@daverino.bsky.social Of course, there's no mention in *any* of Australia's media or The Greens, or 150+ NGOs about Fonterra or industrial agriculture. Because AU = 29 million cattle, NZ = 6 million or so, reckon Australia might have a problem like New Zealand? #TooManyCows #nzpol #AusPol #climate

A new Danish study has linked elevated levels of nitrate in drinking water to an increased risk of stomach cancer. More reason to lower New Zealand’s nitrate limits, following studies that have linked low-level nitrate to risks of bowel cancer, dementia, and pre-term birth. #TooManyCows #Health

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse 😡

An Australian outfit plans to fast-track a dirty new industry in Southland using FILTHY lignite (brown coal) to create urea.

Urea is synthetic nitrogen ‘fertiliser’ that drives dairy expansion, the pollution of rivers and contamination of drinking water and climate pollution.

It would be a disaster.

@JulianOliver @gordo
think of the ramifications of palantir for cattle on Australia’s herd of 26 million, where a huge % are destined for McDonalds in 190 nations. no doubt they’ll weave in a carbon credits angle too. Rinehart, Forrest, Murdoch + QLD govt will be all over it.
fyi @Qldaah Dutton = in charge of massive investments in cattle.
