they wont be replacing established trees with same…and if they did, now THAT would be a massive waste of public funds…
even if you had to spend a week with an excavator and greenwaste truck, removing stumps, i still cant see the value rising to 200k…
thats the point though really…if you want to imagine it costing 200k, try and justify it, and spent 200k on ratepayers money to do so…i reckon you could…but if you wanted a contractor to plant 200 trees and remove 200 vandalised young trees (which is what the images refer to-lets face it if it was a 200 year old significant gum, that would be the lead photo…but i am willing to agree im leading with an assumption) im certain it could be done for less
but i digress, whoever did this should be forced to answer for the crimes to public property, and the mentioned cost isnt certified or worth going further into…i was just making a remark…
It’s a headline in New Scientist too. It’s more important stuff (like last week’s Cockatoo news) that shows Australia is clearly the centre of all that is good and great in the world. Can’t think of any newsy thing over the next week that could knock Straya off the front page.
“His radio career was marked by controversies, including comments that the prime minister Julia Gillard had lied and that her late father had “died of shame” as a result. In 2019 he also made comments about the New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern, saying someone should “shove a sock” down her throat.”
No surprise with Jones. They have been looking for the smoking gun for decades and now it looks like they have it. Top lawyers will probably drag it out until the pervert dies.
The book Jonestown was great. Lots of careful insinuations re his behaviour but clearly thought he was bulletproof with his sway and power. He even got away with the London toilet episode.
On the other hand he was a seriously good speaker and motivator and did wonders for charity etc but that doesn’t change the fact he is a pervert.
And I sat next to him on a plane a few years ago (true). He was a fuckwit without even trying to touch me up.
Danger seems to be following you. Shouldn’t you get your arse back to Liverpool for that Christmas do you are hosting? You have an interesting enough life story without following around every shooting around the mean eastern suburbs of Sydney.
The notable thing is that the area is such an unlikely scene for an incident like this.
Of course I’ll be back for my event. Please come along and buy my merch.
I’m not so sure. Plenty of contract killings in the mean eastern subs. I lived two doors down from one shooting - man gunned down on his driveway in Bellevue Hill. It wasn’t even made a big deal of at the time and there has long been a sense that illegal money is welcome.
We’re not really the ES. It was at the end of Crown St, Surry Hills, an area known for gays and gourmands.
The shooter probably flounced off to a Michelin starred restaurant, where he’s hiding out eating lobster with his fabulous friends.
