Is pesticide spray on food leading to movement disorders?
Precautionary principle - ban paraquat

"Paraquat and the related herbicide diquat are fast-acting weedkillers that farming groups say are essential for controlling resistant weeds."

"Multiple epidemiological studies from different groups of scientists have shown that people exposed to paraquat have around a three times greater risk [of developing Parkinson's disease]."

'The chemicals have been under review by the APVMA since 1997 and they are banned in the EU, the UK and China due to their toxicity.'

"There are now multiple epidemiological studies or real-world exposure studies that have suggested that paraquat increases the risk of Parkinson's disease by around threefold...Like Australia, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to allow restricted use of the pesticide despite ongoing health concerns." >>

What climate pollution?
The UN to ensure Australian compliance with international law
The right to a healthy environment as mandated by international law

"A UN special rapporteur has intervened in Australia's decision to extend Woodside's North West Shelf gas project by another 40 years. Australia did not adequately consider the climate impacts of extending its largest gas project, an independent United Nations expert has told the Federal Court."

"We are living a triple planetary crisis, not only climate change, but also biodiversity loss and toxic pollution...The project's emissions — the third-highest in Australia — were likely causing irreversible damage to the World Heritage site, Murujuga, home to some of the world's oldest known rock carvings."

"As recently as last month, Australia was one of 141 countries to endorse a landmark resolution by the International Court of Justice, which found that states had a legal imperative to consider climate in their environmental impact assessments." >>

Imagine roadless nature!
Rescinding The Roadless Rule

Millions of acres of national forests are set to open up for more logging

"...The U.S. Congress will act soon on a proposal to repeal the Roadless Rule, which was enacted in 2001 and safeguards some 58 million acres of public land in 39 states from new road development." >>
https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/general/congress-to-consider-roadless-rule-rescission

"Nearly a year ago, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced plans to repeal the long-contested 2001 Roadless Rule, which bars road construction on nearly 45 million acres of national forest land...The administration and timber trade groups argue roads provide access for wildfire suppression and forest management work aimed at reducing fire risk." >>
https://lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/environment/2026/05/28/public-rollout-of-roadless-rule-repeal-delayed/

"The Roadless Rule also protects taxpayers from shouldering the high costs of building and maintaining roads in the Forest Service system. Rescinding it would expose taxpayers to billions in new liabilities from subsidized roads, money-losing timber sales, increased wildfire risks, and harm to our forest health." >>

#Communities fall apart because they don’t know how to read the #harm.
They don’t know how to interpret it, metabolize it, or respond to it in a way that restores the field rather than distorting it further.

The hierarchisation of triggers - The taxonomic classification of harm to bodies and the normalisation of violence

A mainstream media case:

When violence against pets takes place there is usually a strong trigger warning (TW) or content warnings (CW) before the act is shown/described on the mainstream media.

These warnings are supposed to avoid distress or trigger flashbacks in information consumers. It is giving them time to brace themselves in a hostile world or curl up in their inner bunker.

* When it comes to animals, such as pet abuse or injured wildlife there is often a warning by the ABCNEWS​ >
https://www.abc.net.au/news/search?query=animal%20cruelty

"Warning: This story contains descriptions and video of alleged animal abuse."
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-12/no-conviction-for-queensland-health-employee-who-beat-puppy/106660238

"WARNING: Readers are advised that this article contains a graphic image of an injured animal."
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-26/koala-killed-after-being-dragged-behind-vehicle/106497782

* The ubiquitous sexualised violence also gets a CW.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-13/hamas-systematically-used-rape-october-7-report-says/106672368

* Livestock abuse often is without any warnings.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/search?query=cattle%20animal%20abuse

* Attacks on workers, or workplace injuries or death 'news' also seems to go without warnings.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/search?query=work%20accident

* The mass violence of warfare depicted on mainstream media and platform screens running 24/7 is mostly without warnings
