ABC Making up their own news

 Instead of making up stories to attack things ABC staffers don't like,( like their fake news story on 4WD's ; damage to dunes this last week of March 2024 ), we should insist that our broadcaster /investigator find out why a vast bunch of government departments have stuffed up the dunes, the beaches, the swale and the near shore wave zone at Apollo Bay.

just for example carparks , access along the top ( creates erosion) tree tunnels ( create erosion ) but no grass on the dune ,

Excessive drainage through the dune and swale no longer providing stormwater storage , parking and access for the public .

And increasing fill and development of the swale in recent years

The subtle force of the wind on 60 metres of bare but flat sand has been largely ignored by recent managers.     

The large amount of sand dumped in recent days on the beach at Marengo will quickly move DOWN into the tidal zone creating bars and rips .

What makes the sand move UP to build the dune? The sand only moves UP and settles when there when there is a CLEAR long surface and grass vegetation to trap it on the higher end of this necessary but subtle set of flattish curves.The old large trees in North Apollo bay allow wind tunnels under them,  making the erosion worse when there is no low vegetation under them. 

The Minister for local government should be asked what COT have done with the 13% POS tax they impose on developers and where they have acquired the Public open Space on the coast that they are required to do under the provisions of the Subdivision Act.

Why fake news ? No particular sites of offence by 4WD were named and the particular ecologists drawn in the lottery of lucky winners this time around wandered around the subject like the journos involved . The Science and integrity unit of the ABC ( should they exist ) should provide the discipline required to reduce the subtle agenda and catastrophic creating that has eroded sound practical peoples trust in the inexperienced ABC.

ABC can do great things -

 When it reports what is happening and not interprets the facts for us.
After decades of deep disappointment with the above problem, and the failure of the club to recognize its dogged determinism (eg own lack of real life experience, its immaturity, rejection of conservatism,  its commitment to some idealistic goal of progress and its quite clear growth of cynicism within the ranks.

Just some examples 
1,. Reporting some of the reasons why border closures are not always Israel problem  ie protests.
Still no questions from you on why the Palestinians allow so many women and children in the war zone -- do you think we are dumb?  Do you think your quiet cancelling of sources will meet with passive acceptance?
We are not stupid and simply don't watch or listen to ABCTV news or 774 or whatever.   There are some good reporters on RN but I won't mention them here . 


YET POSITIVELY   I  have noticed what I consider longer and more extended reports on protests and demonstrations say even on this Easter weekend.
For too long we haven't been able to trust ABC news because the producers have not encouraged unsavory pieces of news.
I am a competent environmental planner and simply cannot stomach the simplicities on all your channels on risk management in environment -

SIMPLY  none of you know enough to know who to talk to and the dumbing down we as competent professionals, always knew was real in academia, grows like muck . http://misplacedconcreteness.blogspot.com   Robin Williams must go.   

 

BACK ROADYANS would sack the incumbents ---in the news service

In the interests of the earth and our children's opportunity to study it and manage it .


This weeks example. 
The ABC 's recent focus on floods in the Goulburn is the latest in the decades of years when the lefts agenda , fear and ignorance dominates the news and the interpretation of events outside the building .Fires floods  are catastrophic - they have to be to make the preachers sermon real .   

The river is actually flooding because for the first time in eons , the dams are full and the stream flows  are more natural . Nothing to do with CC . And the hypocrisy is that its these sorts of big floods that do what the 20 billion spent of the Murray Darling Plan can never do -- regenerate the wetlands . And  dear Auntie plays wet nurse to those who need to move so they don't keep getting wet feet . Its not a joke its madness .Children entertaining the children - insisting that no mature truths and big picture be put - asking that no funeral dirges be played. 

The ABC think it's their job to WARN people of the dangers of climate change and unlike true
 MUSTER DOGS --they have no maturity about how to herd the sheep . 
And worse,  they have no idea where they are taking the sheep . 
MUSTER DOGS  a great program because we get to meet real people without agendas  and not one word of CC is mentioned amongst these productive earth working "hayseeds"( who mostly watch SKY ) .


The only way our children can avoid their desperate cynicism and fanaticisms in their news services is if they went back to reporting practical scientists who do know the ground truth ; Those who can tell the aweful truth about who is denying the truth ,which party is  withholding it when ,  or as mostly happens - those who fly with the wind, fear and arrogant ignorance  and hypocritical accusations against hay seeds and the thieves , murderers and rapists who inhabit big institutions . True science trumps the ace of prejudice from the reactionaries. 

RETIRE all the old ones at least .    Noone is learning anything new with them telling their same old stories ,  Adams the farmer who isn't  one. Robin Williams the science show leader who isn't a scientist and people like Doogue who runs a program on belief when she has never believed anything .
This is a club full of arrogant, inexperienced  cynical reactionaries who don't KNOW very much and could not inspire our children to do anything but be like them .Why should any broadcaster have more than ten years tenure?      

The challenged we face must be dealt with in humility if our children are not to be burdened with the arrogance of some of our institutions. 

The ABC club has been convinced for decades it knows something, but is not really sure what it is . 
It sells something like Climate change so easily because the answers are always changing  
The ABC have,  like so many powerful institutions  got into a fanatical mood because its right to exercise power in choosing what we see has been being lost in a big way for decades.
Everyone has an agenda. The authorship inside the ABC must not be hindered by the producers  choices.   

2024 New year machinations

 The  ABC CLUB are not in a good mood this Christmas. Their preachy mood doesn't go down well with anyone. Complaints are coming from their regular readers. Trying to smile when really you think the congregation still do not listen to you.   ABC not only preach bad news , they are stuck in it . 
What ever happened to generous enjoying giving and forgiving  with  good tidings of great joy to all people.  According to the high priests, we have been bad . 
It is of course, not just the ABC's problem, but the mood of ageing progressives across the world.

The old reactionaries sails are not held up by hot and warm air -  rather they are running cold critical and out of air . They are only ever full of substance when they are sailing with the wind, or a taxpayer funded wind geed  up by the wishy washy marginals.  When the wind stops,  the lack of substance of their empty action agendas become obvious . Just bad, bad news of guilt with no redemption and no way out . We get the feeling they have the greater problem  because we do bear some guilt, they presume to offer redemption when they don't know it or own it . 

Lower CO2 is the new pie in the sky , And for all the pushing , there is going to be push back because  sound scientists  always said,  the case for Anthro GW is still out .  
  
The management do not realize that a faith in progress, per say,  never lasts too long and that reporting someone who is drunk with some natural high that has some word sense, is better than having safe guests who are always so sober and self-righteous about the State of the World .
Strangely they are all in church again and want us to join them . 

You would think that not one of them would use up fossil fuels going anywhere for Christmas. 
ABC are in a guilt mood and preaching guilt catastrophe and condemnation in complete 
contrast to the Angels. 
Not that a sober view of how we greedily use up Resouces is not needed- but not as a backdrop to all news . 

Some of our young are thankfully not swallowing the wallowing bit . We just hope they get their first bit of hope by realizing the ABC and wider media are overstating  danger and making no room for feedback adjustment , overstatement and plain ignorance by their chosen naysayers and "experts ". 
The ABC have no time for people with experience - only those who sit there studying the porno and speculate on why everyone else should not worry like they teach we should do . .
 
The people are now hungry for something that works; something that  we can genuinely share with generations of our forebears and the growing numbers of former ABC listeners who no longer listen . 

I am now a swifty. We are against those who insist on their power games and their loud powerful voices ; those who hide behind the swift fix and the swift cancellation of the other side - something THE ABC have specialized in now over the last few years.
