This is Braemar State Forest. The NSW Govt is about to log it. It’s koala habitat & koalas live here (only just). Around 70% of the koala population was wiped out by the19/20 black summer fires! They’ll be extinct 2050. It’ll cost taxpayers to log it. #koalas#extinction#nswpol
I'll be doing something on Monday that is long overdue. I'll be tabling a Private Members’ Bill to ban gambling advertising on broadcast. I announced this to Goldstein on Thursday night. Watch their reactions. This is now a live issue. #BanSportsGambling#auspol
#Lützerath vs open-pit coal mines, between dreams & utopia in the era of #climatecrisis. This was probably a symbol or will be remembered as such. Now it is gone. More will come. #Copernicus#Sentinel2 🛰️ 2022 - 2023
"As the thangka market has grown, businesses have moved into Wutun and begun trying to mass produce paintings. Some workshops resemble factory assembly lines: Painters complete the thangka as a team, with each artist adding the same detail again and again"

Preferential voting means every single vote counts at every stage, even when it comes to deciding which of the last two candidates ends up elected. That’s a good system. The idea we should go to some bullshit system because Murdoch didn’t like the outcome is total arsehattery.
The Australian making the extremely valuable point that if we had an entirely different vote counting system we might get different results. What we really need to know is who’d have won if only white male property owners were allowed to vote.
These tree frogs dunk their entire bodies into milk fruit's flowers for the nectar. When they emerge, pollen gets stuck to their body. Then they transport the pollen to their next tropical buffet — the first example of a frog that pollinates. https://t.co/7C9csfdRqS
“It was at that point that it dawned on us how huge it was … it was so galling that [we] couldn’t quite believe how [the government was] justifying it.” How @knausc and @lukehgomes covered the Robodebt scandal. By @caitecassidy and @marnicordell https://t.co/aOheOtZCMR

When they make “masks” to hydrate, soothe and protect the penis, come back and talk to us about fucking “vulva masks”.
Stop claiming women’s genitals (unless for a specific medical reason) require hydrating, soothing or protecting.
This is just another way women and girls are taught our anatomy is inferior, dirty or inadequate as is.
Nobody makes “penis masks” because men aren’t taught their genitals require specific products to be acceptable.
@PricelineAU like to say they’re a feminist company but not only do they pull misogynist stunts like this, they’re also a huge #NewsCorpse advertiser.
FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT.
This is history - an Indigenous Rio Tinto director (former WA Treasurer Ben Wyatt), addresses the mining giant’s AGM, defending its corporate support for The Voice in response to a slightly hostile question from the floor.
The Kremlin is trying to hide the truth about the war in Ukraine from the Russian people:
🤐 shutting down independent broadcasters
🤐 blocking access to online international news
🤐 criminalising criticism on social media
#DefendMediaFreedom#WorldPressFreedomDay
Unverified video footage published online appears to show a drone descending toward the Kremlin Senate before bursting into flames.

Another missile attack on #Ukraine overnight. All missiles and drones heading towards #Kyiv shot down. Frontline towns not so lucky.
Still, glory to Ukraine’s air defense - & THANK YOU to decent nations of the world giving us air-defense systems!
#StandWithUkraine
The Ukrainian Air Force says 9 Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers from Murmansk Oblast and two Tu-160 strategic bombers from the Caspian Sea area launched 18 Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles, 15 of which were shot down.

The free world is allowing the rules based international order to decay. A nuclear power executing a war of aggression on a sovereign nation & then implementing a policy of targeting civilians as a form of warfare - committing war crimes daily. We need leadership in stopping it.
