Ranger filth Only in Australia:
1) put a uranium mine ("Ranger") in a world heritage area
2) connect a waste pipe to a drinking water pipe
12 workers drank 3 or 4 litres of water ..which contained 400 times the legal limit of uranium...and another cocktail of acids."
Now management has abandoned them, but resumed work at the mine
(141 spills and safety breaches over 2 years)

Thinking about pristine wilderness, streams flowing over
big white stones, clear air, silence...
Every ad for a motorcar seems now to show it in a lovely landscape.

In AUS & Aotearoa is an honorable profession to carry
a powerful gun into the wilds, to reduce feral introduced mammals.

May I encourage,incite, and generally call for the murder
of any driver who is seen in such landscapes?

May any hunter with a powerful rifle, please
shatter the skull of any driver who intrudes into the wilderness.
This includes 4WD,SUV,skimobile, jetski at al.

May advertising staff who produce these obscene ads
have their children's skulls crushed in driveways by daffy drivers
