The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is a national treasure. It gets the best price from US pharmaceutical corps, protecting us from exorbitant prices that US citizens pay.

Congrats to PM Albanese for consistently defending the PBS from Big Pharma.

"Watt’s decision to give the long-awaited environmental approval for the North West Shelf project to be extended to 2070 was a bad decision — a craven, cowardly capitulation to corporate power and political expediency" - @beneltham.bsky.social www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/29/m...

"NSW flooding: PM delivers climate crisis warning as flood-hit region braces for strong winds and fifth body found" as he approves a 50 yr extension to Woodside's gas operation in WA. Hypocrite. #voteGreen for real action on climate #auspol

Regional NSW is being smashed by a '1-in-500-year' flood, one person has died, three are missing and 50,000 people are isolated by floodwaters.

Meanwhile, Albanese is considering the country's biggest new fossil fuel project, the proposed NW Shelf extension... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Thanks to everyone who attended our Curtin University workshop last week. It was a great success and we really enjoyed showing what Biosecurity Commons can do!

30% of the primary vote and falling; already doing preference deals to exclude independents: how long before we see a Labor-Liberal-National coalition in Australia? #auspol

Why is sex so common if it's so costly?
Super excited to share our new preprint “Sex decreases the pleiotropic costs of local adaptation”, where we bring a new angle to this age-old evolutionary question. Co-led by Parris Humphrey, in Michael Desai's lab. Short thread here: (1/n)

Which milks have the lowest environmental impact? My colleague Raychel Santo provides an overview of her recent paper here: www.wri.org/insights/mil... 🧪

Climate change discourse has gone backwards in Australia. We now have an opposition leader who wants to incentivise the burning of fossil fuels — and the incumbent government isn't much better.

It actually exists! A few copies of my new book just arrived. Nice to see it in person, finally.

If you've ever wondered about the ecology or evolution of an invasive population, this one's for you. #evobio 🌏 #bioinvasions #ecoevo

Oh, how the tables have turned

Is everyone huffing paint?

Crypto guy claims to have built an LLM-based tool to detect errors in research papers; funded using its own cryptocurrency; will let coin holders choose what papers to go after; it's unvetted and a total black box—and Nature reports it as if it's a new protein structure.

Tim Winton makes visceral the reality of inaction on climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

…and ask your independent about this ^ while you’re at it.

There has never been a better time to support an independent focussed on integrity and climate. If you agree, consider volunteering for them. #auspol

"The biggest changes to election laws in 40 years should have faced proper scrutiny by a multi-party parliamentary inquiry" @browne90.bsky.social.

This Labor/LNP stitch-up is another reason why a progressive cross-bench must hold balance of power. #auspol
