Fighting for Australia's wildlife. Liberated from christianity. Love JS Bach, hippie rock, absurdist humour, progressive politics, science, history. #auspol

A fight for a free mind is a grand task! Life is too short to be enslaved by anything: religion, superstition, bigotry, or fascist politics.

@RebeccaVassarot @GreensACT @ShaneRattenbury But with a massacred kangaroo population, thanks to the Greens brutal kangaroo cull policy. The kangaroo population at Callum Brae is a small fraction of the 1 kangaroo per hectare supposedly permitted to survive by the Greens. Lazy, cruel and misguided #SaveCanberrasKangaroos

@animaljusticeAU Lovely. If we can't learn to co-exist peacefully with Australia's wildlife, including kangaroos, future generations won't have the opportunity to experience their presence #SaveCanberrasKangaroos #StopKillingKangaroos

@tanya_plibersek Great to have federal Environment Minister saying this. Sadly wildlife volunteers' experience is that the fight to defend marsupials is usually a fight against government - including Labor governments - sometimes govts with Greens ministers. ACT government is a classic example.

@blakandblack @JustChillieh Can you imagine having this unique animal in your country and then doing everything possible to destroy its habitat, leaving it endangered? Only in Australia.

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@JustChillieh Yes a koala joey. Koalas are harmless, shy gentle creatures like all marsupials. They will probably be extinct within 50 years thanks to the inability of Aus goverments to prevent rampart deforestation. The fight for Aussie wildlife is largely a fight against gutless government.

@RebeccaVassarot Bullets have a devastating impact on Canberra's native wildlife too! Your cruel kangaroo slaughter is leading to localised extinction of our #wallaroo. Don't believe me? Try to find one in the reserves that have been "culled". Publish the results #SaveCanberrasKangaroos

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@MichaelPascoe01 Let's not forget little old ACT. Canberrans are frustrated at the lack of an alternative to the @ACTLabor @GreensACT coalition government. This Territory government is tired and arrogant. The Greens sold out. The @CanberraLibs are gutless. We need #Teals!!

@tanya_plibersek @AliciaPayneMP @ALeighMP @DavidPocock Thanks Tanya, Alicia, David, for paying attention to local environmental issues. Refreshing to see federal representatives doing that. BUT how many kangaroos were you able to observe following the ACT government's obscene slaughter of these gentle marsupials in recent weeks?

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

Wallaroos are heading towards extinction in Canberra nature reserves; a direct result of the @ACTLabor @GreensACT government's hideous kangaroo "conservation cull". Illegal killing of wallaroos is ignored by the arrogant @ABarrMLA @ShaneRattenbury government. @RebeccaVassarot

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@ACTLabor @GreensACT government in Australian Capital Territory has adopted a fascist, colonial approach to our relationship with wildlife. Judge, jury, executioner; massacring 1645 kangaroos, plus joeys, this Winter. No acknowledgement of opposition or alternatives to killing.

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@GreensACT Would any ethical person work for @GreensACT? They lead the needless brutal slaughter of thousands of kangaroos incl baby joeys. Claimed 'science' is discredited and the methods are indisbutably cruel. @ACTGreenMLAs should be ashamed #stopkillingkangaroos #SaveCanberrasKangaroos

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

It's such a bloody pity kangaroos can't shoot back. Then we'd see how brave those shooters really are, with their rifles and night vision scopes. Cowards and psychopaths! #savecanberraskangaroos #stopkillingkangaroos

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@RebeccaVassarot @GreensACT So sad that @GreensACT hate kangaroos so much they support the brutal mass slaughter of these beautiful animals in the places they naturally belong. The "scientific" excuses used to justify this animal cruelty are entirely false. #stopkillingkangaroos #SaveCanberrasKangaroos

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@actgovernment Kanga cup promoted by the ACT government, which is in the throes of brutally slaughtering 1650 kangaroos (plus baby joeys). How do @ACTLabor and @GreensACT MLAs sleep at night? @ABarrMLA @RebeccaVassarot @ShaneRattenbury hypocrites!! #stopkillingkangaroos #SaveCanberrasKangaroos

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@animaladvocacy_ Yes, and governments such as @ACTLabor @GreensACT in Australian Capital Territory are mindlessly proceeding with needless mass kangaroo slaughter in 2022 - modelling psychopathic behaviour @ABarrMLA @RebeccaVassarot @ShaneRattenbury #SaveCanberrasKangaroos #stopkillingkangaroos

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

The @ACTLabor and @GreensACT government is slaughtering kangaroos faster than they can breed. Our lazy representatives say they "support the science" without knowing what it is. Since when does "science" justify blatant cruelty? @ABarrMLA @RebeccaVassarot #SaveCanberrasKangaroos

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

Brutal execution of kangaroos goes on night after night at Canberra's Red Hill reserve. We have @GreensACT to thank for this. The Green's environment minister and MLAs say it's all OK, "We support the science". Really? When does "science" justify cruelty? #SaveCanberrasKangaroos

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@RebeccaVassarot OK, very good of you but tell us (honestly for once) how you respond to the heartrending stories of Canberrans who live near the ACT nature reserves where kangaroos, wallaroos and wallabies are now being mercilessly slaughtered. Your decision to do this! #auspol #kangarookillers

[Iconoclast at large @Happybackslider]

@GreensACT @pocockdavid @SenKatyG ACT Greens would do better if the party had the guts to walk away from Canberra's hideously cruel unnecessary kangaroo cull. Opposition to the cull is one of the fastest growing community movements in the ACT. Greens are on the wrong side of history here #kangarookillers #auspol
