Total bald faced lie. On the front page. Of the only major newspaper in my state. See the problem here?

Got an email from the school that the boy was getting an award. Asked him what it might be for? He reeled off four possible subjects. At the ceremony yesterday he got an award in all four. Proud Dad.

I can’t express how proud I feel when I see these #NorthernRiversWatershedInitiative updates. I didn’t waste my 9 years on Council. Adopting #NaturalFloodMitigation is our best chance to protect communities & our river in one of the most flood prone catchments in Australia.

Ok, so this is a big deal. The Senate has just passed the five Future Made in Australia bills - which lay the foundations to start transforming Australia's industrial landscape from fossil fuels to a clean export future. Let me explain why... (1/n)

This is... funny. The hard nosed political operatives of the backroom couldn't... "count" www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

When our leaders refuse to take urgent action on climate change, then - for the love of our children & grandchildren - we simply must protest. I stand with @risingtideaus.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

The gender pay gap is now at its lowest recorded rate ever. This is because the Labor Govt: 1. Supported minimum wage increases 2. Banned pay secrecy clauses 3. Funded wage increases for aged care workers 4. Supported men to share in parental leave 6. Publishes gender pay gap of individual employers

Terrible news today: This year, one-third of coral cover has been destroyed in two northern sections of the Great Barrier reef due to anthropogenic heating. Results for the southern sections (which were even hotter) have not been officially released. www.aims.gov.au/information-...

ATTENTION TWEED TURTLEWATCHERS! We have had our second nesting attempt (false crawl) for the season in the Tweed area last night. Often nesting females that false crawl, will try again in the coming nights. TurtleWatch hotline 0447 877 149. 📸 Denise Gravestone & Sara

Tell me your #BestThing of the day. Mine is that it’s cruise night, the council-appointed night of the month to do laps of Main Street in your hot rod/ souped up rust bucket/ cattle mustering ute while the locals sit out in deck chairs and eat ice cream and burgers

We have had our first successful nest for the season in Evans Head two mornings ago! This nest was from a loggerhead turtle. We can hopefully expect this lady to lay another clutch of eggs in the coming weeks. Ph 0447 877 149 to report! 📸 Leann Spencer

@bridieev.bsky.social 👋👋👋 welcome.

🙏Please ppl, if you see bits of net or fishing line, anything a bird can get its feet caught in lying around, pick up & bin it. Last year we had to rescue a young magpie w net on a leg that got caught on a tree branch. So lucky we got to him. #WildlifeRescue #Nature #Birds

Back to my original Twitter username and Avi. Y’know before the troubles…

A record amount of new battery storage capacity and a rebound in onshore wind projects have helped deliver the “healthiest” quarterly investment numbers for new renewables in Australia in more than two years, new data from the Clean Energy Council has revealed. reneweconomy.com.au/terrific-new...

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

It took 68 years for the world to reach 1 terawatt of solar PV capacity. It took just two years to double it. reneweconomy.com.au/it-took-68-y...

Want. Immediately.

G’day Ian @xskinn.bsky.social Good to find Aussie Twitter friends here. I’m keeping a foot in both places at the moment but Twitter is rapidly going to 💩

Check out this short vid by Briggs! The referendum isn't "complicated" 80% of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people are asking the rest of Aus to VOTE YES so they have a Voice to Parliament - an advisory committee of Indigenous people that can give 𝘼𝘿𝙑𝙄𝘾𝙀 to politicians #WriteYesVoteYes #auspol

Instead of calling them billionaires let’s call them money hoarders and make condescending TV shows about helping them get over their problem.

Absolutely #VoteYes. Cover by Euan Graham www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5yd...

A lot of flaws in Australia's EPBC Act, this is one of them. "We need to fix Australia’s national environment law, making sure it contains an explicit objective to prevent actions that accelerate climate change." t.co/21bIoBQZ6U

Since the 1st quarter of ‘21 there has been concerted, organised & violent targeting of wāhine Māori in public life. More than just regular racism & misogyny, this is networked harassment with the aim of removing these diverse voices from our polis.

Super moon rises.

Chances of an EV catching fire are about twenty times less than a petrol car. Harder to put out but a lot less likely. You won’t hear about that from the Murdoch press (or ABC these days). Link to research papers in video description. youtu.be/9kNIyTQ2jeM?...

I love when Trump says “if they do this to me, they could do this to you!” It’s like…yes, if you commit fraud by inflating the value of your business, then you, like Trump, can face consequences. Congratulations! You’ve discovered rule of law.

Global temperatures in 2023 are extraordinary. The various different datasets available all agree on this. We are breaking records by shocking amounts. Graphic by John Kennedy.

Rupert Murdoch complaining about elites and newspapers that lie is kind of funny. A projection to which only a deranged Trumpist could aspire.

My passion.

Awesome news. New facility will be great support to local wildlife rescue groups. www.echo.net.au/2023/09/1-4-...

So happy to hear that John Farnham has gifted his song Your The Voice to the Yes campaign. Might have to go busking just playing that song on repeat.

Good morning everyone. Have been treated to a very special Fathers Day weekend. On my way to visit my Dad today. Love youse all.

Good morning everyone. After the shittiest week imaginable an MRI has confirmed my boy does not in fact have a brain tumour. Thank fuck for that. Have been doing a little happy dance 🕺 🕺 🕺 since we got the news yesterday. Yay!
