Kalamunda is suburbia with a view
An indication of the mountain he has set himself to scale,

So, the artist 'mic' wanted someone to religiously challenge his work.
I don't mind that as art goes. Bit sensationalist. But i hope the artist didn't get paid a heap of money to beautify a grey cement wall only for the place to end up with a grey cement wall.
I've thought for a little while now that we should treat it like ANZAC day. The beginning of the day is reserved for ceremony and respectful reflection, which is followed by gradually more social things, like a community breakfast, then by lunch a more celebratory tone is adopted.
In this way the day comes round to identifying with all the emotions someone may hold in themselves about this place.
Whats the mural?
Exactly what i thought. It immediately made mebthinkbabout David Graeber's book, Bulls**t Jobs.

I've waited long enough, heres the archived link.
There is nothing these reactionaries love more than a culture war. "Dig in everyone, those woke oligarchs over at Woolworths don't want to sell us overpriced single use plastic anymore!"
What woolworths should do is come back at these wombats with an offer to supply and deliver all the cheap aussie day plates, and hats, and capes they want but woth marked up prices that cover all costs, plus a healthy profit, then publish which, (if any) take them up on the offer.

Everywhere with enough built in spare capacity for a relative sized population, at least. Which if they deem Esperance as too small and unpopular a destination for that kind of investment, then i question telstra's decision makers/model.
So they're still using the site. And for two interesting projects. Cheers
Low population means no incentive for privately funded infrastructure for those few times of high demand?
The thing i don't understand about the article, is the reporter hasn't asked a key question. Telstra says there shouldn't be an issue with texting, but the shop owner says there are issues with texting. Are they taljing across each other there? Ie is the shop owner actually using fb, or another data based service?
That'll make the second refinery to close there in the last few years. The other was BP. Different products yes, but it means WA is shrinking away from vertical integration of the supply chain in those areas, not expanding it like we should want to be doing to be less dependent on world narket prices.
I wonder if Australia would halt funding to a UN agency that primarily helped Israeli's, (in a time of overwhelming need), if we found some workers were celebrating the deaths of Palestinians... i can't imagine that happening.
If the mission of the agency is still being carried out, isn't that the metric we should primarily refer to?
Theres plenty of disgusting people in this world, we can't afford to have the bar of association so high, the costs are yet greater. Are we just being hypocrites?
