This Is Not Good

Here in Australia our Federal Government has lost it’s freakin mind – they are:

1. considering dumping sludge in the Great Barrier Reef (cause it’s really big and we won’t really miss the bit they’re planning to use – honest that’s what the Federal Minister Greg Hunt said  – told you this government had waved bye bye to the sanity fairy a while back), 
2. utilizing Fracking in one of Qld’s most fertile farming areas as well as alarmingly close to the water table that feeds into the rest of South East Qld 
3. expanding the Abbot Point Coal Terminal in the Whitsunday Islands(irony there for anyone who knows the name of our Prime Minister)
4. revisiting dumping nuclear waste in South Australia (what did they ever do I ask you).

So recently various protest groups suddenly found themselves being flooded with support from those who do not usually support/or not support things such as this.  Fence sitters everywhere have been taking a stand and those who normally would support our government are leaving the land of WTF and coming to stand with the rest.

Problem – either the government hasn’t:

1. Noticed
2. Noticed but doesn’t care
3. Hasn’t noticed because Toto they’re not in Kansas anymore

So what to do – well since I covered that in an earlier post I want to leave a link in this one to a petition to help save Australian Flora and Fauna in danger due to these actions  please consider having a look because we need the help.
