Netanyahu’s political career with the cease fire is over.

He needs to be charged with war crimes and genocide.

I'm about to head off for a couple of weeks, to where there's no phone and very limited internet - but lots of birds 🐥😃

I'll probably not post too much while I'm away so here's a parting bird photo: a Lewin's Honeyeater, from a couple of days ago..

DHA says backlog of partner visa apps is 98,000 (beating Dutton’s record). With 40,500 planning level in 25-26 & new apps in 25-26 of 60,000, backlog will keep growing despite law requiring these to be processed on a demand driven basis. A class action now seems inevitable.

I went for a ride out to Parramatta this morning (about 2.5hrs in total) and it really struck me how many drivers are willing to use their vehicles to intimidate cyclists. Driving close; cutting into the bike lane on corners; revving aggressively right behind you...

This could have been Australia, but thanks to John Howard, Tony Abbott, Scott Morrison, the Minerals Council and the BCA, we wasted nearly 20 years subsidising gas and coal instead. What a waste.

China ≠ just coal plants and solar exports. The deeper shift: electrifying everything it can. Strategic, because China relies on imported fossil fuels. Coal is still king in the power mix—for now. But the balance is changing year by year.

This is seriously beyond parody… an elite Australian sports person and Senator kicked out of the parliamentary sports club for not sufficiently brown nosing the gambling lobby. If that doesn’t illustrate where we are, nothing will #AusPol

Australian Pelican was just flinging by ready for me to take it's photo. 📸🐦😊

A large Australian pelican with a long, pale blue bill and a white body is captured mid-flight, wings fully extended against a vibrant backdrop. The background is a layer of ocean waves crashing against an orange sandy reef with more ocean below that is blue. The pelican's dark flight feathers contrast with its white underparts, and its wings show a clear span, indicating a powerful glide. The overall impression is one of serene flight over a colourful, tranquil seascape

Final day of Senate Estimates & it's a big one.

I'm getting answers from DFAT on our government’s role in Japan’s greenwashing, then digging into the glaring loopholes in our childcare system's safety regulations which continue to fail our children and parents.

A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/qdnOZFWWrfXB...
