But wind turbines… (mumbles something or other).
Find that you don’t need turbines later and they can be removed. These coal seam scars are indicators of permanently damaged land and water.

Flanagan’s conclusion is a salutary warning about how Tasmanians don’t buckle: “In Tasmania, such battles tend to end in the mud and sometimes in jail – but they usually end the same way. The Franklin River, the pulp mills, the stadium: the people win, and the empire retreats in shame.”

Always cool to see this image, given my (very old) PhD in radioastronomy which included a run of single pulses from a wildly variable pulsar (1451-68). Don’t think the PM really knows what he’s wearing.

I thought the whole foundational point of universities/academe was the rigorous exploration of ideas, free of church or state orthodoxies. The mere suggestion of a government compact is antithetical and a litmus test for tyranny.

Very nice comment! One of those pieces that draws things together and makes you look a bit differently at the world.
