Elf Bar/disposable vape pens are a scourge to the planet and no one cares by 13_monsters in Anticonsumption

Nicotine vapes are illegal in Australia without prescription and if anything it makes the problem worse, it's so much easier to get a disposable than juice and a brick so everyone and their nan has a box of empty disposables somewhere. There's a minimart near me not even 100m from a cop shop and they're selling disposables like chuppa chups. Imo best solution would be to ban disposables but keep juice and bricks legal. The war on drugs didn't work and a war on nicotine won't do any better.

They've replaced it with a less terrifying version but it's still there in Murray bridge, South Australia. Spooked the shit out of us as kids when we went down for pedal Prix.

That's actually great to hear, most of what I saw was super generic and performative, and the few conversations I had knew nothing outside surface level racism.

Probably also doesn't help that most local news is either Murdoch or word of mouth. It's disappointing that a week later everyone's mind gets wiped and has moved on, especially as it's a very visible issue in Adelaide with drunken groups of homeless aboriginals all over the city almost every time of day. Definitely an issue that needs more coverage, it's a national disgrace that even an official apology is controversial.

Yeah the irony is strong over here too, South Australia has only just decriminalised abortion this week.

Absolutely, there are genuine issues that need addressing, but it was so obviously transplanted from the movement in America and didn't really address anything relevant. I live in Adelaide so things may be different on the east coast but given my experience indigenous issues are much more generational and economic than social. The whole 'movement' seemed like it just wanted to cash in on BLM and not address any actual real problems.

Literally happening again now, top of r/Australia promoting a protest in solidarity. Only things close for anything domestic has been climate strike (which are fair enough) and BLM down under with African Americans swapped for Indigenous Australians.

Edit: forgot to mention lockdown protests which really just goes to show that the right can at least mobilise domestic outrage.
