Congratulations Mr Trump, Climate deniers, idiots and non scientific people !!

This first Canary is dead, likely massive impact on Marine species diversity i the region. One that took hundreds of millions of year to evolve .... Well done silly HUMANS !
SAD BUT very very correct

I am sure the Turtles which use Green Island as their main hatching ground will LOVE no Coral

Even the dumbest of the dumb can work out some things.

Its wonderful .... Resident Dump ... whoops President Trump. Dumb Donald is 0% still alive ? You had a hunch !! World leader ... what an idiot along with Pauline and the Liberal party policies.

Sorry but the above ... denial of any issue via LNP ... given Green Island NOW in 2019 ... just surveyed HAD NO HARD CORALS LEFT .... I am not sure WHAT will wake these climate idiots UP. Green Island has been under survey because its one of the ONLY turtle Hatcheries for one species of Turtles ...

It’s easy to see why Green Island Cairns has been on the tourist map for over 100 years – first as a basic lodge (grass huts) for passing fishermen and then as an opportunity for day-trippers to experience the reef first-hand.

In fact Green Island has a long list of firsts:

  • 1st tourist destination on the Great Barrier Reef – 1880s
  • 1st protected coral cay – 1937
  • 1st glass bottom boat experience – 1948
  • 1st underwater observatory – 1954
  • 1st island movie theatre (featuring underwater footage) – 1961
  • 1st crocodile exhibit on a sand cay – 1964

NEW FIRST ... NO CORAL ... welcome to climate change ... I note now in the link directly above ... turtle heaven ... is that WITH or WITHOUT Coral ? ... is it heaven or is it hell in 2019 ?

Is that a climate change joke?

Sadly, nope. I don't think anyone cares about that topic other than a very few like you and me.

The climate change joke was that Pauline pee'd when she went for a swim on the Reef and 6 Reefs now dead. Likely more over time. Until something happens to you, often, its really an aside. I am wondering and left wondering at times.

what lies frozen for a million years beneath the ice, post 2050 will ... change your kids lives totally.

Elections are about the only time we get to vote, and its pretty clear the divide.
 
Whats the story with aljazeera and one nation?

The nra scandal fair enough, but now a second leak to do maximum damage before the election.
Seems like a great way of destroying a political opponent. And from a foreign mob.
I wonder what happened behind the scenes and who else was involved?

Pauline's spokesperson made yet another ... confusing video .... he was meant to be speaking about the video of the candidate inside the strip club from One Nation ... but is well ... upset and talks about another video !!



It is better than the One Nation candidate at the strip club .... and him quitting after it.
 
Pauline was all over the shop. Her righthand man just fell on his sword (and possibly into a stripper). He is stuck on the ballot as well and technically could still win the seat.

Not the first time one nation has had a political hit job done on them. Not a fan but we have some very shady dealings going on in oz politics and media.

Lucky for Rudd as well ehh.

Entropy has ruled Australian politics for too long.
Voter enthalpy might restore the balance.
But as the Senate couldn't spell "physics" to save itself we will be left with a Parliament riddled with constant Plancking.
 
Hi from Helsinki, how is the polling going?
There isn't a murmer about the Australian elections, on BBC, CNN or European news and here is me thinking we are changing the World in Australia.lol

Paul Murray: When it came to actually debating Scott Morrison won out against Bill Shorten



And the winner is...Picture: Illustration: Don Lindsay


Bill Shorten’s best tactic going into last night’s leaders’ debate was to remain a small target while looking as prime ministerial as possible.

Unfortunately for him, Scott Morrison didn’t play by those rules. He broke away from the restrictive format and assumed the role of disrupter-in-chief from the very first question.

And Shorten didn’t like it. He tried to keep to his script, but when Morrison kept interrupting and picking him up on points, he was reduced to “yeah, yeah” as a response.

It’s fair to say that neither leader offered Australians much to inspire them about our future.

But in simple debating terms, Morrison did him over. The Prime Minister wanted to turn it into a scrap and to the extent that he did, he came out the best.

These debates rarely, if ever in Australia, settle important matters. The expectation is always higher than the delivery.

But they do play a role in engaging voters in the campaign issues and that was an important function on the first day of early polling, with the election still three weeks away. More...
 
How to lose a seat in an election before you start.
Federal election 2019: Liberal candidate for Isaacs Jeremy Hearn to be dumped after anti-Islamic comments

The Victorian Liberal Party will dump Jeremy Hearn as its candidate for the seat of Isaacs, after a conspiracy-laden anti-Muslim rant he posted online last year.

Key points:
  • Jeremy Hearn had previously suggested Muslim Australians were hiding their true intentions
  • He has since apologised, describing his comments as "not right"
  • The Victorian branch of the Liberal Party is moving to disendorse Mr Hearn this morning

In a statement, a spokesman for the party said the administrative committee was moving to cancel Mr Hearn's endorsement this morning.

The Liberal hopeful's comments included several suggestions Muslim Australians were hiding their true intentions, which he said were to overthrow the Australian Government and introduce Sharia law.

Victorian Liberals are privately furious with the organisational wing for failing to vet Mr Hearn properly and say he is emblematic of the factional war that has deeply divided the party.

Mr Hearn is associated with figures on the religious right, who have been accused of stacking Liberal branches with Mormons and conservative

The internet never forgets. No doubt there will be other candidates (from all parties) who look dumb/nasty/dodgy/whatever.

Not a bad effort.

I think they are getting a bit too radical Lefty for my liking these days but they are better than the LNP or PHON or (FFS) Clive Palmer.

He must have taken his meds today. He oscillates from seeming to be (almost) reasonable, to certifiable. But then there are the rest of them who should be in straightjackets and heavily sedated...
