People cite this stuff as "NIMBY" but - it's not their backyard or even close to it? If anything this is an example of a perfectly reasonable town not caring about a perfectly fine battery project built on shitty land - the real problem is the deeper, systemic issue of Australian society / media

I already have a counterproposal:
Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.
Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.
All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.
And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government?
In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.

There's nothing inherently wrong with climate change. It's just that the ecosystems and built environments that we depend on as life support systems aren't equipped to handle the rapid changes. So if we want to live, we should deal with climate change ASAP.

One of the most damaging and enduring aspects of the Dismissal, fifty years ago today, was its poisoning of the electorate against the Whitlam government, ensuring that it would lose the subsequent election and creating fear of progressive government.
