In short
Jindalee Road Wines and its former manager stole 365 megalitres of water by bypassing meters and illegally tapping into an irrigation pipeline.
Their combined financial penalty dropped from $887,500 to $558,000 on appeal.
I want you to imagine for a moment what would happen to you or I if we stole, say, $300,000 from an armoured car... Imagine if instead it was an indigenous youth in rural NT... And then there's this:

Since the psuedo-ceasefire on 10 October, 6,500 tonnes of aid have been turned back from Gaza by Israeli authorities.

It’s ‘ethnic-cleansing’ by starvation and healthcare denial. It’s imperialism and colonialism and barbarity.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

The reason theists talk in terms of moral standards is that they feel this position favors whatever god claim they happen to subscribe to.

Otherwise, they would be talking about empathy and weighing the consequences of our actions with regard to others.
