    Apparently the special red paint on the bottom of every single boat is toxic to the ocean. Also, lots of boats have their exhaust systems pumped directly into the ocean.

    Also, I heard that if you dumped a lot of iron dust into the ocean it would create algae blooms and eventually help it take up more carbon. So whilst it would initially be destabilising it could do good in the long term.

    One of the people I mentioned was literally protesting the genocide dumb ass. See this is the thing Australians have no clue who any famous or legendary aboriginal people are.

    A M Fernando was literally say “these skeletons are all that you’ve left of my people”… And you think learning about that is “forgetting it’s a day of death and suffering”.

    Fuckin Australians on Australia day are the fucking worst.

    Nah, it’s about getting the sympathetic guilt of white leftists out in one day so they can still feel like good people.

    They have to have the day be negative for that.

    Celebrate and teach about actual Indigenous figures and history? Nah, you won’t find support for that here.

    You’ll find support for reproducing the existing culture. “More of the same” they’ll say whilst claiming to be progressives… Progress to what? They don’t have the slightest clue, and refuse to think about it.

    They’re not posts “about aboriginal people”. They’re posts about Australia day.

    It should be a day to celebrate indigenous people and indigenous history, from Tullamareena for burning down Melbourne jail, to A. M. Fernando for protesting covered in skeletons outside of Buckingham Palace.

    I think Australia Day is used to celebrate the wrong things, and I’ll downvote posts I think do that. That’s my business and you’re not the fucking moral police of me cunt face.

    That’s not the criteria, you’ve modified it, the actual criteria are:

    • The statement is made publicly
    • A member of the group engages in conduct intending to either: promote or incite hatred of another person or persons because of their race, colour or national ethnic origin; or disseminate ideas of superiority over or hatred of another person or group of persons because of their race, colour or national ethnic origin*
    • A judge finds it reasonable for a person in Australia of the targeted race, colour or national ethnic origin, to be intimidated or feel threatened by the statement.

    What’s more these aren’t legal criteria of arrest, because the racial vilification section DID NOT PASS, these are the internal criteria for ASIO to use when classifying hate groups.

    Hate Groups then have a right to contest ASIOs determination in the courts.

    All the law is saying is that members of a designated hate group can’t threaten Australians with violence based on their national ethnic origin.

    You (who I assume arent part of a designated hate group) can say Israelis connected to the bombing of innocence civilians deserve to be beaten and killed. Israel is a nation, not an ethnicity.

    But the Racial Vilification section didn’t pass anyways, and I’m speaking as an individual (not a designated hate group) so I can’t be charged as an individual for what I’ve said.

    It’s entirely legal to criticise and even be hateful about Israel in Australia. You’ll not find anyone of any merit claiming otherwise. Hence the article I provided.

    P.S Australia doesn’t even have any designated hate groups yet. Not even the Nazis have been classified that way yet.
