Dolphins Slaughtered as Bait and Diversions

Ethan Switch - Friday, 28 November 2003 - 10:09:26 - print it raw

Given a new lease of power recenlty in a late night session passing some other kind of bill around, the Australian Protective Services and the Australian Federal Police. Officers are supposedly given more power to take care of Australia's airports and from acts of terrorism.

The Bill will give extra powers to APS and AFP officers:

  • To request a person's name, address, identification and reason for being in or near a place the officers are protecting;
  • To stop, detain and search a person in or near such a place, and
  • To seize things that are likely to cause death or serious harm.

And so while the focus momentarily shifts toward the skies, dolphins have been found dead on an Indonesian fishing boat. "Dolphins are used as bait to catch sharks, which then have their fins removed to be sold on to the lucrative Asian markets. This is a purely commercial operation, and one without any consideration for the environment." said Senator Ian Macdonald of the HMAS Bendigo find south west of Cape Wessels, over 100nm inside Australia's Fishing Zone.

Red Riding Trilogy
This is an attempt to understand the newish British television series Red Riding. Due to the regional accents, the muttering, the byzantine plot, and that British inability to provide subtitles, I am writing a detailed synopsis to get my head around this excellent television show. In short, it is nothing but spoilers, spoilers, spoilers...
Kitchen Antics - Chicken in Faux Ragoût
Ladder of flavour? A few rungs above bland. This can be constructed & delivered in less than 30 minutes, depending on your aptitude with a knife.
Lassitude abandons the Throwing Knives
Down on the chamber pot, the percolating smells brew up quite the nasal fest. From the wafting fumes, the air solidifies partial sweaty rock and musty punk, a taste hinting at delicious pockets of after-aftertaste, and the not so floral punch of an undone music interview leaves the tongue wanting something else.

Every detail makes the story worth following somewhere. Cooking up microfiction and life lessons as we review film, music, books, theatre and other aspects of culture.
It's all intrigue and conspiracy.
