I'm cynical but passionate and optimistic about the future. I'm into landscape fauna ecology especially in the arid and semi arid zones. 😁 PS not a huge fan of cat and puppy photos.

This is what happens when those future eaters from the resource sector pour millions into universities. It feathers the nest of the chancellery and they will not give it up regardless of the facts, evidence, and the science.

This is a complex issue that will not be solved by not being able to explore at this moment in time (and much more likely if the current federal environmental legislation passes in its current form).

The stupidity of people who just do not understand the problems. Water has always been the key in the WA Goldfields, decimated by +100 yrs of mining, agriculture, associated wasteful water use. The region is already stressed and in poor condition, yet they want to use more of less - just a moronocy.

'Water is key': Spud King open to growing Kalgoorlie produce
The opening of a new supermarket franchise in one of Australia's biggest inland cities has revived memories from the past when Kalgoorlie-Boulder was home to at least 35 market gardens, run mostly by European migrant families.

After a few decades as an ecologist, with >60% (~20yrs) spent in the field undertaking terrestrial vert fauna surveys, my biggest take-aways inc:
1. You don't know everything,
2.You will forever keep learning,
3. Indigenous cultural knowledge = landscape ecology = awareness,
4 awareness = knowledge.

Extremely well put. Science is rarely at fault, but the anti-science bullshit train is always at fault, and always wrong.
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Anyone in WA who has caught the Gina Rinehart ads touting the Roy Hill/Atlas Iron merger you will note stark similarities with the Trump PR strategy. She's painted as a patriot, a friend of the people - neither of which are true. She buys her loyalty and the conga line of sycophants to push the lie.

Nice idea, but if there's a likelihood of peaceful transition to the other side, there will be a flurry of pardons from the fat-man, emigrations of culprits, and the new govt will deflect with "we want to unite this country" theme because some of their peeps may be implicated in any investigations.
