If you were against Greyhound racing, you'd sign this Parliament of Tasmania petition, wouldn't you? Don't! It actually supports it. Pretty devious, isn't? Dean Winters, Tas Labor leader, is the sponsor. 🤬
Please ensure you read the details before signing anything! 🙏

‘We got the best that we could get’: Greens defend deal with Government on environmental law reforms
Greens Leader Larissa Waters has defended the outcome of last week's compromise deal with the government to pass major environmental protection laws. It comes after a period of internal soul searching for The Greens - while the party maintained its Senate footprint, it lost three lower house seats including former leader Adam Bandt.

the AFL is essentially acknowledging it can’t run a profitable stadium in a Gold Coast market that is bigger than the whole of Tasmania.

After devastating fires in 1939, authorities began burning forests to reduce fuel load. But we now know this creates conditions for even worse fires.
In 1939, a Royal Commission found burning forests leads to more bushfires. But this cycle of destruction can be stopped

This echidna was snapped by a trail camera at Yellabinna. Echidnas are found throughout Australia, from the snowy high country to the desert – anywhere that ants and termites occur.

Grey Butcherbirds are little guys other small birds love to hate. Found across Aust in arid, semi-arid & temperate habitats. They're famous for their rollicking songs & are at home in urban areas. Prey mainly on lizards & small birds. Cache dead prey in tree forks & under loose bark. #birds #WildOz
