The USA Gun Lobby and the GOP
In the annals of Australian history, Port Arthur is a disturbing reminder of heartache, cruelty and loss.
The 25th anniversary of the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, with the death of 35 and numerous injured, highlights the terror of guns in our community in the hands of the mentally disturbed or radicalised.
It was a watershed moment in our history, which propelled Prime Minister John Howard to call on gun owners to hand in their weapons.
It was a nationwide event which changed our gun culture.
Thousands of guns were destroyed, making Australia a safer place and giving our citizens greater peace of mind.

There are advertorials running about the wonders of feeding cows red algae, or Asparagopsis, in order to reduce the obscene amount of the very potent greenhouse gas methane, which is released in their belches and farts. The no doubt conservative estimate is that this makes up 57 per cent of farm emissions. It is being said that If 10 per cent of the livestock producers added 1.0 per cent of Asparagopsis Seaweed Meal to the daily feed intake of ruminant livestock, it is like removing 100 million cars off the road.
