Comment on Living Wonders judgment shows Australia's environment laws are failing us in the climate crisis
batmangrundies@lemmy.world 8 months agoI’ve been an environmental activist for roughly 20 years. I’ve been arrested, I’ve been in fist-fights with Nazis, I’ve done it all.
It feels like there are fewer activists today than there has ever been.
I’m planning to leave the country.

Where will you go?

Who knows?
I’m done chasing a house and family in Aus. The wife and I are looking to sell up belongings, go meet up with friends in Europe and spend our time kayaking and trekking around the place on the cheap. I have a job in Toronto waiting if I want to settle.
I’m done with Aussie work culture, shit Aussie pay (relative to professional roles overseas) and the worsening “fuck you got mine” attitude imported from the US that seems to permeate Aussie culture now.
A lot of my mates already left, I only held on because I thought we were progressing and I am very connected to the land here. I don’t see it getting better anymore.
