The unnamed misogynistic culture involved does not belong in this country. Woz, Parramatta Park Re: Sean McGinn (CP, 4/9). Oil is a natural hydrocarbon that seeps from the sea floor in places. Microscopic organisms feast on it and then get eaten by larger creatures. It is part of the food chain and nowhere near as scary as alarmists pretend it is.

Whynot, Machans Beach Just wondering how it feels sleeping on a tree branch with hundreds of flying foxes around you. Maybe one of the activists should sleep on the tree near the library and tell us how it feels. Now that’ll be out of your comfort zone ... just saying.

It can be a place where they can embrace and learn new skills, arts, crafts, woodwork, as well as a couple of old cars for the mechanically inclined. Also sewing machines. It’s doable.
