Keating (one of the bastards who destroyed the Australian union movement) discussing Clinton (the bastard):
Somewhat unusual to see the malevolent influence flowing in the other direction. Although our immigration policies have been regrettably influential overseas as well.

Fish farming has been copping a justified PR battering in Tasmania over recent years.
The local industry likes to set up shop in delicate wilderness areas and dump epic amounts of toxic crap into the water. Think of the worst stereotypes of industrial pig farming transplanted into a marine environment. They’re also fond of exterminating competing marine life (e.g. seals) and tend to be careless of the health of their fish stock.
Most of the fish farmers were removed from the Tamar ages ago, but there is one remaining. It’s about a third of the way to Launceston, at the southern end of Long Reach. I go there fairly often to watch the seals that hang around it.

Apparently now up to something like 70,000 dead 5kg salmon.
Cooler weather today though, so hopefully that will help.
