And two years passed/و‌ دو سال گذشت

Two years have passed since the fall of Kabul and the situation is getting worse day by day. No one understands the game of politics.
The whole world,with all their greatness and power,could not dethrone the illiterate and regressive Taliban!

I’m desperately imagining a time when we have an Environment Minister that speaks out publicly and says no more, no longer will we destroy life that is so extraordinary, rare, majestic, and irreplaceable.

Maybe that could be you, @tanya_plibersek? https://t.co/apH0aeVjiY

This is the best explainer on the scale of the #stage3taxcuts

It's a staggering amount of money, foregone tax revenue - most going to wealthy men.

When I was born, rich Australians had about 16% of our economic wealth.

By contrast, my soon to arrive granddaughter will be born into a country where the rich have most of our economic wealth, and the Govt is helping them to take more.
Stop #stage3taxcuts

[Dr Andrew Miller - bring back disease prevention @drajm]

I recall govt health advisors trying to calm me in 2020 - saying ‘if we go too hard with things like masks & HEPA now, the public will reject them later in the pandemic when deaths are up & we really need them’.

Deaths are up now & they sit & blink, watching.

Great to see how covid is getting so much more mild now that everyone has been infected so many times:

"Australians don't want to pick fruit."

Actually we don't want wage theft, poor conditions, terrible accomodation, risk of sexual assault & yes, death. Lets talk about why farmers can't pay minimum wage & totally dependent on exploration of desperate undocumented labor instead.

love is real. and it’s cuddles in the morning. it’s alternating yawns. it’s one reeeally big stretch. as the sun begins to spill across the household

Here are my six steps to sustainability.

[Empirical Steve…just the facts @AussieSteve6]

What’s the trigger to say “we got this wrong and need to reduce transmission”? Serious question…anyone care to hazard a guess?

[Prof Kathy Eagar AM @keagar.bsky.social @k_eagar]

We have had more COVID deaths in the first 20 days of 2023 than we had in the whole of 2020. Our death toll in 2023 is 1,063 deaths in just 20 days. A person dies of COVID every 27 minutes. Our current COVID containment strategy is not working

[Dan Suan @DanSuan2]

COVID is absolutely not a seasonal virus.

It’s summer and we’re simply normalising thousands of people in hospital on any given day, with hundreds of deaths a week, and wondering why our systems are all under strain.

It’s up to us if we are OK with this or not.

We couldn’t not share this bee-autiful footage of a blue-banded bee. 🐝

It’s one of the many invertebrates we’re buzzing with excitement for you to find and record with @atlaslivingaust.

Highly politicised view, but interesting long read especially the science section "The Lies and the Truth"

[Rachel Withers @rachelrwithers]

Peter Dutton is incapable of acting in good faith, and the sooner we all accept that the better.

Who’d have thought that if we handed control of our entire gas resource to a bunch of global resource giants, they’d evade tax, mercilessly price gouge us for our own resources, then withhold supply when we tried to stop them!?!

Not our governments, clearly #auspol
