In May, the world's biggest iron ore miner destroyed the sacred Aboriginal sites in Pilbara, Western Australia. The company went ahead with the destruction of the Juukan Gorge rock shelters despite the opposition of Aboriginal traditional owners. They were among the oldest historic sites in Australia. The caves showed evidence of continuous human habitation dating back 46,000 years. Compared to the profits from this mining ? ? ? Maybe the 3 execs will get fat Christmas Bonuses later. Enjoy the show.
I hope that this was a warning shot over their bows and next time the fine will be more meaningful. M.Jacques needs to be made to bleed a little.
It looks nice, from a distance, but then it melts. Always. Usually in your shoes and up your pants leg. You can’t live in a ski suit through the snow season.
Melts Schmelts. Still a thousand times better than heat - which gets in your shoes, up your pant legs, in your undies, under your arms, on your head, on your face, in your house, in your car, in your bed, etc etc etc.
Great Video @Sallyally Meanwhile but, please share the link when the chicks are hatching https://news.yahoo.com/australia-open-taking-gunman-back-230243614.html Australia open to taking gunman back from New ZealandROD McGUIRK August 27, 2020, 4:02 PM PDT·3 mins read CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s prime minister said Friday he was open to allowing an Australian white supremacist who slaughtered 51 worshippers at two New Zealand mosques to serve his life sentence in his homeland but the victims’ wishes would be paramount. A transfer would buck international convention and require changes to the laws in both countries, but proponents of the idea have called for Australia to take responsibility for imprisoning Brenton Harrison Tarrant and take the costs off New Zealanders. Tarrant, 29, was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without parole for the March 2019 attacks in Christchurch. He is the first person to be denied the possibility of parole in New Zealand and has enhanced security in prison for his own safety. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said while New Zealand has made no official request the Australian government was open to taking him back. . . . Send them to for safe, forgotten incarceration. Meng Wahnzhou remains incarcerated in over 1 year. Got Due Process? Got Prompt & Fair Trial? Send Them to where "frozen" incarceration exists. Or maybe N. Korea. Moi and that's the way it is Trust
@Moi621 It’s a dangerous business raising raptor chicks in a city. One big hazard is poisoned food- pigeons are a pest and are poisoned. The falcons hunt and eat them. Sending that terrorist back to Australia is a fair deal. We send NZ criminals back so we can wear the expense of keeping him here. I don’t know if you can apply a NZ sentence in Australia. Perhaps it’s reciprocal, like Medicare but I’m sure they’ll sort it out.
Australia was meant to be a Prison Colony! Sadly, that psychology exists in Australia today! Why NOT Capitalize On It? Australia has lots of Siberia Gulag potentials, but hotter. Go For It Australia as in we ain't or . . . if y'get my meanin' Profit Australian Peoples for housing the most internationally despicable Moi Australia for The Australians FIRST! YES Australia Can Be A Self Sufficient Economy. Don't ize Australia. If China wants to , . . . "charge them". Raise the tariff! WE got a problem here? Australia is a most perfect locale to be a nation / state / continent. AUSTRALIA PRIME New Zealand tomorrow Support an Australia economy for Australians. Not their money traders. Not THEM that claim otherwise. Australia & people could "profit" from such international prison situations.
Yes, we could copy the American method of managing prisoners. Make money from them. After all, the US started as a prison colony as Australia did.
Australia has been on my bucket list for 40 years. I am now in a position with my husband, that we can take some meaningful time, to really explore. I don't want to go for just two weeks. We're thinking a month or so. We'll bring our laptops, and work some, because we don't have near enough vacation time to pull that off. We are lucky to have jobs where our actual location is irreverent, as long as the work gets done. Where would someone like me go to find our best options? Do I need a travel agent? I've seen some good tours, and such, but they are 2-3 day adventures. I need to build an agenda, and I'm at a loss as to how to ensure we see all the things we need to. Do we need to see New Zealand? I think yes. Do I need to see the outback? I think, yes. How about the Great Southern Railway between Perth & Sydney? I have tons of questions like this. Can someone suggest a good starting point? There's lots of guidebooks on Amazon, but I've no idea which is the best. They are not reviewed frequently. A 4-star book, but only 30 reviews, isn't very telling.
You’ll be very welcome and I hope you have a great trip. I can’t advise a gravel guide but there are others who travel who may be able to. There is a poster who visited Oz a little while ago and he enjoyed himself. I don’t think I can refer you to him though. You need to see the Top End but don’t go in The Wet- November to April. Very hot and humid and rain! So much to see. I live near Melbourne and think it’s the nicest city, but all the state capital cities have their own appeal.
We're thinking our summer time. We'd love to get away from our stickiest/sweatiest month. July or August is our goal.
That’d be good for the northern half but Melbourne is usually cold and wet then. How do you feel about travelling in wintry conditions? September October would be better, weather wise, but you’d be returning to your humid summer.
We're both from the mid-west, so any chance we get to experience some cold is very nice. When we get into the 50s (10c) in the winter, we sleep with the windows open.
You’ll be fine in Melbourne then. If you came in November, you could go to the Melbourne Cup. A train trip is a good idea. Plenty of people to talk to and see the scenery. Lonely Planet guides are good, so I’ve heard.
Wrong! Entrepreneurial and Religious based colonies. Georgia is the only colony I ever heard of as a Prison Colony. My guess is the prisoners quickly died from the climate & diseases or went on to find, FREEDOM. The number of the real criminals were hardly enough to found a nation, as in Australia. KiwiLand was more religious based but unlike those in N. America - Kiwis had no trade. Economically isolated.
