Yeah whinge away. We don’t care. Our country, our rules.

The public scare campaign seems a bit redundant. In the halls of parliament house they already have several lobbyists schooling around each of our pollies like remoras. The public are an afterthought for this issue.

Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people’s ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.

In sure this approach worked well for them before the consequences of climate change started appearing.

Talking like this on the cusp of this mega El Nino summer is either politically very brave or very foolish.

Crocodile tears. Albanese’s mother would probably have been homeless and considerably poorer if it was now under his PMship.

Hanson and albanese are both wealthy crocodiles staging a tiff for kayfabe’s sake.

The fascist and the neoliberal both want no public housing and people on Centrelink to be in poverty

No longer Adelaide, nor Darwin. (Aukus sub construction, US Marine base.)

They’ve now become targets.

Crushing the bikes so wastefully reminds me of deodand in the middle ages, like when they tried and punished a statue for falling on someone.

“The bikes are evil and they too must be punished”

Preserve Koala habitat that may be annually burnt out by the effects of global heating, driven in part by the extra carbon burned because of the deal for not chopping it down. Its a shit deal either way. I don’t envy anyone making this decision between such poor (and artificially contrived ) outcomes.

Im starting to wonder if data centres are a pretext to grab and hold licenses to as much fresh water as possible. Awaiting the announcement of their pivot to water speculating

This guy is why insurance is expensive.

“Suggest” and “could be used” are weasel words already. When they’re spoken by researchers with no say in how the budget is spent, i cant help feeling sceptical.

More likely it gets lost into general revenue with only some big media buys and ad campaigns to show for it; (with message variations of “Govt good😀, Sugar bad☹️” )

The photos are deceptive - taken with long exposure. The bioluminescence is actually very faint. You need a dark night with no clouds to see them glow. I’ve seen them closer to Adelaide - in Marc Oliphant Conservation Park, Kuitpo forest and Belair National Park. If anyone is interested I can share exact locations.

I think people underestimate all the potential channels for lobbying. Try to regulate the obvious channels and lobbyists will slither just out of sight and influence the people you aren’t watching.

Trading bribes and future jobs for introductions and influence is easy in a major political party with their powerbrokers and informal mates networks.

The gambling lobbyists voted down most of the ideas in their breakfast meeting with our PM.

Solid suggestions but missed “lock food in the car or esky” At Mambray creek from our deckchairs, we watched a 1.5m water monitor ransack the campsite opposite us over half an hour. Ate scraps out of their firepit, Managed to get its front half into their food bag hanging on the camp kitchen with its tail whipping around in circles. It even licked a couple of their mugs on the table. The grandad came back and i told him to wash his cups because a goanna had been licking them. He just simpered and avoided my eyes as if i was crazy.

Someone should pitch the reality show “Farmer wants a Slave”.

So this these “initiatives funded by the tax”, this will be dental in medicare?….right?
