They tried to make sure she became a 'domestic servant', the forced fate of so many other Aboriginal girls. Her achievements were all won as part of a lifelong, hard fight against ignorant policies, racism and heartless discrimination. An honourable woman.

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT IN THAILAND Thailand is living one of the most extreme months in history with records smashed all 28 days of the month. Today Bangkok had a minimum of 28.3C HOTTEST FEBRUARY NIGHT IN HISTORY

Monthly CPI inflation update for January. Oops.

Woodside is looking for a new CEO, so we thought we'd lend them a hand 🙌

Bunch of difficult if not impossible women at NSW Parliament House today to hear NSW Minister for Police and Counter Terrorism Yasmin Catley being asked a few questions. We are used to knitting under all conditions and just about anywhere but this was hard going! www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

leachie geckos look like grandma couches that got moldy and came to life

Cory Bernardi (who else) giving the usual disinfo line in support of optional preferential voting. Compulsory preferencing does not force anyone to "vote for" a party they do not like. It only requires that a voter rank all candidates. #saparli

Between your Grace Tame "difficult" comment and your "contempt" for the mothers in Syria refugee camps...you've had a rough week @albomp.bsky.social Time to get into the Hall of Mirrors and have a long, hard look at yourself. Do you recognise the person you are now ?

Damn, @amyremeikis.bsky.social superb stuff!!!

Rase it 🔥

Steady march of progress.

The CGT 50% discount not only distorts the housing market it is also the most inequitable policy you could dream up. (Which is probably why John Howard and Peter Costello did it) www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Australia, you are being scammed! #IEEFA shows Japanese export 40% of Aussie gas exports. Yep, they on-sell our gas for a profit while the corporations cry poor about tax and royalties and gas shortages @kimwingerei.bsky.social #auspol #whatsthescam michaelwest.com.au/australian-g...

The environment minister, Murray Watt, has given the green light for the bulldozing of nearly 3,000 hectares of tropical savanna in the Northern Territory without an assessment under Australia’s nature laws. #Environment #ClimateCrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“I could give you many more examples where my anger with the tech companies..has turned into outrage," “AI companions that undermine our ability to connect with each other, AI doctors that offer dangerous.. advice, AI nudes software that weaponise the abuse of women” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

“A 7.2% decline for every tenth of a degree per decade might sound small. But compounded over time, across entire ocean basins, it represents a staggering and deeply concerning loss of marine life.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It would be fun to compare inflation with supermarket profits. Housing, bills and food are what poorer people spend nearly all their money on. There’s no choice, that’s what their money has to be spent on.

Originally the property of Gina's Dad, before he sold a majority stake to CSR in 1943, though his companies apparently retained some interests until as late as 1994. Some (not much) of her wealth came from here. See e.g.: independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...:

We use 30 year averages to show climatology (average weather conditions). During the 20th century the UK climatology followed a path around a confined box. With #globalwarming and #climatechange they have escaped out the box. This #dataviz shows UK rainfall and temperature.

I wish Tony had his replies switched on. I’d tell him how great this is. #Auspol.

Morning. ☕️

"a hothouse trajectory with long-lasting and potentially irreversible consequences."

Hey, so all those rocket launches people love cheering on are probably destroying the upper atmosphere. Repairing the ozone layer in the 90s is one of our all-time great achievements as a global civilization; private rocket men seem intent on reversing that.

Moderately obvious, yet here we are.

In Australia, an 80 year old retiree spent three years building a small trackless “train” to take rescue dogs on daily outings. Pulled by a modified lawn tractor and fitted with safe, comfortable compartments, the train helps shelter dogs enjoy fresh air, socialize, and build confidence.

Striking thing about this weather system isn't the rain amounts, which so far are still mostly modest, it's that it sits still in the same place for over a week: www.bom.gov.au/australia/ch....

Since I can’t sleep, here’s another hot take: The world would be a better place if everyone‘s science literacy was much better. There should be more emphasis on teaching basic science at all levels in school. Science isn’t just something nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.

Some reasons to end up in hospital are clearly gender related. Here are the most male and female reasons to be admitted to hospital. Clearly pregnancy related issues dominate among women but lawnmowers are a male hazard... Source: buff.ly/csVsjJg

Federal police raided Dissent Bar in Canberra and stripped anti-fascist posters off the walls under Labor's brand new hate speech laws. Not a Nazi compound. A local café with political art. This is what biased laws look like in practice. 🧵

AI COMPANY CEO: So, we created this thing that essentially exists solely by copying other people's work. The good news is, we don't pay them, but we also lose a mountain of money. Oh, and our thing sucks up almost all of the available resources, including precious water and electricity.

🇮🇷 A few minutes ago, a powerful explosion was reported, followed by plumes of smoke, at a nuclear military facility in Parchin, Iran.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

I hear you. Anything coming out of Abbott’s mouth is so toxic, as I captured here on his interview on ABC with Karvelis on the day Taylor toppled Ley, which was Friday the 13th of February

One of the greatest civil rights leaders of all time has gone on to glory. 😔 Rest in power Reverend Jesse L. Jackson. 🙏🏽✝️🕊 Sunrise: October 8, 1941 Sunset: February 17, 2026 #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth #IAmSomebody

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973. During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

Let me get this straight, you can't run Windows 10 anymore but Windows 11 won't work on computers past a certain age because of all the a.i stuff. So you have to upgrade to a new computer in order to run Windows 11 but because of the a.i. they are no longer selling RAM or hard drives to end users.
