Last week Homewood glued himself to a nine-metre metal pole erected in the middle of a road at the entrance of the Port of Melbourne’s Appleton Dock. Traffic was stopped for two hours before emergency service workers could separate him from the pole and remove him from the site. He was not acting alone. Homewood was one of 21 activists connected to the group Blockade Australia arrested across five mornings last week for shutting down major ports in Melbourne, Brisbane and Newcastle. ... Blockade Australia is one of several organisations, including Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, using direct action techniques to try to shake people from what they see as climate complacency. Activists have stopped traffic, smashed windows, superficially defaced major artworks, blocked coal trains and interfered with fossil fuel conferences. ... Three of the protesters in Queensland are charged with endangering the safety of vehicles and related transport infrastructure, a crime that carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. ... Zelda Grimshaw, a media spokesperson for Blockade Australia, says the group will not be swayed. She says the NSW police had tried to “smash our network” last year by infiltrating a training camp in NSW’s Colo Valley but the port mobilisation showed the group had “come back like the hydra, threefold”. The message to governments, she says, is that they “cannot solve climate breakdown with jail sentences and anti-protest legislation”. “They are shooting at the fire alarms rather than putting out the fire.”

Meet Doug Taylor and Dale Campbell, both Park Rangers in the Tjoritja-West Macdonnell National Park.

As Arrertne people, Dale and Doug both have a deep cultural connection to this region. Dale shares that as a “born and bred Alice Springs local, working out on Tjoritja-West McDonald National Park is a privilege because I'm working out on my Country, my family's country. It’s the best."

Sharing feelings of pride to be caring for Country and walking the pathways of their ancestors Doug says, “I’m an Arrertne person, so for me this is ancestral Country. As a ranger, it’s great that I can work on the Country of my ancestors, and at the same time exchange that knowledge with visitors, the significance of the ranges, because there’s so many important sites through here and along the trail.”

Based at spectacular Simpsons Gap, they manage a section of the world-famous Larapinta Trail. The 223km trail is divided into twelve sections that each take one or two days to complete. It stretches from Mparntwe (Alice Springs) to Rwetyepme (Mt Sonder). Dale tells us that “hundreds and hundreds of hikers come through the trail every year now. It’s one of the most spectacular hiking trails here in Australia. It gives you the whole overview of what the West Macdonnell Ranges are all about.”

Dale explains some of the work that the Ranger team does to maintain the trails and safety of walkers, as well as show us some of the incredible plants in bloom in the desert. “As you can see the country’s quite dry right now. Well up to 40°C, sometimes 50°C summer days. Being a park ranger, we provide water to the Lara-trail tanks, service the toilet blocks, even provide assistance for hikers that are injured. We also provide a bit of knowledge of the place. Giving education to them is one of the key things.”

Dale shows us the resurrection fern Cheilanthes lasiophylla. “After any bit of moisture that we get in Central Australia, the resurrection fern fingers will open and come back to life. After the moisture dries up, they eventually curl back up and go back to sleep.” Doug shows us an Eremophila freelingii in which “the honeyeaters have extracted all the nectar out” of the flowers.

People travel to Alice Springs from all over the world to experience not just the physical challenge of the hike, but also the spiritual connection to this ancient landscape. The plants, animals, waterholes and rock formations found here are deeply significant to the creation stories of the Arrernte people, including parts of the Akngwelye and Yeperenye Altyerre (Wild Dog and Caterpillar) dreaming stories.

"Our rangers' role is very, very diverse and different. It's so good for us as work, because we're not just doing one thing, we're doing lots of different things. Things like fire management, weed management, as well looking after the trail. It's a fantastic role and I feel very fortunate to be doing it” says, Doug. “Also, for our young people here, they have opportunities to be rangers. That’s what we want, we want our young people to work the country of their ancestors and feel good about it because this is their home. What better place to come to work, I mean – what an office!”

Featured Plants:

WOOLLY CLOAK-FERN - Cheilanthes lasiophylla

ROCK FUCHSIA BUSH - Eremophila freelingii

ROCK FIG - Ficus brachypoda

The Restrict Act 2023

About the Restrict Act

There’s a lot of information/misinformation I’ve been seeing about the Restrict Act. I’ve stared at the damn bill for around thirty hours at this point, so I thought I’d give people a summary of what it’s actually doing as well as what it isn’t doing, to help you avoid misinformation.

