@CaitStorr Etymology nerd 🤓: from French sancire: to make inviolable. From Latin base sacer = sacred. old meaning was “a solemn oath. Later, binding force given to an oath; a thing which makes a law or oath binding”. (OED). So...? Sanction = to make x [permit] or y [proscribe] binding???

Platypus are making world news. An issue of international conservation significance. Charles Darwin met them on the Coxs River, near Lithgow, in 1836. That site is now polluted and impounded by power station cooling water. Yes, platypus are long gone.
