  1. I wanted to know if having a kid on a burning planet was right.

    "In Australia, young people such as Anjali Sharma are having to sue their leaders and elders to try to get the government to acknowledge they have a duty of care not to exacerbate the climate emergency. The government fought the young people and the government won."

    "Since May 2022, the federal environment minister has approved 11 new coalmines or expansions with 1,677m tonnes of lifetime emissions. That doesn’t sound like a nation that values new and future lives. Sometimes it feels as though the wrong things are taboo.

    It’s nothing short of criminal to have upended the traditional governing models of Universities in a quest to subsume every enterprise to the buffoonery of corporatism and debunked neoliberal economic fantasy.

    Tertiary sector bean counters ought to have remained adjunct to academic leadership as facilitators of educational excellence.

    Household budget imperatives have no place in the education system nor in govt charged with nurturing all of their charges. Anything deviating from this responsibility is a failure of their ‘duty of care’.

  3. “The reality is that the law in Australia as it currently stands provides no real or effective legal avenue through which individuals and communities like those in the Torres Strait Islands can claim damages or other relief in respect of harm that they claim to have suffered as a result of governmental decisions and conduct which involve matters of high or core government policy,” Justice Wigney said.

    “That will remain the case until the law in Australia changes, either by the incremental development or expansion of the common law by appellate courts or by the enactment of legislation.”

    “Until then, the only real avenue available to those in the position of the applicants and other Torres Strait Islanders involves public advocacy and protest and ultimately recourse via the ballot box.”

  5. #Digital Voice switchover cut off 95-year-old's landline

    My 95-year-old friend is in distress. His #landline has stopped ­working & he’s told by his provider #EE that he may need to accept a new phone number to get his ­service back

    He lives alone & relies on his phone for human contact

    It will be a challenge for him to let ­people know his new number and he risks being cut off from #medical #communications

Hey we joined Wills Climate and Environment Policy Group who met with our Federal Labor MP Peter Khalil MP this morning discussing #DutyOfCare bill, improving measurement and reduction of #methane emissions, using the new water trigger to assess the #Beetaloo fracking projects, and many other issues.

  13. CW: UK politics - health & refugees

    Why do protection seekers have diphtheria even?

    All people coming to the UK should be screened for their health on arrival

    The duty of care belongs to the authorities and the Home Office is failing in this

    Would you go to an amusement park with a 1% fatality rate?


    1% is 1 out of 100 so ...
    • Ferris wheel has 16 seats, so 32-48 people. Every third time the Ferris wheel started up, someone would die.
    • Roller coaster with a 9 car, 4/car train, every third time it starts up, someone would die.
    I would pass on that amusement park..
