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." >>

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.

With increasing inequality, that is non spending consumers, the system is increasingly employing hostile practices. Privately owned public spaces such as walkways, plazas, arcades and small parks have to ensure the safety of their customers and staff. Non-consumers have no place in this scheme.
