Finally got to read some of it.
So you are a card carrying Animals Australia advocate who is nothing but a latte sipping urbanite from Melbourne who is taking vegan/ vegetarianism into politics and corrupting it to bring down a billion dollar export industry at a time when Australia needs every export dollar it can muster? Well done.
You sir are what is wrong with this country. Safe in your urban environment, immune to the water rations and devastation wrought by drought , complaining bitterly that the Government Services have to cut fire breaks to save homes and people and livestock during the Ash Wednesday and Black Saturday fires, happy to see our indigenous population suffer and remain in poverty because YOU don't like the fact that they have found a way to be who they are mustering and running a cattle station for export livestock which enables them to contribute and be a part of the mainstream Australian economy.
YOUR ethics disgust me! How DARE you demean the countless vegan/ vegetarians who chose this life-style for medical or personal preference. How DARE you politicise this choice that would see billions of dollars wiped off our GDP. No. YOU are a political animal and as such will find your answer from the Australian people in September.
It has NEVER occurred to you that IF people could have sown crops in this tiny little spot know as "the Gippsland" they would have done so, instead of turning into pasture land? Has it occurred to you that IF you feel so anxious to obtain vegetarian nirvana that perhaps you might consider creating your own garden? And don't give me that pathetic whine that you live in an apartment block...our own Summer Queen lives in similar conditions and is able to supplement her vegetable stock with balcony planting and she has a much shorter growing cycle than we do here in Australia.
Humans are fundamentally flawed and so is life in general.
Are you going to insist that you live in your little bubble of nirvana? Or are you going to get out and see the real world and stop being fed a myth? Are you content to swallow second hand information or are you going to get off that fat behind of yours (metaphorically speaking) and go and see for yourself just what happens?
