Quote from: "Bricktop"I think Caskur is misrepresenting reality.



Agriculturalists require permission to clear land. Trees are heavily protected, even in domestic gardens. All commercially harvested timber must be renewable.



However, twas not always thus, and it is true that vast tracts of bushland were brutally raped by farmers in the early 20th century, never to recover.

That sounds more like it.

He is only partially right, he runs around with blinkers on.... what people are allowed to do and what they do, are two different things..... Australia is a country FULL of greed and corruption.



Here is a prick clearing crown land without persmission. Do you think this prick is the only one?

I'm sure it happens here too, but there would be fines and I would imagine the person would have to replant what they illegally cut down.

Once virgin land is gone, it cannot be replaced BECAUSE, the smaller and just as important native bushes, shrubs, and ground covers (grasses) are equally as important as they provide food for native animals birds and insects. To farmers, everything not farm related is vermin...



I no longer have time for farmers... There are too many farms.

I worked in Queensland. While their land reclamation efforts are behind ours, they seem to be following in our footsteps. There upstream oil and gas sector is not as developed as ours is.

A Willie Wagtail down on Swan River foreshore. I won't sign it or downsize it as I get lossy but this sweet little bird was following my feet. Apparently they do that as walking over the grassy area disturbs insects.

Ours are also very noisy. And territorial sometimes. They've been known to attack pedestrians and cyclists on the head with their beaks during some seasons. I think it's during mating season but I could be wrong.
Blahhhhhh...

Male magpies are solid black and white... Females are mottled. These two are males.
