What do you think about this?
British-owned beef giant CPC has been granted a permit to poison and kill 20,000 native galahs and little corellas at one of their vast cattle stations in the NT, Australia.
In its permit application, CPC admits its practices created the problem: “grain production, on-site storage, and cattle feeding have provided an artificial food source.”
Ornithologist Dr Lilleyman was "shocked" to learn of the NT government's decision to grant the permit.
She said that Birdlife Australia is concerned about the potential for secondary poisoning of non-target species occurring close to "an internationally significant wetland".
CPC has ten cattle stations on about 9 million acres. They supply cattle and beef to Asian markets, domestic feedlots and processors, and export live cattle.
The company is owned by Guy and Julia Hands through the Hands Family Office. They live in Guernsey after leaving England to avoid UK tax.
CPC has also applied for massive water licenses for irrigation projects to grow grain sorghum and other crops which will inevitably attract even more birds.
So what happens then? Even wider-scale poisoning of native wildlife?
If you become unemployed in Australia your income drops more than in any other country in the OECD apart from the UK, so the idea that people come here to access unemployment payments is doubtful - apart from the fact that you have to be here for 4 years to get JobSeeker.
Out of ten men, one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, nine of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective, the laughter, the silence, the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say"most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harasses women, but that most men help protect the system that does.
Great. Now that it’s declared a terrorist attack. Can the govt please increase security funding for First Nations groups, create new laws, employ a First Nations special envoy and run a Royal Commission into Racism against First Nations people? #InvasionDay
So, @AmandaRishworth has refused multiple requests to turn off mutual obligations during this heatwave. People with health issues & disabilities are being put at serious risk and this government does not care
I’m betting we’d be hearing all about the failed terrorist attack in Perth if the person was of middle eastern appearance. But, white guy? Nothing to see here.
@qw3rtyqw3rty Your husband took a journalist and a camera crew to deliberately target Cairo Takeaway for an organised operation titled "Undercover Jew" attempting to create a situation of division and racial hatred.
He then sued the resturaunt crying victim.
Maybe sit this one out lol
As a social scientist long experienced in crime prevention I'd love to bear hug the champs who made this. Evidence based policy and human rights still matter.

🟥 WOW... 🇬🇱🇩🇰
The lyrics of this new “Greenland Defense Front” video. 👌🏼
Just - WOW.
‘Epic’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.
They tried to fine the fans, so the fans built an academy. 🏟️
Now, the mission continues with Gaza Al-Irada FC. Watch how the Celtic community is supporting amputee footballers in PaIestine.
Standing with PaIestine. 🇵🇸🍀
Another highly qualified woman the pro-Israel lobby have a problem with
Cathy Willcox's job is a political cartoonist; she is not an abalone diver
Her entire job is to question, analyse and provoke discussion - that is the entire point of a political cartoonist
She is one of the greatest cartoonists Australia has ever produced, of far more astuteness, intelligence and respect in her profession than the men now inciting a disgusting pile-on, to the point this woman is now fearing for her safety
Anybody who's still supporting this narrative by this stage knows exactly what they're doing
