  1. Will the 'koala tourist park' save the endangered species?

    "Habitat loss and fragmentation is the number one threat to koalas. Others include climate change, bushfires, disease, vehicle strikes and dog attacks."

    "The NSW government says logging must immediately cease in areas to be brought into the park’s boundary. However, logging pressures can remain, even after national parks are declared. Forestry activities must cease completely, and forever, if the park is to truly protect koalas."

    "What’s more, recreational activities, if allowed in the national park, may negatively impact koalas. For example, cutting tracks or building tourist facilities may fragment koala habitat and disturb shy wildlife."

  2. Arrested for Existing While Homeless

    We cannot arrest our way out of the affordable housing crisis. We can, however, fool ourselves into #blaming the #victims.

    It is for this reason and this reason alone that 200 citations were issued, and 30 arrests were made for #encroachment #violations in San Diego, California alone, in just one year, according to court records.

    Encroachment violations are often used as an excuse to #arrest #houseless #residents who store their belongings on city sidewalks, residential streets, or park benches. As the legislative title suggests, they are essentially “encroaching” on public space.
