I have a general disdain for cane farmers. I'm sure there's some genuinely good ones but most I've ever spoken to gripe me to no end. One, who was the head of a board I forget, was especially painful to listen to. Complained about the losses over the last decade to the point where he lost money every year. Complained about the low yields and depleted soil and the amount of fertilizer he had to use. Asked him why he didn't rotate or let any of the paddocks rest and go fallow for a season or cover crop, "missing out on profit". Asked him if he had tried diversifying his crop, "yeah, tried pawpaw on a small plot, they grew well and made a good bit of money......was too much hard work." Dude had two sheds, one with two boats, not little tinnie's, proper boats, the other had machinery he owned and would rent out to other farmers. His plan was to retire let his son inherit the sandpit he created because doing something different was "too much hard work."

@@czarkusa2018 I mean, humans have been doing crop rotation waaaaay before monoculture so you've missed the mark on that one. Arguably a farmer that can't make a profit isn't able to do their job either and an "intellectual" that specialises in say, soil microbiology, that has an understanding of how to keep soil healthy and this plants grown in that soil healthy can only offer that knowledge. It's up to farmers whether they take it or not.
Spot on about Landcare groups. They're all over the place and are usually based around someone reading the actual science and working out where their local area needs more trees or what wildlife needs support and the best way to make it happen.
I've worked on different farms and I'm currently a migratory beekeeper, I get to see how different farmers and techniques seem to play out across the landscape. There's a huge difference between switched on farmers and a those that just want to sit on a tractor and spray stuff. Not to mention corporate farms which are a whole extra level of fucked.
@@danpaz9485 Mangroves provide a buffer (usually) between mud flats & the sea, they're vital for Birdlife & fish hatcheries, Snapper, Kingys allsorts.. Which inturn provide the fishing industry with (over) catching. Where I live is a gulf & they've put up so many marinas & seawalls...now the gulf can't clean itself (longshore drift). Mangroves are up the shallow end & slowly dieing as a result.

I went to Uni with a guy who was massive into student politics and was constantly on your case for not being involved in Young LNP etc. Anyway, after failing too many Earth Science subjects he transferred to a differnt Uni (he was obviously too smart for the genius level brains at QUT). Fast forward a few years he got his degree and was working in the Bowen Basin as a Geo. I would see clips of him on Sky News talking about the Green Shirts Movement, turns out he had transferred his energies from Young LNP into the GSM. Fast forward a few more years to 2022, turns out he was running for QLD State Government. He won the seat of Callide. Goes to show that the "smartest" people you know from Uni will end up in State Parliament.

FJ, shit take on Digimon, but the reef topic was great to see some coverage. Anyway, I'm from FNQ, and our clan group has been lucky enough to secure Gov funding. We're looking after our sea country, and one aspect of that is tending to our mangrove ecosystems. We're trying our best to rehabilitate our sea country. We regularly hold community events to share knowledge and work with each other as well ✌️
Boy do I have some stories, I live deep in sugar cane katter country and talk to these farmers regularly to get property access for wildlife photography. I swear the whole area has lead in the water because they are some interesting characters
Not related to the video but I learned that in Aus the bandits back in the day were called “bush rangers.” The whole time homie was telling me a story i thought she was talking about game rangers mugging and killing people. I even asked were they killing poachers and rouge animals. She replied no they were killing normal folk and poaching. I just imagined a dude robbing people while on safari
I havent seen digimon but I’ve heard that the third season was written by a Cthulhu writer and apparently it showed a lot and kind of traumatized some kids with its creepy concepts and I’m assuming that why its cult-popular and also it did this thing where the first and second season of digimon was recontextualise as being an in-universe tv show in the third season of digimon so thats pretty inceptiony for a kids show from the sounds of it anyway.
Pretty sure all states/territories have Labor in (we don't count Tassie), but there are still electorates (e.g. Bowman, which contains Toondah) that have liberal MPs who would want such developments to go ahead. We should just ban high rises near the beach; Luke Howarth has ruined Redcliffe by cramming it with ugly high-rises without improving the roads to accommodate for the influx of people. Sandgate on the other hand is a beautiful place, despite being right next door. This is because it's had a Labor MP since 1960 (barring 4 years from 2012-2015), and as a result it's not a disgusting shitfest. I really hope Plibersek blocks the developers from killing a necessary ecosystem in Toondah; the last thing we need is another series of ugly, uninspiring tourist locations on the water so that upper-middle class mums can drink overpriced coffee and complain about how easy their lives are.
