Is one of John Farnham’s most popular songs about to be banned in Australia? - ABC Religion & Ethics
How did Australia’s perennial pop sweetheart find his 1988 chart-topping song “Two Strong Hearts” unexpectedly implicated in current debates over hate speech laws? Does this suggest the states’ approach to legislation has gone too far?

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Labor and Liberal governments have passed 49 anti-protest laws across the country over the last two decades. It is damning (& history will judge us harshly) but no surprise that 🇦🇺 leads the world on climate protest arrests.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! Yesterday's global 2m surface temperature hit a new high for 2023, at 1.98°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline. Only one day since 1940 has been more extreme than yesterday. That day was Feb. 28, 2016, with an anomaly of 1.99°C. Tomorrow?
