“We have whole industries with business models built on the destruction of the natural world.” Dr Ken Henry

"Human treatment of the environment represents possibly the dumbest choice we have collectively made – and consistently been making for decades."

Australian wealth inequality frays the social fabric

"The top 10% of households now control 44% of all wealth in Australia. The collective wealth of the richest 200 Australians has nearly tripled over two decades, mostly from property and resources – economic activities that extract value from existing assets rather than new productive capacities; what economists call “rent-seeking”.

"Rent-seeking concentrates wealth away from productivity-enhancing investments – in business innovation, public infrastructure and worker wages. This leaves ordinary people paying ever-higher proportions of their income for necessities. Ordinary Australians have little to celebrate."

Forests, roads and mega fires
"More roads are associated with more fires"

"A problem arises when forest managers look at forests exclusively “through the lens of timber and dollar signs on trees."

@davevolek We should never forget that the modern #comfortism of the (Western) centers would never be possible without the #colonialRelationships that the #centers maintain with the #peripheries, nor without #extractivism. All of this will one day or another have to be called into #question. The least we could do "while waiting" for this or these days is to thoroughly rethink our #politics, or as I call it in reference to #Serres (the end of the city), our #cosmolitics.

Fixing outdated environmental laws (the EPBC Act)
Destruction as usual ?

“Australians are tired of the bush being bulldozed and burnt and elected a government that will act on nature and on climate." They expect "sweeping changes to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC) in the next 18 months."

"The past failures, combined with the approval of major fossil fuel projects and the rushed passage of laws to protect Tasmania’s salmon industry, have environmentalists worried about Labor’s second term."

"Environmental organisations also want an end to the “climate blindness” of Australia’s environmental laws, an end to loopholes such as the effective exemption granted to logging under regional forest agreements, and a clearer focus on what’s needed for the recovery of threatened species."

"Corporate Australia needed to “leave its bludgeons at the door” as the process started afresh."

"Ending habitat loss was the “bottom line outcome”, ...meaning that native forest logging and agricultural land clearing must be addressed in some form."

On a tour of the #Africa Museum outside #Brussels -- one of the sites which administered the ultimate #colonial #extractivism and resonant today:

'Tshibwabwa’s masks and body costumes, assembled as ‘The Hidden Face of Coltan’, are a parody of early modern plate armour. Their martial character reminds us that the coltan in our phones is a blood mineral, which fuels the wars in the eastern DRC. As visitors reach for their phones to post photos of Tonga, the mask looks back sceptically.'
.
.
'Tervuren was conceived as a showcase for the splendours of Leopold’s vast annex in Africa, but by the 1900s an international movement for ‘Congo reform’ was spreading word of European atrocities, especially those committed against the families of rubber tappers who fell short of their quotas.'
.
.

'But Congolese researchers who would like to explore the archives for themselves … are held back from entry to the EU by stringent visa regimes. Digitisation … remains a slow project. How can a museum be decolonised if the descendants of colonised Congolese can’t gain access to its archives?’

Blasting Aboriginal heritage sites

"Half a decade on from the blasting of Juukan Gorge by mining giant Rio Tinto, the laws that allowed the destruction to go ahead remain largely in place."

"We have been living with these types of Juukan Gorge-like incidents on everyone's country since the establishment of mining on our country, and it's not going to go away."

When you hear someone say that "AI is the future of search" as if it is a great thing, and a foregone conclusion, what they are actually saying is that the doors to any individual blog or website or resources are closing. The digital waypaths to finding sourced content directly are being shuttered and boarded up. That human search via multiple methods utilising various recommender systems is being removed. In favour of a single gateway to pre delivered materials all owned by private monopoly companies. And we are expected to react as if this is a good thing, the "future".

Queensland government cuts Environmental Defenders Office funding despite pre-election promise for support

"The service that we provide is sometimes inconvenient for powerful vested interests...There were countless examples of free legal advice the EDO had provided to individuals, landholders, First Nations groups and community groups to help them combat the interests of developers, mining companies and governments."
