There’s a few questions arising from the Weekly Times article re the withdrawal of Animal’s Australia’s ‘Make it possible’ fundraising bags from Coles supermarkets: What does Animals Australia’s Lyn White mean by her threat ‘we’re about to push hard on the accelerator’. More illegally installed surveillance cameras, like the one found at the piggery near Young (NSW), followed […]

The truth about Australian animal welfare
June 5th, 2013Alastair Lucas & Nicolle Flint’s letters in the Melbourne Age Newspaper
May 17th, 2013Bush-bashing via media appears to be becoming a national sport. The latest is a letter in the Age Newspaper by Alastair Lucas AM. He criticises Nicolle Flint’s recent letter regarding the particular section of ABC television which increasingly looks like an unquestioning mouthpiece for animal rights extremists. They are not presenting the full facts regarding […]
Starving cattle to graze in Queensland National Parks
May 16th, 2013Predictably, conservationists are jumping up and down about the prospect of certain (starving) cattle being allowed to graze in some of Queensland’s National Parks. Quite a few of the parks being considered would already have (feral) cattle in them, and all would have been cattle stations at one time. They were made National Parks due […]
NAPCo – North Australia Pastoral Co – shares for sale
May 13th, 2013The North Australia Pastoral Co (NAPCo) is one of Australia’s oldest large pastoral companies; having been established in the 1870s. Renowned for conservative, steady management (the most likely style to make a healthy profit, long-term); the ownership of NAPCo has always been kept as secret as possible; with long-term shareholders living unassuming lives out of […]
The Vegetarian Myth, by Lierre Keith
March 19th, 2013Lierre Keith was a vegan for twenty years, suffered severe health problems then started researching. She wrote a book about what she discovered, called “The Vegetarian Myth”. I haven’t read Lierre Keith’s book (only found out about it today) but this television interview is very interesting. Lierre explains how being vegan “becomes who you are” […]
Nutritional value of red meat
March 15th, 2013Today someone asked me ‘what is the nutritional value of red meat’ (in a person’s diet). Good question! Unprocessed red meat includes a number of elements vital for human health. Nutrition and human health is an incredibly complicated field; research results often throw up conflicting views, some of which are later discredited. Above all – […]
Steele Rudd – Arthur Hoey Davis
March 13th, 2013I believe Arthur Hoey Davis (pen name “Steele Rudd”) is by far and away Australia’s best ever writer, due to the originality and relevance of his stories and characters, combined with his great writing ability. Only heard of ‘his’ Dad & Dave jokes? (Actually written [very badly] by others…much to Steele Rudd’s dismay). Do your […]
SLM Australia Livestock Fund
March 12th, 2013SLM Partners Australia Pty Ltd has set up the SLM Australia Livestock Fund, which has apparently been buying property around Cunnamulla (Southern Queensland) and Enngonia (North Western NSW). The plan is to cell graze large numbers of cattle to “improve productivity while enhancing the environment”. SLM stands for “Sustainable Livestock Management”. Presumably SLM Partners will […]
