Earlier in his National Press Club address today, Ted O'Brien mentioned his "20-year career in business", and now he wants to talk about "trust". 🙄

When a politician with 20 years of management consulting in their bio starts talking about trust, it's a sure sign they've got nothing. 😑

Andrew Hastie interrupted the Coalition's climate policy meeting to put on the record his praise for fossil fuel and to thank the leadership for the coal aspect of the new policy. “He didn't need to say it," one source said. "It was very bizarre.” satpa.pe/MyKwPAm

Hey, Trump. You don’t need to push Putin’s 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. Just go with the one point plan to end it: Russia gets the hell out of Ukraine.

But this “valley of the dead” is teeming with life. It’s just invisible. To us, at least. Bring a 🔬 and you’ll find a jungle of animals thriving in this environment that even the hardiest of penguins can’t survive in. As a wildlife filmmaker at the microscopic scale, this is where my story begins.
