Re: AVATAR
If you liked the movie, please have a look at my review here and comment: http://candobetter.org/node/1762 I liked it too. I thought it was politically significant. I know this is way off the track but AVATAR is the best movie. Go and see it. If you like forests, plants, trees and living sustainably...

Peter Spencer has been presented in the media as if he is wanting to clear his land, as in as in "Peter Spencer has had most of his land (Shannons Flats in NSW, near Canberra) locked up by native vegetation laws." This won't get him sympathy from the wider public. There is nothing in there about wid...

names of climate change refugees
Colin, I sense some sarcasm in this post and a recent one about yaorts in Frankston. It is really not necessary. Please tell me what the problem is in a straightforward way. Is it to do with the concept of climate change or causes of climate change? Is it to do with forestry? Or something else. With...

Slavery
Thanks Shirley. Yes, it's frightening.
And people have known about this kind of slavery since time immemorial.
Did you know that relocalisation is really what 'anarchism' is about?
All these movements to take back power get demonised, one after another.
regards,
Sheila Newman

NSF in central Australian rangelands?
What is Peter Andrews' take on flat, degraded arid rangelands in places like Charleville and Longreach in Queensland? I was talking to someone in the area who was saying how in principle NSF would work, but he seemed to be implying that the problems of slow-flowing irregular rivers, aridity, irregul...

Firestick farming and Back from the Brink
I just read the extract posted on Allens books on line from Peter Andrew's second book. I have not read the second book - I am having trouble finding a copy. However I am responding to P.

Big agribusiness and water - crucial enquiry April 14 - batt
Please pass on. Our current farmers, especially irrigators, may have bad practices, but big agribusiness gives me the chills and the government/corporate support for the new pipeline is particularly scary.
