  12. 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.

    * "Woolworths has installed outdoor speakers at its Darwin city store to play the supermarket's 'Fresh Food People' jingle on repeat in a bid to deter loitering.” >>

    * "The NSW Police Force is currently running an Australian-first trial in Moree (an area with a high Indigenous population) using rooftop drones to "fight crime" in the area, controlled by people hundreds of kilometres away at Bankstown Airport." >>

  14. @TrueNorthSpice The first James Bay project was devastating. I joined in the resistance to that project but to no avail. Megadams are destructive - look at Site C, Muskrat Falls - but we continue to destroy so much for this so called 'clean' energy projects. Of course, #IndigenousPeoples are on the front-line of this destruction, driving more communities into #poverty.

  18. 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". >>

    * "A 24-year-old hit and run driver who injured two pedestrians, one of them fatally, sped away and then bragged about it to his friends has been spared jail time in Darwin."
