  • He is now living with his parents in a five-bedroom waterfront mansion in QLD

The waterfront five-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion in Pelican Waters on the Sunshine Coast also comes with a freestanding aquarium, vacuumaid, a triple lock garage and a private jetty, The Courier-Mail reported.

An average household in Australia emits 14 tonnes of carbon each year.

While it can be hard to determine the exact carbon footprint of a household it is widely accepted a larger house emits more.

Herbert has claimed on social media that he does not live with his parents, but during his first court appearance in June, the climate activist told the magistrate he lived with his parents who supported him.

He should be thankful he can even do something like that, and get away with it. Try do something like that in China, and then you are literally stuck there while they beat and torture you. There is stupid and then there is real stupid. This is really, really stupid.

I wonder what those lovely foam mats are made from that are insulating their bodies from the cold road surface?

Typical hypocrite, with parental support.

At 20, his reasoning brain hasn’t finished developing, so kids will do dumb things!

Really, we should just leave them out to commune with nature. It’s Australia. They’ll either die from exposure within about 30 minutes in summer or we can hurry it along a bit with a bucket of angry meat ants tipped over themselves when the glue has been set.

Extinction rebellion……the dumbest bunch of overly-heated, drivel vomiting, moron zombie nuff nuffs to ever walk the face of the Earth.

Of course he was entitled to protest!

It wasn’t him that was spewing the emissions, it was his parents! 😉

Cheers

ps Of course if he had decent teachers at school, he would have understood this.

Looking for meaning in his Life meaningless Life
The Left feeds on these types like the devil after souls.
Offering them “meaning” by gluing themselves to a road.
Stupid to you and me. But to him?
He probably was raised to have everything he needed, except responsibility.
The Greentards adults with an agenda thrive on these “spoiled” kids.
Like an Epstein kid, they use them. Then throw them away.
10 years ago it was the Occupy Wall Street hippies. Where are they now?

The best lesson a parent can teach their children is to find meaning through responsibility and independence.
Canadian clinical psychologist Dr Jordan Peterson has a message for this lost young man.

This worldwide protest insanity has to be dealt with. People that break the law need to be punished.

Roger Surf July 21. Yeas we should not always blame the child, he is the product of both the school, almost certainly a private one, and his parents, who going on the size of the house, have taken full advantage of our Fossil Fuel driven civilisation.

The idiot has willfully inconvenienced others and will deserve no sympathy if he is just left there to freeze or boil. Perhaps a trail of sugar can be lead from him to the local bull ant nest where the slightest tweak could see a rather painful outcome. Any of his little SJW friends will cop the wrath of the bull ants too. Remind the little luvvies that killing any creature is a no-no, even an ant or cockroach.
The teaching in my day made us aware of such pseudoscience and witch hunts in days of old. The teachers obviously failed primary school and have been unleashed on the young to spread propaganda.

The Daily Mail article mentions that he had a conviction recorded for one of his little pranks.

Well done, Sunshine.

Mummy and Daddy might be willing to pay your little collection of fines, but that conviction is now on your record. This will hang over your head for the rest of your life. Sure, in 20 years time it might be dismissed as something that was a folly of youth and happened a long time in your past, but… well it hasn’t been 20 years yet, has it?

Better hope Mummy and Daddy are understanding. You might be living with them for a long time because good luck getting yourself a job or even actually leaving the country.

Hope it was worth it.

Well to be fair to the lad, as the ugly member of the triplets, when you have two sisters as attractive as he does, you have to do something daft to get attention, if that is your ambition.
One other thing, apart from sticking skin together, has anyone ever managed to get supper glue to stick to anything else?

Queensland, perfect one day, watermelons the next. Where’s that “Queenslander spirit?” You cant even win the State of Origen, your courts completely disregard your rights and wishes re this Brisbane swill, and when a bunch of hippies invade your properties you go crying to the press saying “Oh we were so terrified”…weak. You guys voted for it, now you get to enjoy it.
Think harder next time you get to vote. “Voting has consequences.”

If I was his mother I would banish him to a yurt at the end of the garden and try living without fossil fuels for a while: which would include winter. He would have to decide for himself about the ethics of burning wood.

If one really believes that the burning of fossil fuels is bad then one stop making use of all goods and services that make use in any way of fossil fuels and he apparently is not doing that.

How they must curse their fate as they tuck him in each night.

But having said that, him moving out won’t reduce their carbon footprint – it will only increase his own. (Not that it matters to the real world.)

When he grows up he will look back with embarrassment, but regret only the publicity.

A number of the letters to the Editor of the Brisbane Courier Mail picked up on the point that the Magistrates dealing with his court appearances declined to impose a conviction and fined the offender.
The fines commonly went unpaid but a conviction had the consequences of limiting international travel.
On July 11, after ‘Serge’ obstructed the entrance to the Magistrates Court ( as well as inconveniencing other citizens) a conviction was entered.
Perhaps Serge presently doesn’t intend to visit the US and other countries but later in life he may regret his extremism particularly if the world does not end in 2030.

It is not Aussie spirit to sit around and gang bang the parents, the home, the boat, the school, the lad’s idealism. Some of you are putting in the boot without much knowledge of the circumstances. Suggest you concentrate your criticism more on the underlying causes that upset most of us.
After all, our home was of this class before we downsized. Not unusual for hard workers. No boat, preferred the corporate jet.
Keep it civil and be well informed before you lash out, eh?
