UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

We know that Australian children’s civics education is at an all-time low. The government’s social media ban may make this worse.

Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.

Both our side blocks were subdivided so they have miniscule gardens, and all our stupid neighbours want to do is complain about our beautiful trees.
1. The trees were here before them
2. Our trees rid the air of pollution and provide shade, cooling & habitat
3. Do any of them fucking breathe?

Getting govt to reduce fossil fuel subsidies is unlikely.
But what if they decided to spend the same amount on:
retraining coal workers
tax breaks for EV/Hybrid/PHEV owners
grants for regenerative ag farmers
Electrifying public transport
etc.
We're talking $14 billion
Would you support that?

SA govt sent us all out an Algal Bloom Information Pack.
It's a glossy 12 page A4 brochure with plenty of photos.
Kinda ironic given this sort of waste of the world's resources and lack of respect for its forests and waterways is what probably got us here in the first place.
