You're spot on about the lack of future planning. Every side of politics and economics seems to only think a year or two in front of their face.

The majority of the country is actually for marriage equality, so Abbott's not representative of the nation. The fact that he refuses to budge on the issue despite his own sister wanting to get married to her girlfriend is, in my humble opinion, quite revolting.

Environment wise, at least here in Victoria, huge amounts of old growth forest, which a lot of native animals need to survive, (young trees don't have enough hollows for them to shelter in and raise young) is being chopped down just to sell as cheap woodchips to Japan. 

Speaking of which, apparently some of our redback spiders stowed away in woodchips and became a pest there, haha.


I reckon he will change his mind, it was just to get in to government. There is still alot of old generation who are opposed to it. Anyhow we shall see.

Yer I live in Victoria now, in the CBD lol. Didn't realise they where chopping trees for woodchips, figured they be for building homes with. As for the red backs i'm sure some crazy japanese resurant wil find a way to eat the poison, just enough to give you a tingle and not enough to kill you, kind of liek the blow fish haha.
