I can’t say shit about my full set of motivations without breaking NDAs and doxxing myself unfortunately.
But Australia is worse off environmentally than the public knows. And so many of us that worked in environmental analysis for big engineering firms, which are contracted by government, defence and so on, are gagged.
When people try to blow the whistle, they are put into lengthy court battles which they never win.
I worked on a project a few years ago around water theft, one of the other attached contractors had an analyst go to the media, blowing the lid off the scope of the issue. I have no idea what happened to her exactly, but I know they buried her in court.
I’m moving to Canada, but more to be with friends, and spend the rest of my thirties and onwards enjoying my life. My twenties were brutal, I’m 35 and I’ve never had a holiday. I’ve been an activist for twenty years in Aus as well, this referendum and the result are painful.
This, for instance, is in actuality a much more pressing issue than this 2017 article portrays.
Fuck, imagine being this stupid.
Imagine me typing
And still typing that dogshit-brained shit.
What a perfect example of why I’m moving. What a perfect example of vapid Aussie exceptionalism.
