Dottie, a bottlenose dolphin who lived 39 years at SeaWorld, died this week without ever feeling the rhythm of the ocean, or the freedom she deserved. SeaWorld describes Dottie as a devoted mother of four calves, but they separated her from every single one of them. That is not devotion, that is the reality of captivity, where profit determines family bonds. Dottie was born into concrete tanks and died in them. She never experienced the open sea. She spent her life performing for tourists, not because it was natural or enriching, but because SeaWorld's business model depends on it. SeaWorld positions itself as an institution rooted in marine science. They know, because the science is unambiguous, that cetaceans are highly intelligent, wide-ranging, socially complex animals. They know that no tank, however large, can meet the physical or psychological needs of a dolphin. And yet they continue their breeding program, ensuring that more animals like Dottie will be born into the same captive cycle, never knowing the life they were meant to live. Dottie's story should not end with a tribute post. It should end with change. SeaWorld must end its dolphin breeding program now. No more calves born into captivity. No more mothers separated from their young. No more lives defined by performance and concrete walls. Dottie deserved better. The dolphins who come after her deserve better.

Let’s put that into perspective: Pauline Hanson received a pay rise worth around $100,000 a year a 42.5% increase while reportedly attending only 53% of Senate votes. At the same time, she opposed a pay rise of around $3,000 for some of Australia’s lowest-paid workers. A six-figure increase for politicians, but objections when working Australians get a modest boost to help with rising costs. Where’s the media outrage? Where’s the scrutiny? #auspol

ABC must fire Charlie Pickering immediately! Pickering has platformed a wife basher Avi Yemini, whilst attacking a brave young autistic woman. ABC must take action! @ABCaustralia @charliepick #auspol @abcnews #IStandWithGraceTame
