Wow. Australia is really starting to go down the gurgler. First a bill to make it illegal to protest peacefully, then destruction of two world heritage listed sites for profit, now this. Its hard to believe so many people just allow this to happen.

That article is so disturbing Mel. What are the two heritage sites that were destroyed?

Hey Ryan,
The Great Barrier Reef is going to begin to be dredged in the next couple years, which is beyond comprehension. They have justified it by saying they will only dredge the outskirts and most of the coral is dead anyway. Yet to explain to the public how coral that has been there for a very long time is all of a sudden dying or dead.
The world heritage listed forest being destroyed is in Tasmania, on of our most scenic and beautiful states. They have approached UNESCO and proposed to decrease boundary of World Heritage Listing by 74,000 hectares. Truly ridiculous. All done by a party that's been in power less then a year and didn't mention either issue during campaign. Sure you've also heard of the Great White shark cull that's happening daily now, and will continue for 3 years, despite huge opposition.

Terrible terrible things you speak off, things need to be challenged now because your great grand kids will be living in a cesspit, melbourne if I was you mate I would find out any sites that are appealing this, petitions for example, if enough people say" no that's wrong "they have to listen, a prime example is today in my city, 96 families never accepted no and thousands and thousands followed suit until they had to listen, for example I would find like minded aussies and share information on social network sites, start petitions, spread the word, do not accept no, get it trending worldwide, hell send me something to sign and I will pass it on, if you need any help let me know mate.

That just beggars belief Mel. I had the privilege of swimming in the reef a few years back. The idea that it could be dredged is obscene. So what if some of the coral is dead. It should be left untouched regardless.
And why is a forest in on of the largest countries in the world in sudden need of destruction?
I have to say looking at Australia from a distance, it's a bit worrying to watch the stealthy and steady rise of the right in mainstream politics.
Like Ed033 says all governments are corporations.
And corporations exist only for profit. Which means they don't care about you or me.

PS - where is Ed033 these days?

Well said Franky.
The tributes on Sunday and today were deeply moving.
