Labor and Liberal governments have passed 49 anti-protest laws across the country over the last two decades.

It is damning (& history will judge us harshly) but no surprise that 🇦🇺 leads the world on climate protest arrests.

Australia leads the world in arresting climate and environment protesters

A new study shows more than 20 per cent of climate and environment protests in Australia lead to arrests, more than in the UK, Norway, and the United States.

Woden town centre is very concrete-y but there’s still a surprising amount of birdlife and it’s lovely. They are all singing atm.

The Public Service is smaller than under John Howard & I agree with Glyn Davis - its work is honourable & necessary.

Senior coalition members say 36,000 jobs will be cut.

These cuts would be devastating for the ACT & 🇦🇺ns seeking support from services.

A week ago I visited the RSPCA Shelter in Weston and met this wonderful little guy - Aussie.

In great news, Aussie has been adopted!

Please get in touch with @rspca.bsky.social if you would like to consider an adoption:

A Tawny Frogmouth chick sits on the branch of a gumtree, watching the photographer with its yellow eyes. The downy fluff is moulting to make way for the more camouflaged adult plumage.

But I reckon >95% of market customers get there by car, with the expectation that it will be convenient to shop, drop stuff into their car, and drive back home. Aren’t they just catering to the majority of their clientele?

The Fyshwick Fresh Food Market in Canberra, Australia is a classic case of car optimised, pedestrian neglecting design.

The market is centred on the car park. Car parks also take up space that could be used for more stores/stalls.

These days I feel it begins to look a lot 'less' like Christmas in the capital. Its like our local gov doesn't go out of its way to decorate the streets of the city like they use too.

Ken Behrens, what do you think about our yearly attempts of a Christmas tree? #CBR #Canberra #KenBehrens

Additional 10,000 Aussies a month falling into homelessness moves us from crisis towards a country none of us want.

More action from all levels of govt is urgent.

Important work from Homelessness Aus & Prof Hal Pawson from UNSW City Futures.
www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Extra 10,000 Australians becoming homeless each month, up 22% in three years, report says

Almost half were couch surfing or living in short-term accommodation, UNSW and Homelessness Australia say
