You can't possum your way out of a koala decline. That's not how bioDIVERSITY works. FFS.
As if carbon offsets weren’t a big enough fraud…welcome to the world of ‘biodiversity offsets’…sure the idea failed dismally in NSW but Murray Watt is keen to have a crack…
what could go wrong?
Just even more extinctions i suppose…#climate #nature

This is the correct question
There were cops present, watching & listening to the nazis as they broke laws around hate speech & inciting hate. Were they instructed not to intervene .... with bats, pepper spray & arrests .... like they do with climate change or anti genocide protesters??
What instructions were they given ??

The person apologising for failing to pass on the Sydney neo-Nazi rally protest information is the Deputy NSW Police Commisioner.
He was recently the acting NSW Police Commissioner and applied for the top job.
But 3 months ago he was passed over for the Commissioner's job.