I guess I'm a dork too (and not just because I've been playing 40k for 30+ years), as when you were talking about coral in aquariums I was like" All the folks I know who try marine tanks are like "I didn't look at the chemistry in the tank for a day and everything died". So I was sceptical of the ability of those trying to save coral in breeding tanks. The mangrove is probably a good idea. I keep a tropical aquarium. I'm always told about the chemistry of it and the microbiology I need to maintain in the filter system. Instead I just have a pump that recycles the water fast, _heaps_ of plants and a low stock of fish. It's amazing how having a lot of plants helps correct imbalance before it happens. Of course when it comes to the environment, maybe if we stopped mowing down forests, using rivers as sewers and oceans as toilets might be a good thing to. That seems to be completely beyond us though.
Also: for people who whinge about dole bludgers so much, farmers sure are quick to snap up the latest government hand outs that turn up like clock work.
Dead on point J.. as a Queenslander.. its appauling that all the fertile land is used primarily to grow one plant that is nearly an addictive drug.. its appauling.
Digimon was and still is awesome. The original English dub of the show handled mature themes and taught me valuable stuff. It's alright that you don't like it, but you just didn't experience it at the right time. I related a lot to the struggles between the main characters and their personal relationships
MOM, IM IMORTALIZED IN A FRIENDLYJORDIES VIDEO WHAT THE FU--- Seriously though, it is a great honor to be featured in one of the greatest modern-day journalist's videos, even if it is for what is a divergence of opinions.
oh mate from beginning to end you had me hooked. Banger after banger. Sucks about the Greenshirts and their silly ideas, but damn that was a great video
I hope you can curb the sugar growers, but as an American I'd say you're better off relying on cane sugar than if they were growing corn. Most of the 'sugar' here has been replaced with HFCS, and it's killing us.
Back in the minority government days, the Palaszczuk Government's first loss in parliament was on sugar industry regulation. So yeah, if sugar ends up bringing down the government, it wouldn't surprise me.
You're so right the only time I sat down to watch maybe a minute of Digimon was when I realized they were going to replay dragon Ball z all over again after the beginning fight of the Frieza saga.
Yeah yeah the reefs are great and all but this sledging at Digimon has gone too far mate. Digimon was peak 2000's anime and was WAY better than Pokemon at the time. All of the kids agreed that (at the time) while Pokemon had better games, Digimon had a better anime.
I’m Aus, but I’ve been working in the US since I graduated year 12. I’m coming back in a few years and this vid has me a bit concerned about the need for hearing protection if I live anywhere those green shirts are.
@@Kage-jk4pjthey had a slew of good dames although that's only the digimon world series and cyber sleuth but still the franchise has a few hidden gems. but the show sucks which is saddening none of the plots or characters where engaging it was like watching family guy without the humor
The closing down of farms is worldwide. Food security ought to be everyone's first priority. If we have worldwide food shortages it will have been deliberate.
Yes, food security is of the highest importance but food cannot be grown on a dying planet. We can adjust our eating patterns and habits. Not all food producers, manufacturers and makers care about the food - it’s just a commodity to acquire wealth. Is soft drink such an important “food”? That’s where the majority of sugar is used for. One consumer shift in their diet will make a difference to the environment… and their health 🤷♀️
I swear to god I knew one kid from my primary school that was a fan of Digimon and he looked EXACTLY like Milhouse. And somehow he was more of a dork! HOW?
