A new study has found a clear link between air pollution exposure and the risk of ending up in hospital. It's a battle Julia Ovens knows only too well.
Where is the honest government ad on this topic? Clean air? Nah go fuck yourself Australia!
From the W.A. experience:
The law has nothing to prevent people who smoulder green wood and literally burn plastic rubbish in their wood heaters.
Nothing.
Maybe the local council will offer to drop a pamphlet off at their house if they get enough complaints from neighbors.
Cunts living in fucking 350sqm lots 5km from the CBD with wood heaters... seriously.
They should only be allowed on 5hectare + properties in order to keep them away from dense population and to simply dilute the level of pollution they put out.
IMO the tax policies that encouraged people in to using diesel utes / SUVs as mum taxis and urban commuter vehicles was a huge fuck up by the federal government. It will only cost the tax payer more over time due to having to pay for more insurance / medicare to cover all the health issues it caused. The auto manufactures should be made to fucking pay for it.
Go look on any 4wd related social media page. Dickheads there will be jerking themselves off in delight that their child squasher mobile with no functioning diesel emission controls is fucking children right in the lungs. Whether it's because they have deleted all of the emission controls, or they are driving some ancient thing that never had it to start with they shouldn't even be on the road in cities.
In W.A. we also have the DBCA (department for burning cute animals).
Every time the wind is blowing towards major population centers they set fire to huge swathes of forest 10s of km from where anyone actually lives in order to hit some made up quota of "hazard reduction burning". There is no scientific consensus for this method and a growing amount of evidence against this method.
@Zagorath Yes...and...? I'm not dismissing the concerns. On a clear day, you need to be well clear of any built-up area, to breathe reasonably liveable air! I wonder how anyone lived as long as they did in London of the 1800s, or the Industrial North?
Renewables like solar and wind, create pullution in their manufacture, but not in their use. Stop voting for Fossil Fools, and make the current Feds do the job they promised to rein in carbon pullution.