Buckle in, folks, because this is going to be a long post. I know Tumblr is allergic to nuance, but hopefully you’ll be able to see both the good and the bad in this bill by the time I’m done, and be able to understand what’s actually going on. If you just want to see problems with the act, the last section is devoted to that.

tl;dr good in spirit because of the rising rate of infrastructure cyberattacks, but the letter of the law could use a little work to make sure that the government can't overstep

Why the Restrict Act?

Let’s start with the why. Why does the US government feel like this Act is necessary? The stated purpose is: “To authorize the Secretary of Commerce to review and prohibit certain transactions between persons in the United States and foreign adversaries, and for other purposes.” Which is a bunch of legalese, so I’ll give you some examples of things that are happening in the real world which the government wants more authority to look into.

The author of the bill, Sen. Warner, specifically cited Huawei and Kapersky as companies that were doing Suspicious Things, so we’ll look at those first.

Huawei: Huawei is a telecommunications company. The US, Australia, Canada, Sweden, UK, Lithuania, and Estonia have all taken various actions against Huawei over the last decade or so. In 2012, a malicious software update was installed on Huawei devices in Australia, attacking Australia’s telecommunications network. In 2021, a Washington Post review suggested that Huawei was involved in mass surveillance programs. In 2014, a Huawei engineer was caught hacking a cell phone tower in India

Kapersky: The UK, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the EU, Germany, and Italy have all taken action against Kapersky. This company produces antivirus software, and was accused of working on secret projects with Russia’s Federal Security Service, especially in the wake of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Allegedly, the company used the popular antivirus software to secretly scan for classified documents and other information, and allegedly stole NSA information.

In addition to these two companies, there have been tons of cyberattacks worldwide.

Half of the United States’ fuel supply was compromised due to a hack on Colonial Pipeline, shutting down fuel for some areas in the American southeast for days

A hacking group disrupted Iranian steel factories and even started a fire

Costa Rica had to declare a national emergency after government systems were hit, including systems for exports, pensions, taxes, welfare, and even Covid-19 testing.

A ransomware attack caused a major outage to emergency health services in the UK

The stated purpose of this act is to give the USA some kind of formal process to make decisions when something like this is suspected of happening, and when it’s caused by a “foreign adversary.”

What’s a foreign adversary?

A foreign adversary is a country that has engaged in a “long-term pattern or serious instances of conduct significantly adverse to the national security of the United States or security and safety of United States persons.”

The bill kindly provides us with a list of six countries that fit this description: China(including Hong Kong), Cuba, Iran, Korea, Russia, and Venezuela

The Secretary of Commerce can add/remove countries to this list at any time, as long as Congress is informed within 15 days of the reasoning behind that decision.

Once Congress is informed, Congress can disagree via joint resolution (So both Houses have to vote to disagree with the Secretary of Commerce’s decision). If Congress disagrees, there’s a whole complicated process for getting the label added/removed.

We’ll get into the ethics later, in the Genuine Problems section.

For the rest of this post, I’ll be saying Scary Countries instead of foreign adversaries, so that it’s easier for people to understand.

What is the United States allowed to investigate using this Act?

So first we’re going to define some things, because the Act is very specific about what the United States can investigate.

The bill defines something called a “covered transaction,” which is basically a financial or technological action taken by a Scary Country or on behalf of a Scary Country. For the rest of this post, I’ll be saying Scary Action instead of covered transaction.

The bill also defines something called a “covered holding,” which is essentially any group that is partially or fully owned by a Scary Country, on behalf of a Scary Country, or that falls under a Scary Country’s jurisdiction, even with degrees of separation. The group has to affect either 1+ million Americans or has to have sold 1+ million units of a tech product to Americans. This group is usually a company, but it can be other things, too. For the rest of this post, I’ll be saying Scary & Important Group instead of covered holding.

The Secretary of Commerce is allowed to find/investigate/stop any Scary Action or Scary & Important Group that wants to do one of the following:

sabotage information and communications tech in the US

damage critical infrastructure or the digital economy of the US

interfere with a Federal election

undermine democratic processes

Pose any other unacceptable risk to the USA.

This is a list of Really Bad Things, so from now on I’m going to call it the List of Really Bad Things.

If it’s a Scary & Important Group instead of a Scary Action, the Secretary will refer the information to the President, who will then decide what to do to stop the threat. Otherwise, if it’s just a Scary Action, the Secretary has the authority to stop it.

