Such great news - thank you to all my colleagues in the conservation & environmental movement for making this possible. Bunnings will remove all second generation rat poison. That is a massive victory. It has moved from the recommendation to actual removal from a major commercial outlet. #birds

Read all of this….and then get on the anti-ON side. I just wish we had a possible ALP alternative here.

@albomp.bsky.social escalating Australia’s involvement in an illegal war started by the U.S. and Israel. Every day Albo becomes more like John Howard, Australia’s worst ever PM. And this illegal war is smashing the economy. A hearty slow clap for the warmongers.

β€œEvery hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn’t someone want to talk about it! We’ve started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the rest of the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we just don’t care if they are? I’ve heard the rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much? ... Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”

Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

seeing references to the ON candidate for Farrer being a 'Harvard graduate'. He IS NOT!!! He attended seminars with Harvard.

Also not he made water management central to his pitch y'day. Note that he was CEO of AAC, the biggest water 'thief'/exploiter in the country
