Karl, what a great cartoon!  Is there a secret tunnel to Parliament House?

  I can’t get over this little hiccup in history called Tasmanian Times!  The good stuff that flows through it!  In fact, we are very rich here in Tas.  We have TAP, a true community group if ever there was one, a green political party, the Wilderness Society, we have the resistance fighters in the bush, we have this “F…in’ useless” rag called Tasmanian Times ... I mean, what use is an online newpaper that allows everybody to contribute?  You can’t even ‘wipe your arse’ with it!  At least the good old Examiner publishes a paper copy which you could use if you run out of Sorbent ...

  In fact, even in our adversity, the positives are the community responses, in all its flowerings, the rallies, the writings, the cartoons, the songs, the friendships, the learning, the work, the commitments:  it is these things that are the positives.  The positive legacy that curiously is the product of the crappy dominant media, the product of the wretched dominant political parties, of the wretched John Gay and his company and all his wretched apparatchiks, henchmen, imitators, sycophants, apologists, collaborators, conspirators…

Happy Australia Day, Karl!

Re the ‘remove the island’s population’ speech bubble: isn’t that proposal more likely to come from single-issuers who value trees much more than people, and from those who want fewer people, but haven’t, so far, set an example by sacrificing themselves for their principles?

Leonard C#2:
You sound so narrow focused on “trees” as (!) used to cry out on this site.
Forests and catchments are not just trees, just like groups of artificial monocultures are not forests, no matter how long the propaganda units of that industry try to spin it.
Brand Tasmania and Tourism Tasmania and the so called clean green, clever an kind image of our Island and the two elite Breweries in this State, they all rely on healthy catchments and healthy forested landscapes, not just trees. Wake up, Tasmania is a unique place but still the same mistakes that happened somewhere else before getting repeated.
The terrible, crippling droughts around the world have their origin in mismanagemnt. That’s why we will keep calling for restoration management, setting an example here in Tasmania for others to aim for.
“Doing well, by doing things well.”
More Change is in the wind, just try be part of it.

Well done Karl, that picture put things into prospective, my mates in far away places will understand that this looks like an unsustainable, unprofitable and unhealthy environment in the underground bunker…
Just frankly speaking ….
