Mabel meets a #butterfly. #goldenretriever #dogsofbsky #dogsofbluesky

Sad but sadly inevitable news on #biodiversity www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record. Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

Fast forward six years #roses #dogsofbsky #dogsofbluesky #goldenretriever

This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered

The algal bloom off South Australia’s coast is a devastating consequence of climate change. We need stronger emissions targets, real investment in environmental science, and leadership that matches the urgency of this crisis. #Cop31 #Auspol #NetZero #75by35

Absolutely devastating, things like this can't really be modeled, we are now truly in uncharted waters. Look after yourselves, do what you love and be with who you love. Control what you can, involve yourself in your community and help if you're able. #climate #auspol

🧠 Feeling overwhelmed by the climate crisis? You’re not alone. Join us next Wed for a thoughtful discussion on the mental health impacts of climate change & how we can support one another & build resilience in the face of growing climate challenges. 🔗 Register here: www.dea.org.au/webinar_ment...

Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?

New Juice Media Honest Govt Ad just dropped - and it's great for sharing with friends, family etc. Take a look #auspol > youtu.be/zXHq04W0kBs?...

OMG, I've got #Insiders on Mute & they just trotted out Bridget McKenzie🤦 FFS, could it get any less 'expert'? Does my head in. Independent Journalism gets NIL funding & yet it craps all over ABC & MSM for relevance. No wonder so many ppl are ill informed & tuning out politics. #auspol #SundayShot

I could listen to @petercronau.bsky.social all day. #sundayshot

Foolish, easily led, #LNP voters don’t realise how easily they are manipulated for their vote by Gina’s: FB is full of this shite: what about solar…what about wind…what about whales… #Auspol

Australia’s mini and micro-parties: how to avoid a vote you might regret in the Senate #AusPol #AusVotes https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/apr/25/australias-mini-and-micro-parties-how-to-avoid-a-vote-you-might-regret-in-the-senate

I’m here on the Reef today - snorkelling off Cairns - and it’s looking very poor #auspol

Peter Dutton says he wants to keep Australians safe — but won’t confirm if he accepts climate change is escalating. Our security agencies are clear: climate change is a major threat. Denial is not leadership — it puts lives and our future at risk. #AusPol #ClimateAction

So Dutton is an actual climate denier, last night running standard tropes: "I'm not a scientist but...", and yet somehow also, "the science is uncertain" (paraphrased). Why isn't this the biggest story of the day; of the campaign?

One of the unexpected bonuses of running in this election is getting to meet people like Bec, a regenerative agriculture farmer. A big thanks to Bec and neighbour Nick for taking time to take me around the farm and sharing your knowledge, stories, and vision.

Mr Dutton’s responses on climate change in last night’s leaders’ debate, along with a string of climate damaging policies, reveal the Coalition is out of touch on a major issue affecting voters’ lives. #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes25 www.acf.org.au/denying-clim...

Do you know the Muffin Man? #goldenretriever #dogsofbsky #mabel

First time I’ve seen a golden retriever as part of the Nativity #goldenretriever #dogsofbsky

There’s this special kind of dad…

Sights & sounds of my backyard this morning (Vic, Australia) 🔉: Birds, insects, dogs barking in distance, blowfly, clattering of trailer unloading…? 👀: bushland, garden, sky, cobwebs (love them above head height, catch flies/mozzies), my dogs & coffee💜

All I want for Christmas is for the media to add the Bluesky Butterfly "Share" button on each article beside the X, FB, and other buttons.