If the Secretary finds out that something Scary is going on and that it falls under the List of Really Bad Things, the Secretary is REQUIRED to publish information in a DECLASSIFIED form about why they thought there was a threat and what was done to stop it, as long as none of the information is already classified. (This is a good thing!)

Process

First, the Secretary is given authority to find and investigate Scary Actions and Scary & Important Groups. The Secretary is also allowed to delegate this to Federal officials. Something key here is that the bill says that Federal officials can only have investigative powers that are “conferred upon them by any other Federal law.” They don’t get any extra powers. Anyone who tells you otherwise is panicking too hard to properly read the bill.

So what happens if, in the course of investigation, the Secretary finds out that a Scary Action or Scary & Important Group is trying to do a Really Bad Thing? Simple. The Attorney General will bring the case to an “appropriate district court.” The max fine for a civil penalty for an individual here is $250,000. For a criminal penalty for an individual, the max fine is $1 million and/or 20 years in prison, as well as giving up any of the things they used to do Really Bad Stuff with.

If someone is found guilty, they can appeal that decision, but only to the District of Columbia Circuit. Note that this is only for appeals! Otherwise, everything will be through the normal federal district courts.

If the appeal fails, too, the US will file all of the information that they used to make any big decisions with the court, and will give the defendant all of the information that is not classified, so that the defendant can ask for a full review.

Once the United States has stopped a Scary Action or a Scary & Important Group from doing Really Bad Things, it’s illegal to go around/against any of the actions that US has taken to do that.

Specifically, the bill says that “no person may cause or aid, abet, counsel, command, induce, procure, permit, or approve the doing of any act prohibited by, or the omission of any act required by any regulation, order, direction, mitigation measure, prohibition, or other authorization or directive issued under, this Act.”

Yes, this is legitimately scary. We’ll get into the ethics later, in the Genuine Problems section.

Myths

The bill gives the USA power to ban VPNs!

No. Unless the VPN company is trying to do one of the Really Bad Things under the instruction of a Scary Country or is suspected of doing one of the Really Bad Things, the VPN company will be fine.

The bill gives the USA power to investigate way more than they could before!

No. “In conducting investigations described in paragraph (1), designated officers or employees of Federal agencies described that paragraph may, to the extent necessary or appropriate to enforce this Act, exercise such authority as is conferred upon them by any other Federal law, subject to policies and procedures approved by the Attorney General” (emphasis mine).

Important here is “exercise such authority as is conferred upon them by any other Federal law” — this act is not giving them additional leeway. Really, the USA is making use of the lack of privacy that’s already baked into law in order to investigate.

If TikTok is banned and I use a VPN to access it, I could go to jail for 20 years!

Possible but severely unlikely, at least according to this law. Let’s go through some scenarios:

Scenario 1: The USA takes TikTok to court. In the decision, the USA says the TikTok app is no longer allowed to be on any app store. In this case, using a VPN to access TikTok would still be allowed, since the ban is for TikTok’s actions, not US citizens’ actions.

Scenario 2: The USA takes TikTok to court. In the decision, the USA says that TikTok is required to have some kind of filter banning US IP addresses. In this case, using a VPN to access TikTok would still be allowed, since the ban is for TikTok’s actions, not US citizens’ actions.

Scenario 3: The USA enacts a law forbidding citizens from accessing TikTok. This is unlikely, since the USA would have to have an entirely separate non-court procedure to do this, which is only kind of in the scope of the law. I guess it’s possible, but it’s skating on thin ice. In this case, using a VPN to access TikTok would be a crime. 4. If you’re charged, you have to go to the DC Circuit Court and not any of the other courts!

Actually, you’d first be charged under an ordinary district court in your state. If you decide to appeal, however, then you have to appeal to DC.

Genuine Problems

Adding a Scary Country to the list seems really easy. There’s nothing to stop the government from adding every single country to the list and then investigating every single action. Granted, it’s highly unlikely that this would happen, simply because then the amount of information would be difficult to go through, but it’s possible.

In the list of Really Bad Things, there’s an additional list item saying “otherwise poses an undue or unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the safety of United States persons.” Who determines that?

The definition of a Scary Action is ridiculously broad. It covers any financial or technology-related action. That could refer to a lot of different things.

While the bill is clearly intended only to prosecute people doing Really Bad Things, the wording is kind of vague in some places, and could be used to prosecute others, too.