The thing is sugarcane is actually the lesser evil. All the other crop types that are able to be grown in the harsh climate of NQ, and remain financially viable require a lot more fertiliser and chemicals compared to sugarcane eg. bananas, papaya, capsicum, melons, pumpkins - which are all grown up here but on a much smaller scale. Sugar cane grown well with a legume crop rotation during the fallow period is likely one of the best possible agricultural land uses for the local environment and waterways outside of restoring them to their natural habitat. Sugarcane is the most dominant industry because it is a low risk crop that can grow on some of our marginal soils and can still be harvested after a cyclone or flood which we experience yearly (floods at least). Yes there are always cowboys no matter what the industry is, but there are plenty doing the right thing, you just dont hear them speak up as much. Land values up here are going through the roof and at the current rates, it is likely that sugar wont be profitable enough per hectare to pay the cost of the loan, so land use will likely change or you will see a boom in corporate farm expansion. In my opinion both are likely to result in a worse outcome environmentally to the family run farm.
I love digimon If you don't, that's fine, lol It was never outstanding, but most things from our childhood weren't, lol But we can all agree that reefs are worth protecting
Blow ins reminded me of a farmer I know on 50 acres, bordering a river and the blow ins coming on his land to fish and threatening them that if they didn’t get off his backyard he was going to get his shotgun.
Which I know is a huge oversimplification but the thing about that is, you can’t just have everybody doing whatever they think or else you eventually get back to the problem you’re trying to solve… just the long way around…

Bro, the great coral reef Is gettting an update 1:50 😂
FJ, shit take on Digimon, but the reef topic was great to see some coverage. Anyway, I'm from FNQ, and our clan group has been lucky enough to secure Gov funding. We're looking after our sea country, and one aspect of that is tending to our mangrove ecosystems. We're trying our best to rehabilitate our sea country. We regularly hold community events to share knowledge and work with each other as well ✌️
Gah damn this jordies fella only becomes more and more likeable the more i watch
Those are some fighting words.
The first 3 seasons of Digimon were really good.
I’m not convinced friendlyjordies can grow a moustache
Petition for more aquarium related content. Come on Jordy don't leave us all hanging
Thanks for the info, live in cairns gordenvale is just down the road and signed up for their news letter. I'll se what I can do.
Digimon was the first many kids got to a continuous storyline for an anime that many kids had. So it's goated for that
As a kid from a dairy farm in FNQ I was dying laughing at your farmer impersonation 😂😂
Great barrier reef: too hot to handle🔥 young single corals mingle in a tropical island lagoon to see who can hook up/pollinate/whatever the most.
Jordies coming at us straight out of the 80's
8:55 Unmatched intelligence and critical thinking here, simply a cut above the rest.
Boy do I have some stories, I live deep in sugar cane katter country and talk to these farmers regularly to get property access for wildlife photography. I swear the whole area has lead in the water because they are some interesting characters
If there’s one thing Australians in general seem to love doing, it’s shouting
Not related to the video but I learned that in Aus the bandits back in the day were called “bush rangers.” The whole time homie was telling me a story i thought she was talking about game rangers mugging and killing people. I even asked were they killing poachers and rouge animals. She replied no they were killing normal folk and poaching. I just imagined a dude robbing people while on safari

Girls love Digimon!
I havent seen digimon but I’ve heard that the third season was written by a Cthulhu writer and apparently it showed a lot and kind of traumatized some kids with its creepy concepts and I’m assuming that why its cult-popular and also it did this thing where the first and second season of digimon was recontextualise as being an in-universe tv show in the third season of digimon so thats pretty inceptiony for a kids show from the sounds of it anyway.
Digimon DS games were mint.
Nirvana was good too
FriendlyJordies yew just maede 'a enemy for life
I definitely gotta sample the scream at 11:51 in a song someday. Absolutely brutal
Lettuce pray that Toondah Harbour is safe from the avaricious hands of property developers.
Pretty sure all states/territories have Labor in (we don't count Tassie), but there are still electorates (e.g. Bowman, which contains Toondah) that have liberal MPs who would want such developments to go ahead. We should just ban high rises near the beach; Luke Howarth has ruined Redcliffe by cramming it with ugly high-rises without improving the roads to accommodate for the influx of people. Sandgate on the other hand is a beautiful place, despite being right next door. This is because it's had a Labor MP since 1960 (barring 4 years from 2012-2015), and as a result it's not a disgusting shitfest.
