When a politician mentions jobs in native forestry as a justification for it continuing, a real journalist would ask - every time - exactly how many jobs are there? #AusPol #Insiders

I watched #insiders for the first time in months. If this is representative of #auspol journos i am shocked. Why are we focussing so much on a very minor party that has no impact on policy or reality?

HERE IT IS!!!!!

It’s come to this. So sad for my once amazing organisation. That said, I still say 99% of people at the operational coalface put 110% every day into making Australia safer and more prosperous. I’ve never experienced more passion in a public service. Anywhere. New CEO literally starts tomorrow.

How much longer is this farce of a sideshow going to continue? NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, is once again embroiled in controversy. The NACC Inspector, Gail Furness is currently investigating several complaints against Mr Brereton. His position is untenable. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Yes. If people remember one thing from my book I hope it's the name of Louise Webster, the co-discoverer of black holes. She has been written out of the history of science. She had one of the first successful liver transplants in Australia but sadly died in Sydney at 49. (She was an astronomer)

"They want everyone to know these thugs they’ve deployed to terrorize cities are battle-hardened and impervious to pain. But in court, they're such delicate flowers that if they are, say, lightly grazed by a sandwich, they are entitled to justice because of the horrific assault they have suffered."

Jason Koutsoukis: “Almost 40 politicians lost their seats or retired at the 2025 election. Some have since become lobbyists, been elected to state parliaments, returned to the bar or become publicans.” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic....

It appears the Liberals / Nationals "problem" with science goes far deeper than just unprofessional MPs failing to grasp climate reality. Many MPs/exMPs/party hacks are literally part of the fossil fuels scam lying to the public. Help us complete a list... 👇

James Watson the perverted racist is dead?! Well that means it's time to celebrate the true hero of DNA discovery: Rosalind Franklin www.nature.com/articles/d41...

James Watson, the sexist racist who stole Rosalind Franklin’s ground breaking research on DNA, created his own (sadly widely believed) genius mythology with a popular book, is dead.

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

The big science accounts are talking about immune dysregulation due to COVID-19 now. I. Told. You. So. Infection does confer antibodies and T cells against C19… but it also takes a wrecking ball to the immune system as a whole. Stop burning down your house. (Metaphorically.)

Bird flu is being painted as a problem wild birds are inflicting on the poultry industry, but it's precisely the reverse. Where do they think it developed in the first place, if not in the disease incubators that are mass battery farms? share.google/K4FBGkiuuUdc...

Aged care providers shouldn’t be balancing their books off the back of vulnerable older Australian’s who are stretching every dollar to remain at home safe and independent. The Government must ensure older Australians get the care they pay for. #auspol #politas

In order to protect & care for the places & wildlife we love we must have stronger environmental laws, far stronger than what @australianlabor.bsky.social has proposed. Well done, @ausconservation.bsky.social! Proud to be joining the voices calling for the @albomp.bsky.social government to do more!

In case you're finding it hard to keep up, this court hearing was related to the allegation Lehrmann stole French submarine secrets in the days before his dismissal back in 2019 It's not about his current rape charges in QLD, or his car theft charges in Tas, or his 'defamation' appeal or . . . . .

We have many nesting boxes, blackberry bushes, and safe areas in the orchard, so where do our geese want to nest so far? In the back of the chicken coop (inconvenient), in the old greenhouse (grumble), and under an overturned chair. Geese are such contrary bogans!🤣