Specifically, I’m thinking about this clause:

“no person may cause or aid, abet, counsel, command, induce, procure, permit, or approve the doing of any act prohibited by, or the omission of any act required by any regulation, order, direction, mitigation measure, prohibition, or other authorization or directive issued under, this Act”

Yeah this could definitely be used for overreach. It’s far too broad. If there was an infrastructure attack on the USA that affected the police dept, and an ACAB armchair activist tweeted “haha karma�� would that count as grounds for prosecution? I have a genuine problem with this clause. The loopholes here are ridiculously large.

Overall, it seems as though this bill is aimed at large companies rather than citizens, but there are definitely loopholes for the government to exploit.

This article explains why prompt Possum Removal in Adelaide is essential for maintaining your property’s integrity and safety.

The Risks of Possum Infestation

1. Structural Damage

Possums can cause extensive damage to your property. They may chew through insulation, wiring, and wooden structures, leading to costly repairs. Electrical wiring damage can also pose a fire hazard, making immediate action crucial.

Benefits of Prompt Possum Removal

1. Prevents Escalation

Possums reproduce quickly. Delaying their removal can lead to a larger infestation, making the problem harder and more expensive to resolve. Immediate action ensures the issue is controlled before it spirals out of hand.

2. Protects Your Property’s Value

A property infested with possums can lose its market value. Buyers or tenants are unlikely to consider a space compromised by wildlife. Investing in timely Possum Removal in Adelaide helps preserve your property’s worth.

3. Promotes Peace of Mind

Relocation Captured possums are relocated to a suitable environment, adhering to legal guidelines.

Prevention Measures Entry points are sealed, and property owners are advised on steps to deter future infestations, such as pruning trees near roofs and maintaining clean premises.

DIY Possum Removal: Why It’s Not Recommended

Although DIY methods may seem cost-effective, they often prove ineffective and can worsen the problem. Possums may return if entry points remain accessible. Moreover, handling wildlife without proper training poses risks to both the possum and the homeowner.

Relying on professional Possum Removal in Adelaide ensures a safe, efficient, and permanent resolution to your possum problems.

Tips to Prevent Possum Infestations

Secure Your Property Regularly inspect your home for gaps, holes, or broken vents. Repair these promptly to block access.

Manage Food Waste Dispose of food waste properly and secure your garbage bins to avoid attracting possums.

Install Possum Deterrents Consider using motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices to discourage possums from approaching your property.

Top 3 Tips for Ensuring Safe Vehicle Transportation

According to different Australian reports, in today’s world, approximately 70% of customers prefer to use a relocation service provider that has an in-built Vehicle Transportation service. That's why safe vehicular transportation has become an integral part of modern relocation. However, it has been observed that in today's world, apart from the service provider, customers (i.e., the individuals whose vehicle is being transported) also play an important role in ensuring their vehicle's safety. This is because usually, they (i.e., customers) are responsible for maintaining and preparing their automobiles and for providing different details.

It is for this reason that the current article intends to share different tips that ultimately ensure safe vehicle transportation, as a part of an intercity relocation. Ideally speaking, being aware of this front is essential for different frequent Movers in Australia because firstly, it minimizes potential delays and the need for additional services. Secondly, it reduces the risk of damage and loss, thereby guaranteeing people a safe and stress-free relocation.

Top 3 Tips to Ensure Safe Vehicle Transportation during an Intercity Move

According to different industrial experts, the top three ways in which customers can help their chosen moving and transportation companies ensure their vehicle’s safety and risk-free delivery are:

1. By Properly Preparing the Vehicle for Transportation

One of the best ways to ensure vehicle safety during an interstate relocation is to make sure that it is properly prepared for transportation. Ideally speaking, this helps prevent unnecessary delays, damage and complications. According to different well-known relocation specialists, Movers in Australia must undertake the following activities, in this regard.

A Thorough Car Cleaning: Firstly, they should thoroughly wash/clean their cars (both from the inside and outside). This allows both the customer and the inspectors to extensively inspect the vehicle and identify/log its existing condition and damage (for insurance purposes).

Removal of Personal and Unnecessary Items: Secondly, one should remove all important, personal and unnecessary items from their automobiles for safety reasons and to reduce the overall weight of the car.

Car Servicing: Thirdly, it has been suggested that customers must get their vehicles completely serviced before transportation. Ideally, this helps in checking the overall functionality of the car (i.e., its engine, tyre pressure, fluid levels, etc) because, in theory, a vehicle in good mechanical and functional condition is easier and safer to transport.

