Powerful joint statement from so many organisations on: Australia’s national environment laws @australiainstitute.org.au #auspol australiainstitute.org.au/post/joint-s...

Did you know students are generally quite smart ALP? If you "bribe" them with taxpayer money, while treating them as a "cash-cow" that leave them with life-long debts, they will probably grasp that you are selling them out. Students are good with graphs too, so here's one to finish with 🙂 #auspol

I expect they factored in Tasmania’s eagerness to hand over the wallet to grifters

Doc Neeson voice... Crowd voice

I spent last weekend in Sydney for my annual guest lecture to MA Psych students- I am the only lecturer to talk end of life clients/carers, death, dying and the realities of this work. Love it! Didn't love heat and humidity 😖 SO happy to get home to liveable temperatures Monday night!! #Tasmania

When evidence-based science struggles against white privilege, religious stupidity, and Hucksters For Profit then avoidable deaths are the outcome. Vaccines work to save lives. Mis/disinformation YouTube videos don't. #science

90 academics from Group of Eight universities voice their opposition to the #GO8 signing onto a statement by the Business Council of Australia www.bca.com.au/our-insights... that endorses the Australian Government's plans to weaken national environmental laws #EPBCAct #esa2025 #environment #nature

Hey, aren’t we due to get these in Tasmania? #politas

We're not funding creative arts, but at least we're inspiring them, I guess. 🙃 #politas

“It was revealed in Tasmanian Budget Estimates this week that salmon farming companies had released some 700 kg of florfenicol into the D’Entrecasteaux Channel in less than two weeks.” #politas

A reminder that I am now an approved counsellor with the NSW Government Justice department Victim's Services. Find me here to inquire about an appointment if applicable to you: victimsservices.justice.nsw.gov.au/how-can-we-h... #grief #trauma #psychotherapy

The #AFL is not community-minded, this was surely deliberate?! #politas #DarkMofo

How much does it cost the EPA to investigate a licence condition breach, and issue a warning notice? More than $4040 is my thinking. #politas

The Tas Government declares it's on track to deliver 10,000 new affordable homes by 2032. Strip away the glossy headlines - numbers simply don’t add up - read my opinion piece in The Mercury Newspaper today or on my website here: #housing #homeless #politas #debt ruthforrest.com.au/opinion/tasm...

Good riddance. I was brought up believing that Nazi and swatstickers were illegal. Did this change somewhere. World wars were fought to stop this type of oppression, yet here it is in Australia. Outlaw it now. #auspol

59 today, woke up to departing guests arranging a special presentation on the dining table for me, including an Oreo and white chocolate cheesecake. Yes, it's as good as it sounds! Most grateful for good friends helping me celebrate. #birthday #happiness #love

The federal government risks repeating grievous mistakes made in NSW with its proposals to change the way developers compensate for damage to the environment, scientists and legal experts have warned. #climatecrisis #EPBC #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why does every presidential corruption scandal revolve around Deep Throat?

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

I spent last week in an intensive 5 day workshop learning how to weave a willow coffin. Deeply satisfying to be weaving again, but the supplier wasn't terribly prepared, so we also learned advanced techniques to compensate. I'll load completed shots later - plait and toggles missing here. #handmade

There’s no excuse for the Federal Government’s refusal to ban gambling adverting. Shameful that they don’t care about the harm of gambling addiction, and are scared stiff of the gambling & media companies and of the AFL & NRL #auspol #politas

"For Tasmania, that is just unaffordable." FFS @jeremyrockliff go seek therapy for your cognitive dissonance. HTF is a stadium affordable if we can't afford to pay teachers, nurses, police, allied health and more what they should be paid. #politas www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

What are we doing about this?! Should be a top priority for all levels of government. #auspol #politas

Thrilled to announce that this week not only was I accepted to the board of Deloraine House Inc. (local Neighbourhood House system here in the Meander Valley) but NSW Victims Services accepted me as a registered counsellor!! #work #grief #TraumaRecovery #psychotherapy #Psychotherapist #community

Hey #australia - we're still being screwed by big corporations - to the tune of tens of billions of dollars - EVERY YEAR - and the bosses are laughing all the way to the bank - it's criminal #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Does anybody know if there's a Go Fund Me or similar to support Brittany Higgins? Reynolds' vicious pursuit of her & desire to see her penniless and homeless is unconscionable, surely a lot of people would like to help #auspol #BrittanyHiggins

One for #politas as well as #auspol

Unauthorised earthworks and land clearing by a cement company in northern Tasmania has damaged the known habitat of endangered freshwater crayfish and snails, smothering creek beds with silt. #politas tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/cement-...

Since the Tas Gov and Opp won't listen to expert advice, represent the majority of Tasmanians and stand up to the AFL' s stadium shakedown tactics, it falls to crossbench parliamentarians and Mayors to do it. #politas #auspol

Congratulations to the Tawny Frogmouth! Finally you are our Bird of the Year and I am thrilled for you. #auspol #BirdOfTheYear #GoodStuff

Yup. We neither want nor need the #WankDome here. #politas #NoNewStadium

There's a new EOLD collective group here in Tasmania, and I'm proud to be a part of it. A booklet has been put together and there will be additions over time. If you have questions, I'm here to help. Have a brilliant day! #EOLD #DeathDoula #EndOfLife #tasmania #DeathLiteracy #AskAnnetta 1/2
