That's just it though, they know it's divisive, that's the point. They don't care if they're lying they just hope their lies spread to enough people.

Indigenous issues are pretty complex imo, so writing people off who are getting confused by the flood of BS seems like a good way of losing the referendum.

I've often thought we need a national reforestation effort, good to see someone is doing what they can.

Appreciate the work.

The fact that everyone is still back on reddit shows how little we care about morals and ethics. Using Facebook is another example.

I think people are just so busy trying to get through life they just want some easy distraction without thinking about things, it's understandable.

I take great exception to per capita values. In the overall picture it bears little relevance, the total output is the most important value.

Per capita values can be used to tell you where to focus your effort though, provided it's coupled with an understanding of why the value may be high (which this article gives).

This is why we need to ensure that a) the libs don't have any seats and b) greens/good independents like Pocock get seats

You could build a hospital, but have you considered that sport?

There needs to be actual punishment on pollies who fail their duty of care.

I agree it would be good to be able to harness this sort of BS tactic, but I think part of the problem is that the people who generally use these tactics just don't give a shit about what's true. The other thing is that conservative groups and businesses tend to have a lot more money and control over media platforms that left wing groups do, so it's much easier to spread their message.

But have you considered that we could put sheep and cattle on that land.
