I know it's old now, but if anyone didn't watch Burke's dissent speech to Bishop, you should. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj21BAklKjY&feature=youtu.be It blows my mind that this kind of crap can even occur.

open24hours posted:Banning factory farming would probably be a good idea if we also banned the import of food produced in factory farms overseas, but that's not going to happen and there's an argument to made that it's easier to ensure animal welfare on Australian farms than it is on overseas ones. No I would say it is better to ban both factory farming and the importation of factory farmed meat from overseas. Sure meat will be more expensive but it should be more expensive, people should be eating less meat not only for their health and the environment but for the welfare of the animals. It isn't sustainable anyway. I guess this is a fairly extreme view but we should really be moving in this direction sooner rather than later and I'd rather people eat meat once a week then move to once or twice a month than putting billions of animals through immense stress and pain just so someone can have $8.99 boneless skinless chicken breast for dinner 5 nights a week. You can argue it would hurt poorer families but food education is obviously something we need to encourage in the first place, a mainly vegetarian diet is easy, tasty and healthy. It is a fairly big issue and an important change society needs to consider so while I know most Australians like the rest of western civilisation only care about their own instant gratification over the welfare of everything else on earth I guess I just expect the greens to be giving this a little more emphasis.

I don't really disagree with you, but even if the Greens were elected with a majority in both houses tomorrow they would have a hell of a time making it happen. Aside from the trade issues and sending most of the meat industry broke, people would vote them out at the first opportunity. [EDIT: That was a reply to the whole of your post, to just address the factory farming thing, it's probably doable but I'm doubtful that it would lead to a net increase in animal welfare, I feel like we'd just be exporting the problem.] open24hours fucked around with this message at 09:54 on Jun 2, 2015 |

Oh, for gently caress sake. Abbott really wont be happy till he's managed to annoy another country into a war with us will he? Although losing a war with china might actually be worth it if it would just stop Abbott continually trying to make freedom an adjective. Or just stop Abbott in general really.

Why don't we add a tax on to meat products that scales with emissions and the proceeds can go to subsidise 0 km vegetable and legume farms

tomkash posted:Oh yeah I know they've spoken out about live exports, I just mean about Australia's meat consumption in general and how we allow factory farming here. I follow a lot of the greens on Facebook and there is the occasional live export post or recently the greyhound racing posts. I've never seen anything said about meat consumption and factory farming, NZ banned animal testing for cosmetics and recognised in law that animals are sentient beings. Shouldn't we try to be applying that here? I don't think I've seen a single mention of it in Australia outside of animals australia but it was a massive step in the right direction. I understand meat consumption is the elephant in the room for environmentalists but banning animal testing and closing down factory farms are pretty popular. NZ also has essentially banned live export for years seemingly without any issues so I feel there should really be a stronger push here. I've heard that factory farms have a smaller environmental impact, but yeah all the greens I know won't shut up about animal welfare I personally couldn't give a gently caress, but that's not a discussion I feel like having tonight.

Hilarious that the Greens denounce Bernadi for wanting an inquiry into Halal certification while they they lobby to stop live exports, a policy to deny muslims food based on their faith. Who's the islamophobic party again?

Don't legumes contain phytic acid which can inhibit iron, zinc and calcium absorbtion and lead to mineral deficiencies in people who mostly eat grains and legume or have very low amounts of meat in their diet?

A bunch of food contains stuff that is bad for you or not ideal, that's why we eat a bunch of different foods and don't just subsist on twinkies and the human refuse that slithers out between our gormless lips
