Galahs are Awesome

Kieran — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 06:50:42 +0000

Twenty or thirty galahs were perched in a tree above me, Willow Park, Boxing Day. I took a bunch of snaps, only these two really worked. Notice how they’re holding there wings out from their body, it was a hot day, and I’ve often seen galahs do this, presumably in order to catch a breeze.

Dennis Owns the Letters Page!

Kieran — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:24:29 +0000

Well not quite, but the Border Mail has, two days in a row, published a letter from my fellow Greens candidate Dennis Black.

Only one letter seems to have made it to the Border Mail’s ever incomplete website, it addresses some of the climate change “skeptics” (ie delusionists) who have appeared on the Letter’s page recently.

The planet has reached the point where our business-as-usual approach is not a viable option to protect ourselves and the other species that are our fellow travellers.

“We told you so” 10 years down the track will not be much consolation. Serious, effective action is essential now.

Sums up the problem for us perfectly. We don’t want to be right. We don’t want climate change to be real, we don’t want to be sitting here in ten years saying “well, told ya so”.

We need effective action now, from all institutions, all levels of government, and all members of society. We need effective action, not denial, if we are to secure a future for humanity on planet Earth.

I hope that my passion and concern on this issue came across at this mornings Chamber of Commerce breakfast. In possibly the last function for the campaign, Dennis and I once again confronted the wall of silence and tried to raise the issue of climate change.

I only hope that Dennis’s letters are evidence of us making the odd crack in that wall.
