News with Sean 4-25-2025 ...Think Fire Ants are Bad? What till you hear about Hell Ants

Daniel and Wilbur are back in the SHACK and are sick of hearing about Big Government tyrannical takeover, dousing us with chemicals and toxins but for your own HEALTH AND SAFETY! There is an invasive fire ant species found in Australia and their governments solution is to kill every living thing known to man in order to deal with it. Do you think there is a better solution? Well too bad, you don't know any better, you're not an expert, are you? Government knows all and if you don't comply, we will fine you, put you in jail, or in a nice camp where you can spend the rest of your life with your fellow insubordinate neighbors. All over fire ants..............Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

G'day Folks, On this episode we re-visit the fiasco that is the Fire Ant Eradication Program by the Queensland Government. More has happened since our last show in June 2024. Government Overreach & Property Rights The episode revisits the ongoing “fire ant fiasco,” with guests highlighting how the government has been conducting chemical spraying across Queensland with minimal consultation. Dr. Conny Turni shares her experience of having her property sprayed without proper consent, where officials assumed silence as consent. The discussion underscores a dangerous precedent where residents' rights are being undermined in the name of pest control. Environmental & Health Risks Both guests raise alarm over the environmental devastation caused by the chemicals used in the program. They describe the impact on native ant species, soil health, frogs, and waterways, citing studies that link these chemicals to endocrine disruption and bioaccumulation in the food chain. Despite this, no thorough environmental risk assessments have been conducted—especially shocking given the massive 830,000-hectare spray zone. Flawed Execution & Wasteful Spending The government's eradication strategy is criticized as inconsistent and ineffective. Sarah McGuire outlines how $1.5 billion has been spent over 23 years, yet fire ants are 20 times more widespread. The approach is described as poorly managed, with inexperienced workers treating properties haphazardly and inconsistently—suggesting it functions more as an employment scheme than a serious biosecurity program. Legal Challenges & Civil Disobedience The podcast spotlights the arrest of a woman in Samford Valley who refused to allow chemical treatment on her land. The arrest—despite no confirmed fire ants on the property—sparked outrage and legal action. The hosts argue this represents an attack on civil liberties and are encouraging legal resistance through formal objections, signage, and community solidarity. Viable Alternatives & Grassroots Advocacy Importantly, the episode doesn't just criticize—it offers solutions. The guests promote non-toxic methods, such as a hot water fire ant extermination machine developed in the U.S. and now being trialed in Australia. They also encourage Indigenous involvement, legal resistance, and public support to pressure the government for change. The message is clear: there are safer, smarter ways to deal with fire ants—if only the authorities would listen.

In episode 86 of the Road to Wisdom podcast, Keshia and Chloe sit down with Simon Mulvany from Save the Bees to explore the contentious fire ant eradication program in Queensland. This conversation dives into the ecological, social, and political complexities surrounding the program, shedding light on the propaganda used to instil fear about fire ants and the government's reliance on chemical solutions. Simon critiques the narrow approach to pest control, emphasizing the need for non-toxic alternatives like diatomaceous earth and the role native ants can play in managing fire ant populations naturally. The deeper implications of the eradication program are explored, including its impact on native bee populations and the broader organic farming industry. Simon highlights how the poisoning program has become an industry in itself, raising concerns about transparency and vested interests. He also discusses the legal rights of homeowners who resist forced chemical use, advocating for empowerment and informed decision-making within communities. Chloe, Keshia, and Simon delve into how media narratives and fear campaigns influence public perception of invasive species and pest control. They explore the environmental consequences of heavy chemical use, the introduction of controversial technologies like GMO mosquitoes, and the often-overlooked importance of native bees in maintaining biodiversity. Emphasizing the power of grassroots action and community-led solutions to environmental challenges, Simon underscores the value of organic, local approaches and the importance of public awareness in holding governments and organizations accountable. By prioritizing transparency, biodiversity, and sustainable methods, individuals can push back against harmful policies and advocate for healthier ecosystems.

This was a most unusual death! Dr. Barbara Mack fell backwards onto a fire ant hill and was stung hundreds of times around her neck. Though she is not allergic, receiving that much venom caused a system-wide reaction. In her near death experience, Barbara felt that she left her body and arrived in a very comfortable space, gray, but warm. She observed three beings who loved and cared about her. One of them knew her intimately and she felt comfortable and safe around them. Then she realized she was going to die, and that was OK to her. As soon as she thought this, one of the beings responded, "No, it's not OK. You have to go back!" In addition to discussing her NDE, in this episode we learn about Barbara's experience with her father after he passed away. She is no longer afraid of death.

G'day Folks, The Red Fire Ant was first spotted in Brisbane, Queensland in 2001. Shortly after this a campaign of eradication and fear mind you, began. According to the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries: Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, everyone, including individuals and organisations, has a general biosecurity obligation (GBO) to take all reasonable steps to prevent the spread of fire ants. Queenslanders are legally required to report suspected sightings of fire ants within 24 hours of their discovery, and depending on the nests location take action to treat the pest. If you do not do this, penalties may apply. The National Fire Ant Eradication Program aims to find, contain and destroy fire ants in South East Queensland. Their 10-year Eradication Plan involves ... and i quote "an intensive and targeted eradication effort over South East Queensland, spanning from Lockyer Valley in the west to Redlands in the east, north to Moreton Bay and south to the Gold Coast". So why is this such a big deal? Part of this i believe stems from our history of introduced species wreaking havoc on our local environment and wildlife. Think the cane toad, rabbits and red foxes. Poor decisions were made in the past and there appears to be a stigma. Enter the Red Fire Ant. They do have a painful sting and can attack en mass if a nest is disturbed. Much like most ants we already have such as bull ants, meat ants and green ants. Eradication of an ant species in my humble opinion isn't possible. They're far too resilient. Containment too is also is a fools errand. So why is the Australian Government and Queensland State Government spending hundreds of millions of dollars, if not into the billions now, on trying to eradicate them? What measures are being employed to take on this unwinnable challenge and are they too drastic? Are those eradication measures themselves causing untold damage to sensitive ecosystems, domestic animals, livestock, even people? Well for this episode I am joined by Simon Mulvany from BeeTheCure.com and SaveTheBeesAustralia on Instagram as well as Sarah McGuire, a local Queensland resident turned activist whose town of Samford is in the crosshairs of the National Fire Ant Eradication Program. We aim to hopefully answer some of these questions and give us their testimonies and opinions on the Fire Ant Fiasco. +++++++++ Update: The water testing results have now been made available.
