If someone ever tells you that "slaughter equals conservation", you're right to be very suspicious.
Let's just not kill animals for fun.

Darren's hunted zebras and bears overseas. Now a 'trophy' ban is in Australia's sights

AUKUS is sinking and Labor responds by making up a $30 billion un-budgeted AUKUS announceable for the SA State election. This stuff is straying so far from reality.

Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension.
Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.
In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

The footage out of Sydney overnight is abhorrent.
Peaceful protesters set upon by an army of police, punches thrown at people with raised hands, people praying ripped from their knees.
Is this violence the social cohesion that Labor wanted?

While the dictionary may suggest that terrorism is when anyone uses unlawful violence for political means, many understand that the application of the term becomes impacted by 'other factors'...

Superb idea from @mon4kooyong.bsky.social
“When it comes to climate hazards, people act faster when they immediately grasp what’s at risk. Declaring a
Category 4 ‘Heatwave Santos’ or ‘Heatwave Woodside’ would be more salient than communicating a ‘temperature
spike’."
