  11. The goal of #voting in #elections is to get the people and policies you actually want. Your #vote increases the chance you wil get what you want.

    It is the opposite of #gambling.

    It helps if you remember that #polls were originally conducted by #campaigns to help each #campaign #manager know what strategies are working.

    Unless you are running a campaign, you can ignore polling. Especially if you, yourself, don't answer #surveys/polls.

  21. Outrage as endangered species living in forest goes unnoticed by loggers chopping it down. 'Nothing to see here': Greater gliders, yellow-bellied gliders, koalas and powerful owls.

    “Forestry Corporation admitted that they don’t do surveys for the nocturnal greater gliders at night! No wonder they aren’t finding any — they don’t want to find them, as it would seriously restrict their operations,” CEO Jacqui Mumford

    "Endangered marsupials have been discovered inside a forest that was being chopped down by the NSW government, prompting calls for its operations to be suspended across dozens of sites across the state."

    "After the Environmental Protection Agency was asked to intervene this week, NSW Forestry Corporation voluntarily asked its contractors to cease operations at the Styx River State Forest which borders the Cathedral Rock National Park, west of Coffs Harbour. It’s the second time since August the state-owned agency has been forced to down chainsaws because of the discovery of greater gliders."
