Love the natural world and think we should stop wrecking it. Forest activist.
Enjoy words and the clever things people do with them.
I hurt for the people of Palestine.
Happy to look my age as long as I don't have to act it.

In the fight against slavery abolitionists eventually prevailed over slave owners. The fight wasnt won in the sensible centre but by ‘extremists’ who risked everything to save the lives of others. It scares me to think how the ABC would cover such a debate today. theconversation.com/friday-essay...

Oh, Canada – don’t make the same wildfire mistakes as Australia
A sobering fact is that prescribed burning is not the panacea it’s been made out to be

Does the cultural establishment recognise a cultural event when they see one?
or would they rather censor the Harbour Bridge march?

Australia criminalises courage. Richard Boyle exposed ATO abuse & faces prison. David McBride told the truth on war crimes & is in prison. That's not justice - it's a warning to stay silent. On World Whistleblowers Day, we call for laws that protect, not prosecute, truth-tellers.
