Peter Spencer Hunger Strike on a Wind Tower

B'H
Since the beginning of December 2009, a NSW farmer Peter Spencer has been on a hunger strike to draw the Australian Labor Government's attention to Land Rights and Usage issues in the Australian rural community and to protest the treatment he has received through the court system.
He has had over 200 court appearances all for nought as he has fought to try and regain the rights to use his land economically and to clear the vegetation and trees on some areas of his land.
Bueaucrats in the government have for the past nearly twenty years tried with ever increasing success to dictate to farmers and landowners how to use their land and what to plant and where and when. Unfortunately their successful meddling has destroyed the ability and rights of landowners to use their land economically. People have been forced off their land and have suicided and divorced because of the situation that has been forced on them through government meddling in rural and land issues.
If you want to find out more about this - go to this website and read on a number of issues that concerns the Australian rural community. These matters will have an impact eventually on the urban populace.

Well another blog started!

The cat has had six kittens. They are little rats. Stubby noses, eyes squeezed shut for the next ten days or so, skinny stick legs and spindly tails. They also squeak furiously when taken more than a few centimetres away from their mother which further enhances the rat metaphor.
Nir lies on his stomach, legs spread out behind him, face supported on his hands and gazes lovingly at the mother cat Mitzie and the six squirmy little things latching on to her. He is in love. I am at my wits end and thinking 'Come six weeks, they are in the pet shop and the mum is in the vet getting done!'

Life is cruel.
