A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australia’s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles.
We don’t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports.

I recall seeing a reasonably well-known psephologist post a few months ago, that people thinking Dutton would borrow his tactics from Trump were completely barking up the wrong tree - almost borderline idiots in fact - which I think says a great deal about focusing solely on quantitative analysis.

Dutton's property investments... A reminder, on this property he made $3,675,000. But because you get a 50% discount on capital gains, he only had to pay tax on $1,837,500.
That tax discount each year costs around $22bn - of which $18bn goes to the richest 10%

A sign of what’s to come? Northern Territory government moves to strip environmental groups of funding and push through reforms to expand fossil fuel extraction.

Earthquakes at massive Alaska volcano Mount Spurr ramp up again — and there's now a 50-50 chance of an eruption
Ten months of unrest at Mount Spurr could be a sign of an upcoming eruption from a side vent or, less likely, from the main crater.

Very ironic that Peter Dutton is on TV in parliament emphasizing some of the things Kevin Rudd mentioned in his apology speech - the speech that Peter Dutton walked out.

This is huge. HUGE. Oral contraceptive pills to be added to PBS for first time in decades. Funding for IUDs, long lasting contraception, and menopause supports. This is one for the history books. Seriously, BIG.

Almost finished building a deck and the stairs up a big gradient on the side of our house. My soft software hands aren't so soft anymore and my very soft body is slightly firmer. Next stop rejuvenating the pergola when we get more money!
