Don’t complain & use your voice! Catherine Connolly TD, leader in the Irish presidential election campaign. Throughout the campaign she has been the only intellectual voice & when challenged* gives thoughtful honest responses.

"campfire lit during a total fire ban sparked a large bushfire on Moreton Island" -if investigations confirm the cause, it's a great example of why many rules exist. Not to suffocate freedoms, but to prevent harm; here-habitat destruction, animal loss, pollution www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Great story on ABC #4Corners now on how online gambling companies operate, the damage they do to the community & how they keep the major political parties in the pockets.

⚠️ Worried about data centres’ energy & water use? Don’t forget the chemicals! Data centres use F-gases is their cooling systems - potent greenhouse gases that also leak #ForeverChemicals into air, water & soil. Europe must build its AI boom on renewable energy + safe, natural refrigerants 🌿

Chorilaena quercifolia - Karri Oak Endemic to the Karri forests of south west Western Australia, the leaves of this understorey shrub resemble that of an oak tree… hence the name (Quercus = oak) #ozflora #wildoz #nativeplants #inaturalist #Rutaceae

Great week teaching UQ coral reefs - past present and future on Heron Island, #SGBR. Mapping the reef zones, beach profiles and beach rock to understand the reef through time. Acknowledgement of the fact we were on Bailai seacountry.

This is great. Cory D nails the business model in all its dismal detail. He had consistently been excellent doing a job, that let's be honest, professors in business schools should have done.

Barnaby Joyce and others say you can’t recycle wind turbines. Well - these surfboards are made from recycled wind blades from Victoria. More than 85% of what is in a wind turbine can be recycled. So let’s just get on with delivering cleaner, cheaper electricity.

More than 2 years after the NACC was established, it hasn’t held a single public hearing. Now we learn the PM pushed to make it harder to hold them. Public hearings are vital to building trust - the Govt should be making them easier, not harder. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2025/10...

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

“The fundamental fatal flaw is that it is another ‘plan’ imposed on Palestinians …it requires the ‘deradicalization’ of Gaza, but apparently not of Israel.” - Michael Bradley @marquelawyers.com.au #SundayShot #GazaGenocide

In an extraordinary submission to the Senate, the Public Service Commissioner has blamed transparency for #RoboDebt. He argues for more secrecy to make life easier for public servants as they advise and influence ministers on how we are governed. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/too-much-tra...

At some point this is gonna boil over. No doubt this is exactly what the regime wants. Dead bodies. I have to wonder tho if they know how this will ultimatly play out. History does not tell a favorable story for regimes that do this. They may succeed...at first.

FFS. Maiden attempting to tell us that denying climate change and xenophobia makes Andrew Hastie an ‘interesting cat’. Seriously. This is what passes for political comment on our ABC in 2025. #insiders

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…

This is a truly excoriating and well-deserved take-down of the National Press Club @PressClubAust by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges. You really, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 should read it. His words cut like a hot knife into butter. #auspol #GazaGenocide johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

ABC now running completely untrue propaganda for America and Israel. The bombing hasn’t stopped and it has been widely reported that Netanyahu said to his own people they wouldn’t stop pretty much as soon as trump asked him to.

A nurse was shot in the head while working in Gaza's Nasser hospital. The horror was captured on camera. Here in Australia, it wasn't deemed newsworthy - only covered by one outlet. Over at SMH, we spotted four stories about Nicole Kidman's divorce on its home page alone, including an opinion piece

It was hard to miss the story about the what Melbourne CBD's anti-genocide protests allegedly costs in police resources. We look into who 'broke' that story, where that figure came from, the timing of the release of such a figure and how outlets like the ABC ran with it with little interrogation

Hey! This has the wonderful Chris Hedges, recently censored off the National Press Club programme.

Waxlip orchids (Glossodia / Caladenia major) near the Genoa Rr, VIC. Lots of flowers out in light forest at this location with many still in bud or just opening in more open grassland. Flower colour is fairly consistent here with some variations between mauve and purple. #orchids #inthefield

The Trump Action Tracker is a British academic’s answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with anti-democratic and anti- rule of law behaviours. It’s a one-stop-shop for logging thd lot. And the neta-analysis of what is happening is very enlightening… darkly. See TrumpActionTracker.info

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Thanks to Minn Post and former Minnesota US Attorney Andy Luger for hosting me for a conversation about my book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla. Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained. The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

I will be the 218th signature on the discharge petition on the Epstein files.

Caladenia polychroma - Joseph’s Spider Orchid This orchid can be quite variable in its colour, hence the name (poly - many, chroma - colour) #orchids #ozflora #wildoz #nativeplants #inaturalist #nature