I really hope Plibersek blocks the developers from killing a necessary ecosystem in Toondah; the last thing we need is another series of ugly, uninspiring tourist locations on the water so that upper-middle class mums can drink overpriced coffee and complain about how easy their lives are.
that echo fade out of upset made the video, top work editors Jordie give em a fucking raise man
Friendlyjordies appealing to new niche markets, next uploads gonna be about the benefits of hardscaping 😂
I guess I'm a dork too (and not just because I've been playing 40k for 30+ years), as when you were talking about coral in aquariums I was like" All the folks I know who try marine tanks are like "I didn't look at the chemistry in the tank for a day and everything died". So I was sceptical of the ability of those trying to save coral in breeding tanks.
The mangrove is probably a good idea. I keep a tropical aquarium. I'm always told about the chemistry of it and the microbiology I need to maintain in the filter system. Instead I just have a pump that recycles the water fast, _heaps_ of plants and a low stock of fish. It's amazing how having a lot of plants helps correct imbalance before it happens.
Of course when it comes to the environment, maybe if we stopped mowing down forests, using rivers as sewers and oceans as toilets might be a good thing to. That seems to be completely beyond us though.
Also: for people who whinge about dole bludgers so much, farmers sure are quick to snap up the latest government hand outs that turn up like clock work.
Up at 2 am in Colorado!! To watch jordies!! Then get ready for work😅👍🏼👍🏼
Dead on point J.. as a Queenslander.. its appauling that all the fertile land is used primarily to grow one plant that is nearly an addictive drug.. its appauling.
Ah yes first they did a march of the green shirts, then they came for reef and the trees good thing jordies is saying something
Used to live next to an estuary mangrove forest. As in 8m from my bedroom were mangrove
I like Digimon and nobody can take that away from me.
"Digimon sucked, fuck this show"
Gotta respect Jordies being brutally honest and not sugarcoating opinion, bro got balls of steel
It's the Nirvana thing I have a problem with ...
@@VanillaMacaron551lol why
Digimon did kinda suck though.
@@ScubesFTW Did saban not localize Digimon in the aussie states or something?
Digimon was and still is awesome. The original English dub of the show handled mature themes and taught me valuable stuff. It's alright that you don't like it, but you just didn't experience it at the right time. I related a lot to the struggles between the main characters and their personal relationships
Digimon is basically Mum: "we already have Pokemon at home"
When you start criticising Pokémon and Digimon equally, I’ll start listening 😤😤😤
Missed opportunity calling him Luigi being the taller skinny one that wears a green shirt
Yo Digimon Seasons 1 and 2 were fire~ How dare you
“Pissing off all the digimon people”
Yup. All 16 of them.
WarGreymon can do worse than a fire bomb Jorden... id be careful what you say about Digimon mate.
Did you miss the fact the cane farms use Glyphosphate to ripen the cane that is then made into sugar? Yeah that scared the shit out of me too...
MOM, IM IMORTALIZED IN A FRIENDLYJORDIES VIDEO WHAT THE FU---
Seriously though, it is a great honor to be featured in one of the greatest modern-day journalist's videos, even if it is for what is a divergence of opinions.

oh mate from beginning to end you had me hooked. Banger after banger. Sucks about the Greenshirts and their silly ideas, but damn that was a great video
I hope you can curb the sugar growers, but as an American I'd say you're better off relying on cane sugar than if they were growing corn. Most of the 'sugar' here has been replaced with HFCS, and it's killing us.
I know Kiwis eat roots and leaves but I didn't know grassroots.
"We ain't fascist we just like them symbol"- Green Shirts
Back in the minority government days, the Palaszczuk Government's first loss in parliament was on sugar industry regulation. So yeah, if sugar ends up bringing down the government, it wouldn't surprise me.
I. Love. Digimon. The story line of s1 and s2 were 100 million times better than the pokemon series ever was!
Don't forget Tri.
@@GegoXaren I need to rewatch it. But yes! Also Tri!!
@@CapsuleCorpxz
The worst was Frontier... Gawd I hate Frontier.
@@GegoXaren it was garbage. But I liked the theme song
Better than the plot line of "Pikachu use thunder bolt" and "we're blasting off again..." each episode?
kept eyeing up that jacket the whole video. I want one
Jordan committed to the tamagotchi joke so hard he even dressed like one. Respect.
