'Western values' and 'national pride' underpin Coalition's education reform plans

"The Coalition has unveiled its plan for "root and branch" educational reform, which would remove cross-curricular units on Indigenous history and Asian studies."

"The Coalition would also "streamline pathways" for future teachers to address shortages." >>

Gas from the Beetaloo Basin will only pour fuel on the climate change fire
"The NT will become unliveable within decades..."

"In terms of gas reserves, the Beetaloo is bigger than Western Australia’s North West Shelf project, the nation’s largest fossil fuel development which accounts for more than 40% of Australia’s oil and gas production."

"The Beetaloo Basin is covered with pastoral leases and different forms of Aboriginal tenure. Some of this tenure is the NT’s Aboriginal Land Rights Act land, which provides fairly strong rights for Traditional Owners. But most of the Aboriginal title in the basin is federal native title tenure that does not allow Traditional Owners to veto resource extraction."

"Climate forecasts suggest many parts of the NT will become unliveable within decades, due to the lethal heat caused by climate change. The NT News headline, “NT will be cooking with Beetaloo gas”, sums this dilemma perfectly, if accidentally. The irony of this headline won’t be lost on anyone who is familiar with the science."

"No amount of jobs or money can compensate for this devastating future. By turning on the Beetaloo tap, we risk watching the climate crisis worsen before our very eyes." >>

Space junk punched a new hole in the moon. It’s not ours to abuse

"The space industry treats the sky as a place to dump what it no longer wants. We must develop a new model of accountability...Stewardship asks what we owe a place. Ownership asks what we can extract from it before anyone stops us."

"It’s the same hubris a mining company has about a river, or a fleet has about a fishery, right up until the fish are gone. We are simply exporting the same appetite further out, because the moon, unlike the ocean or the atmosphere, has no way to fight back."

"This is the same posture empires have always taken toward frontiers they didn’t build and don’t have to live inside the consequences of. Plant a flag, extract the value, leave the mess for whoever comes next, and call the mess someone else’s problem, or better yet, call it nobody’s problem, because there was never an owner to complain. People love to own the profits without owning the consequences of them left in their wake."

"Ownership was never really the problem. Nobody owned the lands where Native Americans thrived either. The problem is that we are acting out ownership’s oldest habits, extraction without accounting, expansion without consequence, on a body we all agreed, on paper, to hold in common." >>

"Public lands belong to all of us. No one should plunder those lands for profit."
"A planned dismantling of everything."

"Trump’s plan to sell off a part of Yosemite is what oligarchy looks like." - Rebecca Solnit

"The Trump administration’s ruthless efforts to turn over public lands for mining and logging and fossil fuel exploitation while it also dismantles the US Forest Service and National Park Service is about turning long-term wellbeing for the many, human and more than human, into short-term profit for an elite."

"To give away a piece of land is one form of harm to the parks, to take away the park’s workers, whose labors protect endangered species, waterways and land, prevent fires and provide public services from search and rescue operations to education to clean restrooms is another." >>

Making hostile spaces The dispersal of non consumers

* At an intersection of numerous car parks, retail industry and an amusement industrial complex in Coffs Harbour there is a small green space with benches and birds. People and birds rest there and have their lunch.

Some time ago the amusement & drink giant piped ongoing unpleasant, loud music over the small green island and the abundant car parks.

The intention of the outdoor speakers distributing noise pollution is/was to engage in then 'dispersal' of ‘loitering' non customers.

This loud and repetitive ‘music’ is also known as "aggressive" or "defensive" architecture. This design in mostly public spaces is intended as a form of 'organised abandonment' (Ruth Wilson Gilmore) of the poor and the unhoused.

Often the exclusionary design acoustic ('steady-state spam’) is combined with other anti homeless devices (anti-homeless spikes furniture) which function to keep members of the public out of public spaces.

Mowing down children and the racist feeding frenzy that followed.
Alabama in the 1930s?

"* Two children, who were riding a motorised pushbike and left with serious injuries, were allegedly pursued and mowed down by 56-year-old Gol Gol man Andrew Brien.."

"Mr Brien allegedly pursued the children through the pedestrian-only mall in the belief they were involved in vandalism at his partner's real estate business. However, the court heard the children were "blameless" of any offending on the night."

"The amount and volume of racist and violent comments surged after the incident, with hundreds of social media posts laying blame on the boys and praising the driver."

"The act alone was shocking, but what followed on social media revealed a distressing and damaging ugliness...What we've seen lately in terms of social media is that anger is coming out in really primal responses, in ideas and thoughts and beliefs which do not have a place in a civilised society."

"It is not OK to hurt children. It is never OK to hurt children. It's not OK to call this man a hero."

"No-one should see violence against their children or community being celebrated or joked about...I don't want to see comments that I think would be better placed in 1930s Alabama". >>
