Barrow Island under threat...

And there really is very little that can be done at this stage that isn't being done by conservationists and so forth. But it's a terribly important issue as there are several endangered species, species unique to Barrow Island that are under threat, like the Flat-backed turtle for instance. I've been looking up some links about it:

http://www.energybulletin.net/5219.html A geoscience view on the project, and apparently it's not too wise...

http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/buzz/stories/s1150469.htm Chevron's side of the argument...

http://www.terradaily.com/reports/Environment_Agency_Rejects_Gorgon_Natural_Gas_Project.html The WA Government ignore the EPA (That's the Labor govt for you...)

http://www.planetark.com/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/36664/story.htm Planet Ark's response on the matter.

What really ticks me off is that a lot of people supported Labor because they went on about how they'd protect the old growth forests and all that sort of clap-trap, but they've ignored that shit largely. It just shits me. The major parties are both as bad as each other! :(

I'd talk about this more but I have to go to Centrelink this morning. Gonna suck hard.

Nooooooo!

Remaking Conan?!

God damn. NOTHING is sacred!

Dune fangirling.

I'm so enjoying the book. I've nearly finished it - I want more!!

I also want to get the proper movie version, not the redone one. I want the David Lynch cut on DVD! That'd be cool. Is it available? I hope so.
