Thanks. It would have been nice if they would have said that in their post.

Thousands of tons of asbestos was released when the towers came down. :/

That’s not a link … it’s a download.

Blocked.

Yes, except in order to make PTFE you have to use PFAS … so it’s a double-edged sword.

Because of their ubiquitous usage and environmental persistence, humans are exposed to a variety of PFAS, primarily through ingestion of contaminated water and food, though PFAS have also been detected in air, indoor dust, and consumer products (Domingo and Nadal, 2017; Sunderland et al., 2019).

While certain communities can be highly exposed to PFAS due to proximity to an industrial site or occupational exposure, PFAS exposure is ubiquitous among human populations, with 98 % of the U.S. population having detectable concentrations of PFAS in their blood (Calafat et al., 2007; National Center for Environmental Health Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 2023).

Data from the study.

At this point everything on earth is contaminated with PFAS, PFOS, PFOA etc etc.

For too long gov’ts just let the industries do what they wanted without any real oversight.

Probably all of the above.

Musk has new friends now.

It was still mentioned at the top of the article and you missed it.

It says it right underneath the title.

6 of them anyway. The other 3 seem to be good so far.

Jfc already! How many times does this have to happen before Israel’s supporters fucking see it’s a feature not a bug.

Fuck Bebe, fuck the IDF and fuck every nation that supports this genocide (glares at Biden).

The Finnish Flash could kick their ass.

My mistake. I believed that because Oz is a Commonwealth nation their system of gov’t would be the same as Canada’s. But Australia has a mix of UK Westminster style and US Congress style. They do still have a Governor General who represents the monarchy tho.

Probably because it’s proprietary to TransUnion. Needless to say it’s powerful and thorough.

Not if it’s an estranged husband/wife looking for retribution, or a stalker, etc. Lots of individuals would be interested in a single person’s info.

Australia is a Commonwealth nation so they follow the Westminster style … the same as Britain, Canada, etc. Senators would not be elected, they are appointed, and act as a check on Parliament.

The Australian Labor party has strict penalties for those who undermine its collective positions, and acts of defiance can lead to expulsion - a precedent with a 130-year history.

This is not unique to Auzzie politics. AFAIK every Westernized nation’s parties follow the same rule.

My question is if your nation touts its democracy as the best thing since sliced bread, how do you mesh that with dictatorial leadership forcing politicians to vote along party lines, especially on something like this?

Enforced conformity is about as undemocratic as it gets, yet I don’t see any big names standing up against it.
