Times have changed, but sometimes I think we take two steps forward and one step back

Still so much more to do

Think of this👇 next time you refer to a group of women as 'the girls'

Today is the 236th anniversary of The March on Versailles, 1789

A women's march which helped spark the The French Revolution

They were pissed off about the cost of bread

Women couldn't feed their families so they started a revolution

Just sayin'

The October march on Versailles

During the October Days, thousands of Parisians marched on Versailles. Some were demanding action and reform, some had more violent intentions.

This would help rural & regional Australia so much, hemp is ideally suited to Australian conditions

Multiple $billion industries in food, fibre, biofuels, building materials & medicine ripe for the picking

The rest of the world is doing it, why aren't we?

The barrier is the legalisation of cannabis, which causes hemp growers to have to destroy entire crops if the THC levels are too high.

They don't plant it again after such a significant investment of time, money & energy.

Imagine what we could do in Australia if we grew more hemp

3D printed hemp houses

Totally doable, already being done & we're missing the boat

I'm fkn sick of Australia missing the boat, we've gotta stand on our own 2 feet & plot our course

Embrace our potential

If you are giving money &/or support to Advance or other far-Right political groups who are promoting division in the guise of patriotism, then you are feeding the hand that bites you.

I reject any narrative that says that we, the ppl, are powerless

We have 2 powers:

1. Voting power (entirely dependent on rejecting apathy & engaging politically, it's a participation sport)

2. Spending power - never underestimate the collective power of reverse consumerism
