Thanks for answering my question, Ralph. I didn't expect anything more than a Freislerian tirade from Cheryl, and I cant say that I have been disappointed.

As for opposing immigration being the mark of a racist, I can only wonder about the justification for such a remark.

The “scenic cash cow” over which the growth merchants salivate is in reality a huge mound of growing, toxic waste including heavy metals, lead, hydrocarbons, asbestos, pesticides, dioxins and putrescible wastes being dumped in what was once Australia’s healthy ecosystems.

The increase in Australia’s population has seen the oceans so polluted from human faeces that now all states supply “biosolids” for use on commercial food crops. It’s the “black gold,” the ultimate growth industry for the pro-population freaks!

Human faeces is used on plantation forests and sold as “bio-organic” manure and compost at nurseries. All the run-offs end up in our rivers anyway - and possibly a good reason (apart from over-exploitation by the greed merchants) why the UWA Marine Futures Project team advised last year: “We have 750 hours of footage from the Abrolhos to Cape Naturalist and we saw only 43 dhufish in 750 hours.”

Back to the "black gold" containing urine, faeces, menstrual blood, hair, fingernails, vomit, dead skin cells, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, soaps, shampoos, solvents, pesticides, household cleansers and hospital waste.

Sewage sludge, the viscous brown gunk left over when wastewater is treated, is more than just poop: it’s an odiferous smoothie of everything we pour down the drain. There are pathogens; there are heavy metals. PCBs, dioxins, DDT, asbestos, parasitic worms, radioactive material—all have been found in sludge.

Despite pre-treatment programmes that prevent some of the most noxious stuff from entering the public sewers, sludge can include so many toxins that the US Clean Water Act lists it as a “pollutant.”

And if anyone believes the corporate controlled, sycophantic regulators in this nation are protecting the interests of the public or if they even think that Australia's regulators are competent, then they'd have to be silly moos:

Nearly twenty two million humans all discharging approximately 21 kilograms of sewage per year(though I think Cheryl's et al would exceed that amount?) and rising rapidly. With the full of "it," eco-illiterate growth merchants in control, this nation will soon be drinking "black gold" leftovers.

Protagoras says "this nation will soon be drinking "black gold" leftovers"

Parts of the nation already are......

"Treated sewage is on tap

Recycled effluent is already in Sydney's drinking water system, undercutting the State Government's claim that people will not drink it because of health fears, water experts say.

When a toilet is flushed or a washing machine drained in Katoomba the water eventually makes its way to taps in Richmond and Windsor, says a former Sydney Water executive, Charles Essery.

Treated sewage from Goulburn and Lithgow also ends up in Sydney's water catchment, he said, adding that the release of treated effluent was licensed by the Environment Protection Authority.

The Hawkesbury's 52,000 residents have for years been drinking a mix of treated effluent, rainwater and water from the Hawkesbury River.

"Everyone thinks Warragamba Dam is what we would class as virgin water," Dr Essery said. He is one of a number of water experts taking part in a three-month investigation into Sydney's water shortage conducted by Foxtel's The Weather Channel ."What people don't know is that sewage and stormwater from Goulburn and Lithgow go into the various rivers that feed Warragamba Dam so that everyone in Sydney drinks water that has either passed through someone else's body or gone through the streets of those places."

Hi Fester, I have confronted the Wilderness Society and Resistance reps on this one......their definition of a racist is anybody who opposes open borders( "do they want 200 million overnight?") .

Best regards, Ralph

Those with a genuine interest in population dynamics might find the following reference to trends in the Japanese population of interest. Obviously, we do not need to resort to eugenics, as some have suggested, just a reduction in immigration will do the trick.

The soiled greens having obviously lost the ridiculously expensive publicly financed "reduce CO2-global warming campaign" on the solar facts,and now,the devastatingly cold weather unfortunately arrives in full force, move to stage two - population control. With a step to the left,these miscreants fall off the round table clinging to their sauce bottle,the public teat! No honesty or truth with these succulents,only publicly funded policy schemes dressing up fear to reduce human endeavour, scientific and technological advancement. They can't afford the nimbin or cape tribulation trip again as their are too many people, so I suggest the lost green baggage,finance their own exodus in the direction of the nearest darkroom and medicate until they see the light on the hill.
