No prizes for guessing the names of the two countries that voted against the 'International Day Against Colonialism.'

And no prize for guessing of course Australia abstained, being just another racist Western settler-colonial outpost built on the back of Indigenous GENOCIDE. #auspol #FreePalestine

One practical improvement would be for Hegseth to be imprisoned for being a murderer. Another would be to punish the ALP at the ballot box. A third might be marches to Canberra to end this dangerous alliance.

Wild mammals make up less than 6 per cent of the total mammal biomass on Earth, dwarfed by humans and livestock. The children born today face the very real possibility of a world emptied of much of its wildlife. This is a catastrophic legacy.

The big reason electricity cost so much is gas. Gas is the most expensive form of electricity generation (aside from battery) and yet often determines the price.

Tax gas exports, raise $17bn, help compensate households and also fund the transition to zero emissions

This beautiful snow gum lives just on the treeline on Mt Howitt in the VIC high country. It is one of the grand old trees we have mapped as part of our project to identify pockets of forest that must be protected.
