SNA (Significant Natural Areas) is basically operating a land grab from local farmers, since they will be given no monetary compensation for not being allowed to use half of their properties.
Protecting the environment and reforestation are always good, but regular citizens aren't given the compensations or 'stimulus packages' which corporations receive.

Good one.


it was shocking for me. Because, with all their other flaws (insular mentality in certain areas) I always perceived Aussies and Kiwis to be among the most honest people in the world, right up there with Scandinavians.

Which they are, but mainly those from the bottom, the working and middle class.
More and more shady practices are being exposed on the part of banks, rest home owners, ceo's, politicians and such.


It's like that in most countries nowadays.

The other thing is: after reading how sexism and sexual harassment manifested themselves in Australian Parliament, I figuratively felt like vomitting.
It was THAT bad, reminded one of Australia's penal colonies past.

By contrast, Americans, I feel are overdoing the sexism part.

I'm certain Trump and Cuomo made passes at their female employees or sleazy come ons.
It's not good they deserved a public embarassment or not to be promoted.
But other than that, so what?
They didn't pressure them into sex, the women were able to brush them off without ill-consequences.