(Just kidding it’s a great jacket 👍🏻)
You're so right the only time I sat down to watch maybe a minute of Digimon was when I realized they were going to replay dragon Ball z all over again after the beginning fight of the Frieza saga.
It's sad what's happening to the reef, I've always found them to be very beautiful
It's been 22.3 years. The Kurt's mind being blown line is funny
Yeah yeah the reefs are great and all but this sledging at Digimon has gone too far mate. Digimon was peak 2000's anime and was WAY better than Pokemon at the time. All of the kids agreed that (at the time) while Pokemon had better games, Digimon had a better anime.

@@Zenith_Star69 You grew up watching Hamtaro and it shows
I’m Aus, but I’ve been working in the US since I graduated year 12.
I’m coming back in a few years and this vid has me a bit concerned about the need for hearing protection if I live anywhere those green shirts are.
How dare you Jordies, Digimon is tops.
Yes, we all agree that more needs to be done for our coral reefs. But in the meantime, the Digimon slander needs to stop.
@@Kage-jk4pjthey had a slew of good dames although that's only the digimon world series and cyber sleuth but still the franchise has a few hidden gems.
but the show sucks which is saddening none of the plots or characters where engaging it was like watching family guy without the humor
People actually watched Digimon when Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! Were right there??
could watch all of them, they were All in the afternoon programme
Counterpoint, it fell way behind Pokémon in catching the next generations.
Holy shit. That ‘blow-in’ conversation. Chefs kiss.
Sorry Jordan, I can't support you anymore.
You've crossed the line with the anti-Digimon rhetoric
It somehow always comes back to a lack of education and people not willing to accept science based information.
The best Cheez TV line up was Digimon Pokemon DBZ. And that is also the order of best to worst show.
The closing down of farms is worldwide. Food security ought to be everyone's first priority. If we have worldwide food shortages it will have been deliberate.
Yes, food security is of the highest importance but food cannot be grown on a dying planet.
We can adjust our eating patterns and habits.
Not all food producers, manufacturers and makers care about the food - it’s just a commodity to acquire wealth.
Is soft drink such an important “food”? That’s where the majority of sugar is used for.
One consumer shift in their diet will make a difference to the environment… and their health 🤷♀️
And food growers must adjust their methods.
I swear to god I knew one kid from my primary school that was a fan of Digimon and he looked EXACTLY like Milhouse.
And somehow he was more of a dork! HOW?
I was in highschool with this little bloke with big as fk ears..
His last name was Shoemaker!!!
Yeah he copped it!!
The thing is sugarcane is actually the lesser evil. All the other crop types that are able to be grown in the harsh climate of NQ, and remain financially viable require a lot more fertiliser and chemicals compared to sugarcane eg. bananas, papaya, capsicum, melons, pumpkins - which are all grown up here but on a much smaller scale. Sugar cane grown well with a legume crop rotation during the fallow period is likely one of the best possible agricultural land uses for the local environment and waterways outside of restoring them to their natural habitat. Sugarcane is the most dominant industry because it is a low risk crop that can grow on some of our marginal soils and can still be harvested after a cyclone or flood which we experience yearly (floods at least). Yes there are always cowboys no matter what the industry is, but there are plenty doing the right thing, you just dont hear them speak up as much. Land values up here are going through the roof and at the current rates, it is likely that sugar wont be profitable enough per hectare to pay the cost of the loan, so land use will likely change or you will see a boom in corporate farm expansion. In my opinion both are likely to result in a worse outcome environmentally to the family run farm.
I love digimon
If you don't, that's fine, lol
It was never outstanding, but most things from our childhood weren't, lol
But we can all agree that reefs are worth protecting
Blow ins reminded me of a farmer I know on 50 acres, bordering a river and the blow ins coming on his land to fish and threatening them that if they didn’t get off his backyard he was going to get his shotgun.
You've crossed the line this time 😤
Which I know is a huge oversimplification but the thing about that is, you can’t just have everybody doing whatever they think or else you eventually get back to the problem you’re trying to solve… just the long way around…
