At Wildlife SOS we work to save India’s wildlife, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love ALL animals. We want to thank India’s Supreme Court for intervening on behalf of Delhi’s street dogs. Tragedy was averted. Please join us in thanking the court.

We promised cutting student debt would be the first thing we did back in Parliament.

And this week we're introducing the legislation to make it happen.

Because getting an education shouldn't mean a lifetime of debt.

Although he remains stiff from osteo-arthritis, it’s glorious to see Tarzan exploring his habitat at the #ADIWildlifeSanctuary. We made modifications to his favored den, adding extra insulation and heating. Tanya has remained with him throughout and they are as close as ever.

Europe's heatwave is hitting wildlife hard. Here's how you can help:
Leave shallow water bowls with stones
Let gardens grow wild for shade & food
Create wildlife-friendly spaces
Walk pets in cooler hours & bring water
Small acts make a big difference!

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

If the Government is interested in tax reform, we have a few ideas.

Between taxing the gas industry, fixing tax loopholes and ending fossil fuel subsidies, these changes could raise up to $63 billion, supporting better services and reducing inequality.

Two days after the deadly Texas floods, FEMA struggled to answer calls from survivors to its disaster assistance line.

Why? Because hundreds of employees who answered phones were fired after Kristi Noem didn't approve new contracts.

Kristi Noem refuses to address FEMA's failure
to support Texas flood victims.

FEMA call centers failed Texas flood victims after thousands of calls went unanswered. This failure came after hundreds of call center contractors were let go when their contracts expired on July 5.

The ABC is flat out trash talking the ALP and spewing out LNP talking points on the evening news. If they had replayed what the Prime Minister said at lunch, evening viewers would have understood the achievements in China today.
If they replayed Jim Chalmers in full they would have had some truth
