I wish killing the planet wasn't a political issue

I thought about this, after I posted. For the folk who think a country is a business, the return is far greater on empathy than any variant based on punishment for circumstance.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

I am always going to support this It is obscene that those who have to rely on help and support from the rest of us have to live in poverty It is obscene that the minimum wage does not put a roof over your head and food on the table

Today I'm going to drive out into the country. Find a small, dilapidated, empty house. Move in. Get some chickens, maybe a goat. I'll grow veges and wear the same clothes every day. My feet will be dirty. And no one will hear from me again. As soon as I clear my inbox I'm off...

Best time of year. The dogs get bored waiting for me to take eleventy jillion photos of all the mushrooms, slimes and lichens that suddenly appear. #fungifriday

I have zero expectations for LNP - and they exceed those expectations every day. I did however have some expectations for Labor - and I now feel completely betrayed. I truly didn’t think they would be this bad. Could and should be so different 😞😞 #auspol
