ocean NIMBYs can fuck off

Interesting framing by the ABC, calling the town of Seaspray “tiny”, but the developer a “giant” and the offshore turbines “towering”. In the accompanying image, even with the towers coloured red for “illustrative purposes” (ie. otherwise you might not be able to see them) the towers look tiny.
