The most depressing thing about swift parrots is that this same story has been told repeatedly for the entire 16 years I’ve been working on them - same terrible conservation outcomes again and again with no changes to Tasmanian forest management www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Legends.

I took my camera out bird-bothering again today. A pair of Superb Parrots showed up 😍

"When somebody tried to divide people based on certain things, bc you don't pick where you're born, the colour of your skin. You pick to be a good human being, yes, that's a choice. Some people they choose to go against being good; that's their own problem.👇👇👇

Rosa Parks in 2026

🤔 Hmmm, somebody with millions in disposable income and the capacity to tap into dark networks in the developing world and who has come out publicly in the past 12 months to support One Nation? It's a mystery Nicole - a total mystery 🤔

Peacock spiders are only 4mm long, but their courtship dance rivals any bird of paradise. Australia has over 90 species of these tiny, ultra-colorful performers.

The way the outfits here create flashes of blue and white is very mesmerizing.

Walked past the Pool of Reflection in Hyde Park yesterday - very happy to report; No peeling paint No whiff of chlorine No green algae No brown sludge No fences No arrests… Just people out enjoying #publicsydney What’s so hard about that?

Check out this extensive lit review of Superb Parrot in Birds of the World. Thanks to Dejan Stojanovic and team for their focus on this great species from Down Under.

Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social. "Trash talking: Pauline at the Press Club"

It's hard to tell where Penny would sit on the Concern-O-Meter on this

From @stranger on X: “I’ve never seen Pauline Hanson defend women but I have seen her defend convicted rapists.” Now tellingJacinta Allen to “suck it up, sweetheart,” claimed women fabricate IPV allegations with no evidence, when she was deputy chair of the parliamentary family law inquiry

It’s frustrating and disheartening how many people vote against their own interests because of right‑wing media propaganda, social media algorithms, and manufactured culture wars driven by a small, rich sociopathic elite.

Tongue!!!! #spudlet

Have Australians forgotten that One Nation tried to secure a $20M donation from the NRA in exchange for trying to weaken Australia's gun laws in 2019?! Did everyone forget this?! Why isn't the mainstream news media reminding Australian Mums & Dads of this?! Do we want school shootings?! 😡 #auspol

You don't often see this many organisations together! A LOT of people are very unhappy.

one more ceo sleepout will turn this around. one more cost of living tax cut. just one more foodbank drive, I swear www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Never interrupt your enemy while they’re making a mistake

My latest article in The Shot "In Farrer, suddenly the saviour Pauline was all for the water .... Pauline Hanson – who thinks the Murray Darling Basin Plan is the name of her plumber Murray’s work schedule – now wants you to believe she’s going to save them." 🙏🏽 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

"One Nation supporters are not unique or special. And treating their concerns as though they are more poignant, more precious, is part of a long history of racist scapegoating in this country" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yet more proof that Australia is a deeply racist country www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

So the people of #Farrer are so impressed with the Seppo Orange shitgibbon that they vote in the Australian equivalent. What a fucked up world we live in #auspol

Racism the root cause of evil, hate filled Right winged Political Nutjobs #RacismCallitOut 🎯

He's such a needy dipshit. He cannot cope with anyone else getting attention.

“No human, I have not been digging at all. Look at my face of innocence…” Morag. #spudlet

Does anyone else remember when Bob Hawke vetoed the construction of the Franklin Dam in Tasmania in 1983? I feel like today there's not one Labor leader who'd have the courage to do that. Not one. #auspol

On Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson and Welcome to Country.

“Just do it, and stop the crap.” 💥🔥 You can see why gas giants are worried. When the guy who wrote the book on Australian tax reform calls for a 25% gas export tax this bluntly, it would be gross negligence for the government to ignore it. Thank you, Ken Henry. #auspol

CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government. We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

This creature is bitter. Feuding with her family for 20 years. Fighting with her neighbours. Attacked an artist over a portrait. Instead of helping people in need with all her wealth she instead funds political parties that only serve her financial interests. BITTER!

Magnificent river red gums. Some of these are 500+ years old with many hollows for nesting parrots, possums and gliders.

Utterly sick of Australian politicians of any description, but particularly the Prime Minister and state Premiers, complicitly supporting Israel’s atrocity, barbarism and crimes against humanity, and then rocking up to a mosque for photo ops and brownie points. Get utterly fucked

Justified anger that goes beyond the Muslim community and politicians just don't seem to get it. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Marles is emblematic of the bourgeois careerist apparatchiks who now dominate the ranks of Labor. He has a legal background and has proved naive in his assessment of international matters. Patently, he worships America.

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

It's that time of year again! Time to vote for your favourite gum tree! This year, we're celebrating eucalypts as homes for Australia's unique flora and fauna! Vote here: eucalyptaustralia.org.au/eucalypt-of-... 👇Meet the #EucalyptoftheYear2026 contenders (a thread)

What an absolute jerk Littleproud is. Nationals Leader David Littleproud says the government needs to ensure Iranian footballers who have sought asylum in Australia do not bring values of "tyranny". www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

"A 37-year-old man was interviewed by police at the scene and was then given a direction to move on." It seems staggeringly unlikely if a Muslim came in throwing fists, threatening to kill people and shouting anti-semitic slogans at kids during Hannukah they'd be allowed to leave peacefully.

Look Anthony Albanese and Labor. I know you don’t really give a shit about ethics or morals, or ‘international rules based order’, so let’s put it in terms of pure self interest. Many Australians aren’t going to vote for a party that drags them into another war the US started. Got it?

Remember when this abomination decided to walk all over Uluru in some type of white person faux-rage protest and then got stuck The protest was that First Nations people said walking all over their sacred site was disrespectful

Can you do a piece on the ‘worrying’ sign for Australia that our Antisemitism envoy’s family trust also makes large donations to racist political group Advance? #auspol

“Don’t send your sons to finish what politicians start.”

And yet, Murray Watt allows Alcoa to continue destroying habitat. "Alcoa has been granted a temporary "national interest" exemption to continue clearing land for its bauxite operation while an assessment of its "cumulative environmental impact" is completed." www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

When their station's fragile landscape needed protection from feral goats, Calum and Belinda Carruth seized on an idea that has become marvel of technology and pest management. #animals #inventions #goat #farming #agricultural #pest #control

Trigger warning I strongly suggest everyone reads this, not just Australians. As horrific as this is, it will not be an isolated case by any means. As for the people of Balmoral that sided with the rapists, take a good, hard look at yourselves. The town that turned its back on a rape victim

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

A pair of happy large and a small potatoes ready for adventures #spudlet
