Geeez.
I don’t check in here much but stumbled across this today while searching for something else.
In a nutshell - a bloke posted on the possibly unfortunate demise of a possum and the crass public commentary around it. Then the thread is inexplicably and negatively diverted towards indigenous people.

Theres no good reason for having done this. This sort of stuff often has a degree of selective logic and reason about it, but it’s still obviously racially motivated and still hurtful to those at the receiving end. It should be identified, so thanks to those that chose not to let it slip by.

Thanks for confirming what I saw too Kev.
Opinions on these topics are always a "keenly contested discussion" should we say and it had no place on the original posters thread.

But yes, this topic was diverted, it was done so very calculatively and indeed divisively, with only one intent.
The intent, was what I could not tolerate.....

ive fished the hawksbury hacking etc after floods and all kids of animals float down
cows roos cats birds galore if it dies it will float
I dont pick them up bury them and say a prayer, if your game poke a hole in them and make em sink
just use a very long pole

I grew up around Brighton and Ramsgate. Spent a lot of time on the water and seen lots of floating animals. Many years ago on Port Hacking we came across a deer floating. Obviously out of the National Park.

GAZZA it happens and when it does, don’t always look on the dark side and believe that someone has caused the problem. Taking these views will eventually cause you ill-health.

With the last day of the year upon us it time for me to reflect as I sit here and look out the window and see the botanical wonderland that has been created on our property over the last 20 years…particularly awesome are some of the 40m high forest giants that me and the missus and kids initially planted to stop creekbank erosion…but many other areas of our jungle are equally impressive..

Whats probably been most gratifying is the amount of wildlife that has also moved in to our 15 acre block…(except wildpigs and the pesky scrub turkeys)..close behind is the contact with regular customers that have created their own pieces of paradise with some of the hundreds of thousands of trees and plants we have personally propagated and sent to many areas from the Torres straights in the north to Melbourne in the south and across to the gulf and Darwin in the west..

It has also been heart-warming to share this journey with more than a couple of hundred teenagers and young adults that we have hosted in our home for periods of up to 4 months through various hosting and homestay programs ..people from all over the world including indigenous folk from North , Central and South America ,the Caribbean and Africa, people from many asian and European countrys…as well as many different religions..

Living in a remote small town it was important for us to expose our kids to many different views and cultures of the world as we could…the missus and I travelled the world widely when younger but our kids have not and grew up in a small provincially minded town…. Having people living with us from many different backgrounds and countries we have learnt a lot about the world and different cultures and been able to share our knowledge of all things plants,fishing ,sustainability and creating a environment that a family can subsist off in harmony with nature and the critters..

Unfortunately with the increase in forums and social media we have seen a big rise in the Keyboard Warrior ,that in conjunction with others of their ilk, can now find a haven to sit around having a circle jerk and protesting about all manner of things ..this breed of new attention seeking activists hiding behind a pseudonym essentially do absolutely NOTHING but blow hot air, create division and get off on bullying others for having a different opinion….

Its just a shame these people with their outspoken and often misplaced activism dont put their energy into actually making a difference rather than just blabbing on about it and trying to bring down folk that are actually trying to make a difference…but sadly those with biggest mouths get all the attention and most often contribute the least…

And Gazza ..you are welcome to Pm but please don’t blame me for the deeds of centuries ago..almost evry day ofmy life is involved with making the environment a better place for all.... and don’t let an oxygen thief egg you on to fight “racists and rednecks” when they haven’t done a damn thing for any aboriginal or environmental cause I would bet…

Anyway rather than just talk about it I just have to take a walk in my jungle garden to see how to make a real difference to the environment and create a haven for all the critters….If someone gets offended by my love for the environment and all the critters in it then tough titties…I don’t care what colour you are but I will always believe that as far as helpless animals are concerned there is a big difference between right and wrong…

Sorry for the long winded post and I'm not trying to prove I am any better than anyone else. I am just on a different journey than most because I don't like whats happening to our fragile planet....I don't see myself as a racist and I really dislike being slandered by a keyboard warrior..I do acknowledge that I do piss some people off with my straight talk and lack of PC nous....but for that i don't apologise.

Anyway happy new year to all….and hopefully we can learn thats its Ok for people to have different opinions and still work together for a better planet..

This is a little barra and native fish pond this “racist and reckneck” created in one corner of our previously degraded and overcleared ex cane farm with some greatly appreciated physical input from an excavator and a few strong guys both black and white...its always gives me a sense of peace and fulfilment to sit here away from the worries of the world..
