    I have a general disdain for cane farmers. I'm sure there's some genuinely good ones but most I've ever spoken to gripe me to no end. One, who was the head of a board I forget, was especially painful to listen to. Complained about the losses over the last decade to the point where he lost money every year. Complained about the low yields and depleted soil and the amount of fertilizer he had to use. Asked him why he didn't rotate or let any of the paddocks rest and go fallow for a season or cover crop, "missing out on profit". Asked him if he had tried diversifying his crop, "yeah, tried pawpaw on a small plot, they grew well and made a good bit of money......was too much hard work." Dude had two sheds, one with two boats, not little tinnie's, proper boats, the other had machinery he owned and would rent out to other farmers. His plan was to retire let his son inherit the sandpit he created because doing something different was "too much hard work."

      @@czarkusa2018 I mean, humans have been doing crop rotation waaaaay before monoculture so you've missed the mark on that one. Arguably a farmer that can't make a profit isn't able to do their job either and an "intellectual" that specialises in say, soil microbiology, that has an understanding of how to keep soil healthy and this plants grown in that soil healthy can only offer that knowledge. It's up to farmers whether they take it or not.

Fast forward a few years he got his degree and was working in the Bowen Basin as a Geo. I would see clips of him on Sky News talking about the Green Shirts Movement, turns out he had transferred his energies from Young LNP into the GSM.
    Fast forward a few more years to 2022, turns out he was running for QLD State Government. He won the seat of Callide. Goes to show that the "smartest" people you know from Uni will end up in State Parliament.

      Yes, food security is of the highest importance but food cannot be grown on a dying planet.
      We can adjust our eating patterns and habits.
      Not all food producers, manufacturers and makers care about the food - it’s just a commodity to acquire wealth.
      Is soft drink such an important “food”? That’s where the majority of sugar is used for.

      Pretty sure all states/territories have Labor in (we don't count Tassie), but there are still electorates (e.g. Bowman, which contains Toondah) that have liberal MPs who would want such developments to go ahead. We should just ban high rises near the beach; Luke Howarth has ruined Redcliffe by cramming it with ugly high-rises without improving the roads to accommodate for the influx of people. Sandgate on the other hand is a beautiful place, despite being right next door. This is because it's had a Labor MP since 1960 (barring 4 years from 2012-2015), and as a result it's not a disgusting shitfest.
      I really hope Plibersek blocks the developers from killing a necessary ecosystem in Toondah; the last thing we need is another series of ugly, uninspiring tourist locations on the water so that upper-middle class mums can drink overpriced coffee and complain about how easy their lives are.

    People living in 2023 acting like "well the wildlife is thriving just like it was when I was a kid" is fucking infuriating because when they were a kid the wildlife had already been decimated. Its called the shifting baseline effect and its a massive problem, especially for things like fishing population regulations. The regulator will think that the population when they started working is 100%, and will then decide that we can afford to lose 20% of that. In actuality, the population when they started working was 2% of what its supposed to be, because theres been several centuries of decline.
    Animal populations have been a fraction of what they're supposed to be for literal centuries. When settlers from Europe arrived in the New World they were shocked to see the sheer abundance of wildlife, because even in pre-industrial times human civilisation had cut the numbers of wildlife so much.
    So none of these people have anything useful to say on the matter, because they're basing it on how much damage it *feels* like has happened. Rather than on how much has actually happened.

You're dealing with generations of indoctrination. You see the strangest things in these communities - Healthcare workers supporting the Morrison government, after they promised to strip the healthcare industry. Farmers, who claim to love fishing and crabbing, against conserving the exact hobbies they claim to love. People who work in the mining industry being against unions improving safety. It's a battle to even try to talk to these people. Any dialogue that doesn't meet their tiny world view is shut down faster than a sugar mill after an inch of rain.

    The thing is sugarcane is actually the lesser evil. All the other crop types that are able to be grown in the harsh climate of NQ, and remain financially viable require a lot more fertiliser and chemicals compared to sugarcane eg. bananas, papaya, capsicum, melons, pumpkins - which are all grown up here but on a much smaller scale. Sugar cane grown well with a legume crop rotation during the fallow period is likely one of the best possible agricultural land uses for the local environment and waterways outside of restoring them to their natural habitat. Sugarcane is the most dominant industry because it is a low risk crop that can grow on some of our marginal soils and can still be harvested after a cyclone or flood which we experience yearly (floods at least). Yes there are always cowboys no matter what the industry is, but there are plenty doing the right thing, you just dont hear them speak up as much. Land values up here are going through the roof and at the current rates, it is likely that sugar wont be profitable enough per hectare to pay the cost of the loan, so land use will likely change or you will see a boom in corporate farm expansion. In my opinion both are likely to result in a worse outcome environmentally to the family run farm.

    I guess I'm a dork too (and not just because I've been playing 40k for 30+ years), as when you were talking about coral in aquariums I was like" All the folks I know who try marine tanks are like "I didn't look at the chemistry in the tank for a day and everything died". So I was sceptical of the ability of those trying to save coral in breeding tanks.
    The mangrove is probably a good idea. I keep a tropical aquarium. I'm always told about the chemistry of it and the microbiology I need to maintain in the filter system. Instead I just have a pump that recycles the water fast, _heaps_ of plants and a low stock of fish. It's amazing how having a lot of plants helps correct imbalance before it happens.
    Of course when it comes to the environment, maybe if we stopped mowing down forests, using rivers as sewers and oceans as toilets might be a good thing to. That seems to be completely beyond us though.