Refuelling: Lastly, Movers in Australia must refuel their vehicle (up to a quarter) before transportation so that it is easier to load and unload. In addition, this also helps movers in the following manner:

Reduce the risk of oil spills and fire hazard

Maintain Engine Health

Reduce future repair and maintenance expenses (due to accidental damage).

2. By Providing Accurate and Complete Information

Secondly, to ensure safe Vehicle Transportation, customers must provide accurate and complete information on the following fronts:

(a) The make and model of their vehicle.

(b) Its current condition.

(c) Precise details about pickup and delivery addresses (including special instructions).

(d) Contact information and availability (of the customer).

Usually, this helps movers and car/bike transporters appropriately handle and deliver different automobiles (as per the customer’s expectations and the needed services), thereby reducing the risk of accident damage and loss.

3. By Investing in an Insurance Coverage

Lastly, one should definitely invest in purchasing appropriate car/bike insurance for their conveyance before it is professionally transported. According to different sources, such proactive measures are essential because of the following major reasons and facts:-

(a) Despite a given company’s expertise and experience, accidents may happen due to sudden road and weather uncertainties.

(b) Secondly, buying a carefully reviewed insurance policy financially protects one’s car and bike (in case of an accident) - at the very least it covers the different associated maintenance and repairs charges (as a result of the accident).

(c) Thirdly, Movers in Australia (and, by extension, in other countries and regions) must buy an insurance policy because insurance covers potential damage caused by poor road conditions or inadequate infrastructure.

(d) Lastly, it provides peace of mind.

All this, in conclusion, reveals that in today's world, for safe Vehicle Transportation, both the company and the customer must play their respective roles since their actions directly impact the overall safety/security and condition of the vehicle and its timely delivery. From a vehicular standpoint, ultimately, this ensures a safe, efficient and successful intercity (or) interstate relocation.

Emergency Procedures for Banner Pole Incidents: Ensuring Safety and Preparedness

Introduction

Banner poles are a popular feature in Australia, often used to showcase promotional materials, mark events, or highlight community messages. While banner poles enhance aesthetics and communication, they also come with a responsibility to ensure safety. Unexpected incidents, such as a pole malfunction or structural failure, can pose risks to both property and individuals. This guide outlines emergency procedures for handling banner pole incidents, focusing on public safety, quick responses, and the importance of professional maintenance.

If you're seeking reliable solutions, Banner Poles Australia offers high-quality options designed with safety and durability in mind.

Understanding Common Banner Pole Incidents

Before delving into emergency procedures, it is crucial to understand the potential issues that can arise with banner poles:

Structural Failures Prolonged exposure to wind, weather, or lack of maintenance can weaken a pole’s structure. Over time, rust, cracks, or bending may occur, leading to potential collapse.

Banner Dislodgement Strong winds or improper installation can cause banners to become loose or detached, creating hazards for pedestrians or vehicles.

Base Instability Poorly secured bases or ground anchors may shift or fail, especially during extreme weather conditions.

Electrical Interference If a banner pole is located near power lines or contains integrated lighting, electrical hazards could occur due to faulty wiring or accidental contact.

Obstruction or Damage Fallen poles or dislodged banners can block pathways, damage nearby structures, or cause accidents.

Emergency Procedures for Banner Pole Incidents

1. Prioritise Public Safety

The safety of individuals near the incident site should always come first. Follow these steps immediately:

Evacuate the Area: Clear people from the vicinity to minimise the risk of injury.

Mark Danger Zones: Use barricades, cones, or temporary signs to cordon off the affected area.

2. Assess the Situation

Conduct a quick evaluation to understand the scope of the incident:

Identify if the pole has fallen, is leaning dangerously, or if banners have been dislodged.

Look for additional hazards such as live wires or sharp edges.

Check for injuries and administer first aid if required.

3. Contact Emergency Services if Needed

If the incident has caused injuries, significant property damage, or risks further harm, contact emergency services:

Call 000 in Australia to request police, fire, or ambulance assistance.

Inform them of any unique risks, such as electrical hazards or heavy equipment.

4. Engage Professional Help

For structural or technical issues, call professionals to handle the situation. For example:

Banner Poles Australia offers maintenance services that can swiftly address issues like collapsed poles or dislodged components.

Engage a licensed electrician if electrical components are involved.

5. Secure Loose Components

If safe to do so, secure loose banners or fittings to prevent further damage or obstruction.

Use zip ties, temporary clamps, or ropes to stabilise items until professional help arrives.

6. Inspect Surrounding Areas
