It really would be worth pursuing this person, exposing his real identity (via bluesky admin), sending the lawyers after him and having him thrown off the platform for breach of whatever laws apply.
Did you say "Nature Positive"? I gather it is as wonderful as "Offsets" and "Carbon Capture" at resolving all our problems yesterday.
There's too much wadjela mysticism place on cultural practices. They have been developed over millenia to do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, for practical reasons. It really isn't that hard if you listen. Then adapt what is needed in day-to-day land management.
He is the new centre-right guided by the ghost of Bob Santamaria and all his demons. One of the more progressive parties for the Status Quo electorate.
Powerful and important article by the wonderful Louise Adler. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...
That's a great badge. We need to get "I support difficult women" so we can all join in.
There's someone at the door. You want to get it?
Social media helped fuel mass casualty plot against Muslim Australians www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
What people do not fully comprehend, is he was going to start with the Muslim community, then police, then govt. He's a white supremacists so 1st Nations and people of Jewish faith would also be on the list (as reported). This is pure hate. This is NSN/PHON territory.
I wonder why we are focusing just on antisemitism when arrests have been made of terrorists who've planned/or attacked First Nations and Muslims? (Actually, I don't wonder. These groups are seemingly not as important as the powerful supporters of the genocidal Israeli govt).

I'll have an extra restorative day on Monday thinking of ewes all. 😁
Is it a long weekend for ewes lot as well. 😁
So... Just occurrence data then? No biometrics, no pathology, no direct genetics sampling... just photos of possibly the same individual over and over? There is a place for passive monitoring, but it is not and never will be a replacement for high quality detailed natural and ecological sciences.
Possibly an idiocy of compassionate conservationists. I think that is the correct collective term for people who think they are scientists but come across as imbeciles.
I'm tired of these dim people thinking opinion trumps the data and evidence. I had to report the original post. Aeon can go take a flying leap (hopefully into educating and informing themselves of the difference between misinformation and fact).
Absolutely ridiculous statement. The impact of cat and fox can be directly linked to biodiversity loss and extinctions in Australia.
This is just another form of child abuse - environmental degradation. It destroys the viability of life of the next generations, and knowingly so.

And yet, Murray Watt allows Alcoa to continue destroying habitat.
"Alcoa has been granted a temporary "national interest" exemption to continue clearing land for its bauxite operation while an assessment of its "cumulative environmental impact" is completed."

Title: Vetting the ISIS brides. Two frames. 1. Man with clipboard inside entrance of tent talking to woman in full burqa nursing baby with two small kids playing beside on the dirt floor. Man says: “Just a few questions…Are you: bigoted? Lacking compassion? Have you scant regard for due process and the presumption of innocence?” 2. Same scene, man continues: “If ‘yes’ to all those, you satisfy the “Australian values” test as demonstrated by our political class, and we look forward to bringing you home.”
Vetting the brides.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
I highly recommend these. Due to the time difference, they are mostly in the very early hours of our morning, but worth it.
The suggestion that welcoming refugees is worse than the horrors of the Nazi regime is a textbook example of Holocaust minimisation. Political leaders cannot claim to oppose antisemitism while remaining silent in the face of far-right extremism.
Brilliant!
I postulate the biggest impact on the environment occurred when humans abandoned the so-called hunter gatherer lifestyle and began overproducing to deal with the inevitable waste which required exploitation of resources beyond the environment's carrying capacity.
I once taught myself to fold a fitted sheet. I once cared. 🤣
Fine. The choice is to the individual. But if they are not prepared to deal with the science, they need to burn their degrees and not waste everyone's time.
This is a diagram of an inverse 3/4 risk pyramid. The tip of the pyramid is very small and refers to the use of offsets. To explain further. Generally, in a typical risk pyramid all sections are given equal height. It relays a sense of common shared importance only modified by the tapering of the pyramid to its tip. This particular pyramid places most of the emphasis on avoidance as the most important risk management measure. This is followed by, in even smaller bands, minimise, reduce and mitigate, and with the aforementioned tiny reference to offsets. As we go from avoidance to offsets on this pyramid we also find the qualities of these risk management options also decrease. To the left, I have declared the 3 more important aspects of risk management which decrease as we move from Avoidance to Offsets. These being, Preference (Avoidance is always preferred), Scientific Rigour (as we travel into offsets, there is less science and more speculation and convenience), and Ecological viability (impacts will threaten the ecological viability of any receiving environment, with offsets having no measurable value in maintaining ecological viability).
For all the neophyte environmental consultants, ecologists and biologists, this is a much more realistic #EIA risk management pyramid for your reference. (there is a little more in the alt text).
The one I posted is about 20cm on the long axis. MiniGnamma. 🤣
