Even the mildest of fires can take out hollow-bearing trees, which are absolutely crucial for wildlife.

Right now, there's a consultation happening which could result in FFMV's activities becoming exempt from regulation under the federal environment act: the EPBC. It is so crucial that this is stopped. 🔥

I can't manage a march today but the Invasion Day speeches were as inspiring as ever, and as I left the large crowd was still growing. The people who want truth, treaty and justice are far greater in number than the fascists.

Stepping down before the decision was made to uninvite Randa Abdel-Fattah might, perhaps, have been honourable. Stepping down after the decision, after all the damage it’s precipitated, and leaving it up to someone else to clean up the mess and try to salvage the wider festival is deeply shameful.
