As general manager at Tipperary Station he pushed the free water grab to new limits (taking 15,400ML/yr used for cotton) from the magnificent Stray Creek/ Daly system and was by far the worst of the land clearers (50,687ha approved). www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Calls for NSW government to remove recreational hunting as a reason to own firearms after Bondi massacre

Deeply troubling that a minister could waive laws for one group and make the plan ineffective. This draft is a result of intense lobbying by the pastoral industry. Central Australian’s deeply want action on buffel. Ecosystem integrity depends on it. The pastoral industry’s malfeasance is revealed.

Will the USA utilise Pine Gap during its slaughter of innocent Venezuelan peoples? In our hundreds in our millions , We are all Palestinians. Because impunity to genocide Means we are all fair game.

Mystified. How could the Pastoral Lands Board approve land clearing next to Giwining/Flora River, home to sawfish & pig-nosed turtles? These species’ groundwater dependency and risks from clearing were glossed over. An industry dominated Board is unsuitable to decide land clearing applications.

I smell a rat.

Company gets clearing permits for fodder then applies for free groundwater for cotton. It could secure bulk of entitlements under the notorious Georgina Wiso water plan and game water markets. Deputy chair of regulator the Pastoral Land Board is from same company! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

This is the beautiful and internationally significant Lake Woods in the Barkly. Submissions close today on what would be the largest solar farm on earth - 500 km2, just 25 km south from here. This is 1.5% of the entire occupied habitat for bilbies.

As if carbon offsets weren’t a big enough fraud…welcome to the world of ‘biodiversity offsets’…sure the idea failed dismally in NSW but Murray Watt is keen to have a crack… what could go wrong? Just even more extinctions i suppose…#climate #nature thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Jesse Noakes:"In WA,[..] it often looks like Woodside owns the state[..] where fossil fuel sponsorship is the norm, sports & culture bodies give each other cover to maintain the arrangement, immune to needling inquiries from national media,[..] these partnerships continue despite public exposure"

This would be the biggest solar farm on Earth! Why it’s on a bilby stronghold, next to Lake Woods a wetland of international significance for waterbirds. It needs rigorous environmental impact assessment. I’m at a loss as to why it’s not on cleared land. Submissions will help.

😢 We are monsters: As forests are cut down, butterflies are losing their colours www.theguardian.com/environment/20…

Company talks of deals with giant data centres but when it comes to site selection are cheapskates - choosing a bilby stronghold close to Lake Woods rather than cleared land or a pastoral lease. @biodivcouncil.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

As renewables eat into the energy market + EVs reduce demand for petrol, fossil fuel firms aim to step up production of plastics + chemicals made from oil + gas. By mid-century, half of growth in demand for oil is predicted to come from making more plastic + chemicals. A must read 👇🏾
