The article neatly showcases male privilege; talking about disagreeing with a (female) senior about a leadership decision; whitewashing the sheer stupidity of what was said; failing to engage with the valid questions about attitude. But the person in question still has career progression 🤷🏻♂️ #auspol

It's all great and wonderful to plant trees, but that doesn't make up for the massive losses of decades/centuries old trees lost to bushfires + logging like the world has never seen before.
A little pet peeve. It’s not exactly that tropical rainforests have “gone from being allies in the fight against climate breakdown to being part of the problem.” Forests lose carbon when people cut them (or via fire) and gain carbon when trees grow. It’s that the losing is outweighing the gaining.
Africa’s forests transformed from carbon sink to carbon source, study finds
Alarming shift since 2010 means planet’s three main rainforest regions now contribute to climate breakdown

How to win a legal fight, Andrew Forrest style: 🧵
1) hire the best defense eg: Corrigan "In 2023, he authored a report for gas giant Santos that found no evidence of cultural heritage sites along the proposed Barossa pipeline route — conclusions later disputed by the Tiwi land council."

This is true: both the steak and Barnaby Joyce are a product of Gina Rinehart's minimum investment for maximum returns. She's killing it.
Editorial: You can say this about Barnaby Joyce: it took him eating dinner in Pauline Hanson’s parliamentary office to realise how much he resembles a steak cooked on an open sandwich press.
