Great piece highlighting how it isn't a choice between agriculture and environment - not only can we work with both, but we must.

Accelerating the transfer of science to the paddock is becoming increasingly critical as we adapt to the changing climate 🧪

This farm hides a delicate ecosystem where bulls and birds live in harmony

This was on my trousers when I came in from the garden. No idea what it is and image search didn't have any matches. Anybody know?

Shocking events at Bondi targeting innocent people. I feel for Jewish and Muslim communities. This act has such wide repercussions. On a trivial personal level Greek heritage Oz born son in law looks Middle Eastern and has been pulled over every time at airports etc for 24 years, since 9/11.

I thought it was a tinfoil hat theory. Then I checked facts. Big Oil knew 50 yrs ago what their policies would do & pushed ahead anyway. That's criminal. After 20+ yrs responding to climate disasters, I know ordinary people pay the price. It’s time Big Oil faced the music. Full article w receipts:

Front garden is a native wilderness. Look what popped up courtesy of local wildlife. Probably dianella. Other photo shows wahlenbergia stricta and various bulbines.

Why wouldn’t farmers do this on their own initiative? Costs would be tax deductible.
David Lindenmayer, Bruce Chapman and John Mitchell: A rare win-win for climate, farming and biodiversity – if policymakers act
Restoring Australia's farm dams could slash emissions, improve water quality, boost livestock productivity, and enhance biodiversity – all at low cost.

Frost in Canberra this morning. The rule is not to plant out tomatoes until after Melbourne Cup. Sigh. Usually works but not this year. Back to square 1. But the superb fairy wrens were twittering in the shrubbery and a butcher bird sounding like someone learning to whistle.

"Supporting net zero is a lot easier than defining it. The maths behind net zero is easy; in theory, if carbon removals from tree growth or carbon capture and storage match emissions, then net zero works.

But the problem isn’t the maths. It’s the biology, the economics and the bullshit." #auspol
Like ‘housing affordability’ ‘net zero’ has become one of those meaningless political sayings

Labors support for net zero hasn’t stopped them supporting new coal or gas or from spending billions on fossil fuel subsidies

Whitlam’s legacy is one of possibility and hope. He showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like.
Whitlam showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like.  And 50 years later, you have to wonder – is it even possible to make Australia brave again?

Green manure crop before reaping. Have planted this for a few years and vege patch has transformed from compacted mostly clay to rich black loam. And no, the bloke doesn't wander about on Halloween with his scythe. 😁

Was the gospel preached at #Kirk’s memorial service? The short answer is no. Though some good words were said at the service, lives normally preach louder than words. #auspol #charliekirk
