russell ritchings: +Daniel it is a sad state of affairs, sadly I think it is going to get worse, what I mean, is that you say anything about anybody/any-group, and that person/group don't agree with what you say, you end up either a raciest, or some kind of ignorant xenophobe.

Tom and 9 others: Who cares, if it taste good why worry about any difference, as long as its cold, bloody auto correct

Jennifer Bucholtz: Who Care's..
Never drank any of that crap or anything..

russell ritchings: +Kamal Tailor National crime figures.

Kamal Tailor: +russell ritchings those don't paint the whole picture. At least you acknowledged the fact it isn't just African kids. There are kids of other backgrounds involved.

Rob Cortes: I will do as I already do with my beautiful, rebellious 4 year old daughter - I sit down with her and discuss her issues and possible unacceptable behaviour.
If that doesn’t work when she becomes a teenager, I already have a very nice convent that I know I will be very comfortable in her attending.

Daniel: +Ilona O where on God's green earth do you get the info from, lady it's just you are ranting stupid 66 gazillion, Jews were gassed, only 6 million.

You find it hard to understand that there two sides to a coin and Palestinians are playing the victim every time they launch missiles into Israel from built up Palestinian areas knowing Jews will respond by destroying the launchers and Palestinians get killed and Hamas cried victim when they set the launchers up to begin with, talk about stupid propaganda by Hamas

Shayne Lenin: +Daniel hey dipshit.

We all know Uluru is special, but few of us know how it was formed millions of years ago.

russell ritchings: So more hard hitting news from the ABC. And besides Uluru, is but a baby compared to one in Western Australia. It makes Uluru look like a pebble.

Peter Kelley: Although the ABC sometimes has lightweight fluff pieces there is actually some science in this one. I'd love to see some geology lectures along the lines of the ones that Nick Zenter did for Central Washington University (search on YouTube) but from an Australian perspective.

John Lomax: W.D.s out .

Get your child into the outdoors if you want to help them avoid having vision issues later in life.

7.30 | http://ab.co/2qDy3o8

Kids are spending less time outdoors — and it's causing short-sightedness

abc.net.au

Mya Mi: once upon a time the 7:30 report did hard hitting journalism, and a stellar job at that.

now it's just overrun with human interest stories that state the obvious. malcolm turdball is a polished criminal. he has absolutely taken a chainsaw to the nbn at the behest of rupert murdoch.

he has multiple investment properties and therefore a disincentive to tackle australia's housing crisis, and is privatizing the country by stealth by outsourcing government jobs to private corporations such as using serco to handle centerlink calls. did 7:30 cover that story?

malcolm turdball does a little dance at a homeless shelter on xmas day to add to the veneer of "compassionate philanthrocapitalist" so that the public feel a heart warming tingle and embraces trickle down economics.

the politicians who are destroying the country today had FREE education in their day. now people are so desperate that when they are sick they are dipping into their super to pay for medical bills. it doesn't help that the lnp have taken a sledge hammer to medicare too.

turnbull also abuses his power by using the australian federal police as an extension of his might to smear his political opponents. this is what the russian communist party did, and also nazi germany.

turnbull lusts for the opportunity to proclaim that the chinese are coming for you like the black african gangs, and it the terms "chinese" and "black african" must be re-emphasized to ensure that the "White Australia Policy" is once again enshrined in law again and that coloured people, black, brown, yellow, are shipped of to an island prison where children get molested. "embrace the inner racist my underlings, you must openly sing: fuck off we're full"..anything to steal a vote from pauline hanson.

greedy, filthy rich politicians cry "small government, that's our agenda"...well then, why the hell are they getting our taxpayer money? politicians should reduce their own pay-packets (which increase with inflation, yet ours don't) before gutting the services of the people.

the government DOES NOT represent us, it sees common folk as the enemy, even though the government should be for the people, of the people, by the people.

yes 7:30, there is a problem with myopia. please get your eyes checked at once.

The Antz Inya Pantz HQ coffee shop in Perth opened without offering disposable coffee cups, and co-owner Craig Muzeroll says the business saved 70,000 cups from ending up in landfill. #WarOnWasteAU

Can coffee shops ban disposable cups and stay in business?

Puppet Master: No.
Just make the cups and lids more environment friendly.
Simple as that. The options are already here.
This is just bullshit.

russell ritchings: You all know that a biodegradable Plastic can be derived from hemp and the cups could be made from hemp fibres as well.

Daniel: What toxins go into making these reusable cups, cups made out of some sort of China get washed and reused, why cry about it
