If only otters, possums and dolphins had voting rights the environment would be rectified. Include ants. And bees.

Why is it that sneaky politicians, as a species, never become extinct…

thank you thank you for your extremely
clear and reasoned explanation of the whole
fisheries whoha….
why oh why can’t newspapers
and websites
and tv newspersons
all be so clear and reasoned and
really EXPLAIN the stuff
they are jumping up and down about.
thank you

oh and
encore aussie,
i think it was someone else
who provided the helpful fisheries stuff
and someone just put it in the FD column
by mistake.
but i do love the juxtapositioning
apropos, if not planned…
and yes, extinction is forever
why oh why can’t we apply it to
certain pollies in our midst……
