So Alcoa illegally cleared the ONLY Jarrah Forests in the whole world, paid the govt a bribe and are allowed to keep clearing. The fact each individual old growth tree the wood was worth about 50k. We now have no old growth , they decimated 3 different species.of animals .

We also have to consider that LC covers a massive range of post-viral symptoms, but the image of LC is largely the Fatigue/Brain Fog types. But do you know anyone who didn’t get their sense of smell back? Suddenly developed heart palpitations? Seems weirdly sick all the time now? Guess what.
