I just listened to old Glen Lazarus give a bloody fucken brilliant speech in the Senate on how governments are flogging off our cattle properties as fast as they can. As Lazarus said it is only a matter of time before we will have to import processed meat products for the first fucken time in our history. Yeah and you can bet your last dollar imported beef won't be cheap, not that it is fucken cheap now but it will be one hell of a lot dearer. Yeah I reckon some bastard with an eye on making some serious money should start creating some recipes with flying fox, dingoes, wallabies, bandicoots and so on as the meat. I guess we are bloody lucky we have a whole colony of flying foxes here in Cairns to start with.Bob R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-84296292085158679772015-11-25T20:36:26.738+10:002015-11-25T20:36:26.738+10:00Wordsmith = Bullshit artist.

The aquarium seems to be the same, started finally and now stopped. What's this all about?<br />The Tobruk Pool looks like it has a way to go, are there penalties in the contract for over runs?<br />And why are rates so expensive here, I pay much more here for a tiny one bedroom unit than I paid for a house on a block in Perth. About 40% more!<br />We are currently battling with our BC company and long term caretaker and it seems to me that corruption is endemic here, it's a bit of a wake up call even for someone who has spent many years in one of the most corrupt countries in the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862778692955060081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-40388537930895471952015-11-02T20:39:46.759+10:002015-11-02T20:39:46.759+10:00How about we move all the bats to the vicinity of ...How about we move all the bats to the vicinity of Kevin Browns airport?

A new flying fox friendly suburb can be established full of fruit bearing trees, along the streets, in peoples yards etc The suburb should be well away from the rest of the developed suburbs. Then the entire colony of flying foxes can be moved and enticed to remain in this one flying-fox friendly suburb. With certain enticements it can be done. Then, the people who love flying foxes can move in and live right amongst them all. Having a few thousand flying foxes around them all the time, to demonstrate their genuine love and passion for the animal. I would believe that this will resolve the issue.

These are people who choose to live in one of the most environmentally sensitive parts of Australia and they want to be moving, shooting, laser-lighting, cutting down trees, etc to get rid of bats - and anything else in our natural environment that annoys them. Don't these idiots realise; no bats, no rain forest diversity as we know it? Add to that sentiment the anti-crocs idiots too. Move to the concrete jungle if that's all you want, there's enough of it. <br />Some people won't be content until they can sit on their fat arse, virtual reality goggles on controlling their own perfectly constructed world.

With former councillor Peabody's Waterworld supposedly in the offing and an upgrade mooted for Sugar World, there's a real danger of it becoming as much of a White Elephant as the nearby International Tennis Centre, which has been scantily utilised since its inception some half-dozen years back (ostensibly to host a Davis Cup match).Tony Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811119917896735831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-90600192487008284272015-10-29T22:24:30.734+10:002015-10-29T22:24:30.734+10:00Annon 12:30, I agree.

Would these people like a tree full of them living in their own yards? Would they like the incessant noise, the angry shrieking which goes on night and day without a break? Would they like to see bat shit on their houses which dissolves the paint and acts much like acid? How about bat shit all over their car and on friends and neighbours cars? Would they like to pay the cost of having them spray painted? What about when the bats fly accidentally into the house and scare the living shit out of everyone? Have they ever tried to pacify a terrified child who has been scared out of their wits by having a flying fox inside the house? Have they ever had to rush and launder all the bedclothes because a flying fox has shit on it? Then when the flying foxes all gravitate to the nearest fruit tree and stage a great big bloody war over eating the fruit and then scattering the remains all over the neighbourhood? Would these people like having to go into neighbours yards and clean up the mess, all the way up and down their street?<br />Locals tell me that when they were young here in the Far North, anyone could just go out and shoot them as they were classified as vermin. Nobody then had any problems with them.Anti-batnoreply@blogger.com
