and a end to new oil drilling in the Amazon’. Congrats Bluesfest, their 2022 event ranked number one highest grossing Australian event for the first six months 2022, according to the mid-year report by Pollstar, the international bible of the live music industry. Globally, Pollstar says Bluesfest was number nine for box office sales. On factor contributing to bee losses around the world is the Varroa destructor mite, and now Australia has confirmed cases and around Newcastle, north of Sydney and west of Coffs. The ABC resports 19 emergency zones have been established by NSW Department of Primary Industries. NSW Farmers Biosecurity Chair, Ian McColl, said in a statement: ‘It was clear biosecurity screening protocols at our borders were clearly not at the standard required, and it is time for the federal government to urgently fix the system before it is too late’.
What’s this? Is it an Inner-city private school alumni having thier buck’s party at a winery, or world leaders at G7 showing how in touch they are with the commoners? And who can spot the Alpha, Beta and Sigma in this manosphere lineup? Hint: when your pants are starting to fall down, you are the Beta. And a Sigma would never be seen in such a photo.
