This opening of wounds is real and tough. I'm deleting Twitter for a bit because I need to take care of me. Thanks @AmyRemeikis for the reminder.

$0.5 billion for war memorial "cool and normal"

$0.5 billion for aged care "will test the budget"

Protests in Rubicon on Taungurung continued today, stopping logging machines from going into precious forests where citizen scientists found 6 Greater Gliders last night! Gliders are still being logged where they're found, @DanielAndrewsMP needs to protect these forests.

[Our Strathbogie Forest @ourstrathforest]

Here today supporting #SaveSnobsCreek. These forests have incredible value as biodiversity hotspots #GreaterGlider
Beautiful natural recreation area #tourism

Why log it for paper and pulp?

Protect living ecosystems now @DanielAndrewsMP @LilyDAmbrosioMP

[Jennie Minifie @up_possums]

We must stop cutting down our forests! @MarkMcGowanMP @DanielAndrewsMP @marshall_steven @ABarrMLA @GladysB @AnnastaciaMP @PeterGutwein @fanniebay Our children’s children should inherit a continent of protected forests & wildlife, with a population that is engaged in conservation.

[Laura Binks @BinkaBinks]

Yes! Please help us gather and protect these ecosystems @GretaThunberg rather than destroy them as we currently are. 🌏🙌💙

[Prof. Euan Ritchie (@euanritchie.bsky.social) @EuanRitchie1]

Hi @GretaThunberg. The world *really* needs to hear about what's happening to Australia's iconic environments and species. Can you help us, please?

[Laura Binks @BinkaBinks]

😭 this mindless destruction of critical ecosystems devastates me. We must do better.

If we believe in innocent until proven guilty, why do we lock up asylum seekers before we process their applications? #auspol #Insiders #CabinetRapist

Under a little-known treaty, big polluters are suing governments for taking climate action. Join to stop this absurd treaty & RT: https://t.co/f8Zr4cquWn

More good news! Last night, Murrindindi Councillors unanimously passed a motion to save 8 coupes from logging by VicForests.

Located on Dry Creek Hill above Snobs Creek waterfall, these are the heart of future tourist activities in the region.

Are you listening, @CeoForests?

I can’t lie, it feels pretty shabby that at Parliament’s International Women’s Day breakfast we are being spoken to by two men - the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition - about the issues facing women.
This week of all weeks.....

Midnight thoughts:

What we have lost is our ambition for reconciliation. The ambition has been sedated, almost nullified by nodding heads and knowing looks. Well meaning; meaning without understanding. A form of benign sympathy. Kindness without ambition is merely tolerance.

[Helen Haines MP @helenhainesindi]

I’m so proud today to bring a group of my constituents to Canberra to launch the Australian Local Power Agency Bill. I invite all regional MPs to join us and harness the potential of renewables to drive an economic boom in regional Australia.

[Georgie Dent @georgiedent]

If the PM accepts workplace sexual harassment & even assault is prevalent in Oz why has he not actioned a SINGLE recommendation from @Kate_Jenkins_' historic & revolutionary workplace sexual harassment inquiry? (As detailed by @KZiwica in @WomensAgenda) https://t.co/wLt9lBgIVk

[Laura Binks @BinkaBinks]

Yes! Australian farmer do get it! Do you @LiberalAus? Your mates @Barnaby_Joyce & co don't. @AnikaMolesworth @farmingforever @NationalFarmers

[Helen Haines MP @helenhainesindi]

Renewables are good for farmers. Dave Ritchie from Mansfield in my electorate, has just installed a new solar array with batteries and aims to have his whole farm hit net zero by 2025. Australian farmers get it - renewables save you money and build energy security.

[Laura Binks @BinkaBinks]

This moment in @ScottMorrisonMP's political life is one of the worst in my minds. His simple action spoke volumes. #accountability #smashthepatriarchy #quotaswork #respect #equality #equity #women #auspoI

[Tarang / तरंग (he/him) @tarang_chawla]

Remember that time a female government minister was asked by a journalist about her experiences in parliament as a woman, but a man abruptly interrupted her. That same man says he's fit for the job of addressing the mistreatment of women in parliament. Yep. I know.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

"One of the UK’s most eminent environmental scientists has called the government’s failure to block a new coalmine in Cumbria 'absolutely ridiculous'".

This is worth sharing for the picture alone!
This is exactly what approving a new coal mine looks like.https://t.co/FL1CU5Gm0v
