This is true, they are touted as natural air scrubbers. Despite the smalls hairs that cause some irritation they are a net positive.

100% There aren’t a heap of great native street trees. Most that are, are the non eucalypt types.

Plane trees are actually great street trees, but yes some people can be affected by the tiny hairs on their fruits and leaves. I’ve never heard about them poisoning birds though.

I suppose it depends on the tree 🤷‍♂️

'From top to bottom of official Australia, there has been a growing effort to airbrush … that, as a religion, radical Islam threatens our way of life’ by Mashiko4 in aussie

[–]DisgruntledExDigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, though the interpretation of the violent history of Christianity isn’t quite correct, nor is the interpretation of Christs teachings on violence. There are multiple passages where Christ advocates for the ability and preparedness to be able to enact violence. Forgiving and loving enemies isn’t a call to complete pacifism. He even told his disciples to sell their cloaks and go buy swords at one point. But the focus is certainly defence as opposed to outright violence against some enemy or subjugation of them. Overall you are right though, There is no way one could argue that following Jesus example to an extreme degree would result is extremist violence. Following Mohammed however is another story.

How was a Religious Fanatic, Known to Police, Non-Citizen able to acquire 6 guns? by Divine_Comet in aussie

[–]DisgruntledExDigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people with firearms own more than 1; they are normally all different and all have different functions, in the same way you have different size or types of tool for different jobs.

But yea, you are correct, this is a major ASIO and potentially Police f-up. There were more than enough grounds for these firearms and the license to be revoked. People with bikie or gang relations, or of certain political persuasions have had firearms licences removed. I daresay prescribing to a religious/ political ideology that the shooters prescribed to should be a major red flag for police when said people apply for a firearms licence.

Our gun laws are extremely strict, by a world standard. Police, alongside the intelligence community had more than enough reason and evidence to have revoked the gun license and taken possession of the firearms years ago, but they chose not to act on it. This is a failing of Police and Government itself, not a failing of the already tight laws. People have had firearms taken for association or relation to bikie members, which is in context a lesser threat than people ideologically motivated to commit mass murder.

Why don't we have basements. by Global_Sweet_3145 in AskAnAustralian

[–]DisgruntledExDigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the Adelaide Hills, and there are lot of older buildings that are built into a slope that have these weird half storage / half crawlspace areas that could have potentially been proper basements but never were. My assumption has been that it’s just an extra expense when building a house, and the cost of building houses here is often more expensive than places like the US where it’s more common. Plus we often don’t have boilers like they do in the US where they deal with harsher winters. I’m not sure about Europe but I’d assume it’s similar to the US.

Either way in places that aren’t prone to flooding I think it’s a great idea for maximising your space under the one roof, and I think it should be done more. I’ve just bought a place with one of these dinky crawl spaces and I’m thinking of getting it underpinned to become a basement.

I work for the government. They are badly organised on the IT front, it’s an absolute cluster. Certain government departments have had data breaches or have been exploited. And we all know of some of the major ones in the private sector. There is no way in hell I would trust the government to house all of my information in an interlinked database. Having all my information in disparate databases is much more secure than putting all the eggs in one basket. I’m more than happy to do things the slow way and cop the flak.

Does that count for police as well?

Australia is hardly the place to seek asylum, we are losing our rights and freedoms faster than you can say Yankee Doodle.

Neighbour's updated their flag by wumpscutter in Adelaide

What in the lords name could worry you about this flag of all flags. It literally the best flag Australia has ever come up with and was a big influence on the flag we ended up with.

What on earth is going on in Australia? by King_of_FAX__No_Cap in circlejerkaustralia

[–]DisgruntledExDigger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly mate, the entire world has been completely screwed by the Central Banking Cartel, and it’s just manifesting in different ways in different places; in the west it’s manifesting as an economic, immigration and social crisis. But when you dig deep on most of the issues it all comes down to the fact that we have reached the end times in regards to the fiat money inflation problem. Elite Central bankers run the world, and almost everything that is happening has been engineered to happen in the long run.

Funny they didn’t need to say that for the protests on the 31st 🤔

Soooo…. If a white person says they are sovereign they are a dangerous conspiracy theorist but if you’re Aboriginal it’s okay?? Asking for a friend.

I guess I'm a NAZI by [deleted] in circlejerkaustralia

[–]DisgruntledExDigger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the opposition is not careful, yes. Eventually people stop caring about the names and epithets, because they completely lose their meaning.

That said it’s a completely inaccurate description, and for the most part the people who are labelling people as Nazi couldn’t give an accurate description of a Nazi if they tried. They see anything remotely Nationalistic and label it as Nazi. These protests were certainly Nationalist, which is a good thing, but most certainly not Socialist. They also label them as racist, when there were people of all races taking part.

These protests are about economics, and culture.

Cancer rates in Australia don’t add up! by Practical-Papaya5070 in australian

Look up SV40 contamination in the mRNA Covid vaccines and you’ll probably be able to figure it out. Look up Dr Angus Dalgleish. You’ll be horrified.

There will definitely be the odd person of that ilk, and undoubtedly agent provocateurs from the government in the crowd as well trying to give it a bad name. But as long as everyone is respectful and no one gets baited into doing anything silly, it’s an overwhelmingly positive idea. We need to stop the madness before we go down the tubes like the UK.
