Both our side blocks were subdivided so they have miniscule gardens, and all our stupid neighbours want to do is complain about our beautiful trees.
1. The trees were here before them
2. Our trees rid the air of pollution and provide shade, cooling & habitat
3. Do any of them fucking breathe?

Getting govt to reduce fossil fuel subsidies is unlikely.
But what if they decided to spend the same amount on:
retraining coal workers
tax breaks for EV/Hybrid/PHEV owners
grants for regenerative ag farmers
Electrifying public transport
etc.
We're talking $14 billion
Would you support that?

SA govt sent us all out an Algal Bloom Information Pack.
