"I'd love to vote and say, 'hey I've been counted for' (but) right now I'm not having my say." Great article by @GayleBall19 out of #ABCBrokenHill about the most vulnerable people in our country missing out on their democratic right https://t.co/NgliaJ4tJq

They led marches on horseback, insulted police officers and started their own hospitals. Broken hill's 'rebel women' shaped the town and its role in the union movement. @BrokenHillCity #History #Herstory #Union

Devastating news about Notre Dame, a genuine shame to see a beautiful, historic, spiritual place destroyed. In Australia, this happens all the time - usually for the purposes of mining, development or - in the case of the 800+ year old Djab Wurrung birthing trees - a highway.

"Our children learned out in the bush and we still do that today."
All new public #school teachers in Broken Hill are welcomed by the local Indigenous community with a cultural induction they say will improve school for students and #teachers . https://t.co/9qJTwJ1xFY

A few scenes from today’s @nswalc rally at Menindee. About 300 people (or two thirds the town’s population) took to the street, and held a minute’s silence for the Darling River. It’s almost become a cliche to say that there is so much anger in these Darling River towns.

“Will the Government be fined for killing all our food?” Hundreds of people rally at towns along the Darling River in far west NSW calling for a royal commission into the management of the Murray-Darling Basin. @nswalc @declangooch

Wilcania mob's "mango pickle down river" was about this river.

Stop killing the river!!!!!! #wilcania #DarlingRiver

My lab (UNSW) and colleagues at Newcastle Uni would like to collect numerous samples to test Cyanobacteria ("blue-green algae") in currently affected waters from Menindee Lakes, Darling River & other affected areas. If you'd be willing to collect these for us can you let me know?

[Aimee Volkofsky @aimeevol]

Residents in Menindee, the far-west NSW town where a million fish were recently found dead, say their drinking water is rancid and making them sick. @essentialenergy says their water quality is up to standard. Listen to Australia Wide from 6 tonight https://t.co/fxFbBwMoiT

It’s no wonder Broken Hill has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in NSW when the local paper characterises a terrifying attack like this as a grumpy dad “ruining” his kid’s party

[Declan Gooch @declangooch]

The Nats must be worried about losing Barwon in the next NSW election. The line from the NSW govt for more than a year was that they’d ruled out a new Wilcannia weir - because a recently-completed business case that found a new weir didn’t meet cost-benefit requirements (1/2)

@BushHeritageAus is listening out for the song of critically #endangered #bird Plains-wanderer. They're pretty good at impersonating them too! https://t.co/JtvDm41tFz
