  1. More people are killed on Australian roads.

    "Deaths on Australian roads have increased every year since 2020. This is despite the Australian government’s commitment to Vision Zero – having zero deaths or serious injuries on our roads by 2050."

    "Unfortunately, 1,317 road deaths were recorded in 2025, a 1.9% increase from 2024. Land transport accidents also remain a leading cause of death for children and young adults, and the third leading cause of injury hospitalisations." >>

    Comments: To "look at the entire system of road use" one must not just have the car as the road user in mind but the entire mobility design and their associated industries. The focus should be on public infrastructure that enable active and safe mobility (walking and cycling) for all. "Good mobility design" does not kill, maim, pollute or leads to planetary heating.

  6. War? Out with petrol standards. Maximising harm from vehicle pollution.

    What’s ‘dirty fuel’ doing to our lungs? The same as it did for most of 2025

    Why does sulfur in fuel matter for health?
    "Traffic-related pollution causes harm even at the relatively low levels found in Australia. Cleaner fuel means cleaner air – and cleaner air saves lives. Even short detours from that path should be taken cautiously, transparently and for as little time as possible." >>

  11. Motorists killing road workers? Money over lives?
    We'd rather not know

    "The way road trauma was classified contributed to that visibility problem."

    "A traffic controller killed at a roadworks site does not appear in a public 'road worker' category."

    "...While Queensland published weekly road toll figures, there was no one publicly accessible source that integrated public road fatalities, work-related road deaths, serious injury hospitalisations in one place or in near-real time. Road workers are especially vulnerable because they are exposed on high-speed corridors where a single reckless decision can have catastrophic consequences."

    "Tragically, one afternoon Suzanne was struck by a truck travelling 106km/h in a 60km/h zone. The truck drove on the footpath and killed her." >>

    "You can kill a person with post-harvest burning just as well as with an axe”.
    (Bertolt Brech, slightly altered)

    "Structural violence
    is a form of violence wherein some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs or rights."
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structur

    When residents express their concerns about the prolonged toxic pollution to the relevant state institutions, the response is along the lines of 'close up your house, stay indoors or move away and shut up.'

  31. Toxic smoke pollution maximising harm

    The government's Forestry Corporation of NSW is still polluting the Bellingen, Gleniffer and Repton area with toxic smoke. Wet piles and the green timber piles are smouldering. After a cocktail of pesticides was applied, the wet piles with green timber were set alight and are left smouldering for days, maximising the toxic smoke pollution over a wide area.

    These negative externalities occur when the consumption or production of a commodity (cellulose) causes a harmful effect to a third party.

    It appears that the Forestry Corporation and EPA evade or pass responsibility and the many concerned residents ring 000 and overburden the small Gleniffer Bushfire Brigade now...
