Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Richard Gere—

"The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone."

"Do we really think these refugees are different than us?"

"Do you really believe what these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin, what these guys say?"

Sunset fitting for Halloween week.

Was still humid and 29C degrees at 1030pm last night.

Rain has brought welcome relief today.

Yellow sun surrounded by an orange glow that shades the clouds in a rosy glow. Black dead tree silhouette gives the scene a dystopian feel.

"The environment minister would be able to approve projects at odds with nature laws if it was deemed in the “national interest” under the Albanese government’s planned overhaul of the environmental protection regime."

What's the problem there? Who's interests should he be looking after? #auspol

“The rare earth deal we signed with the U.S. has been presented as a boost to local industry. Yet a closer look at who owns the companies processing these critical minerals shows the profits often flow overseas, not the Australian public.”

It's late in the afternoon here in Australia. Time to wind down and get some dinner just like this White-faced Heron. 🌅 🐦🐟🍽😋

#BirdOfTheDay #Heron #birds #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #birdwatchers #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #Canon #R5 #Australia #heron
A White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae) stands in shallow, muddy water, facing to the right. The bird is predominantly pale blue-grey with fine, textured feathers. Its long, slender legs and feet are a striking bright yellow. The heron has a long, dark bill and bright yellow eyes with a distinctive white patch covering its face, from the forehead to below the eyes. The background is softly blurred (bokeh), featuring warm, earthy tones of brown and gold, suggesting a late afternoon or golden hour setting in a natural wetland environment. The water in the foreground reflects the bird's yellow legs and the warm background light.
