Looking across all Australian states and territories, there doesn't appear to be a single one that actually knows how to conduct a healthy, seasonally appropriate burn. They always do it too late in the season, burn too hot, too extensively, or in the wrong locations. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

The conservatives forces using the Bondi Massacre to instigate a crackdown of freedoms of speech and the right to assembly are completely disgusting.

Protesting genocide and the actions of the Netanyahu Israeli govt are not antisemitic.

Sussan Ley out there fostering hate and division. The Liberal Party has not learned one lesson from its election loss. They only now appeal to extremists.

Using the “first they came for” lines is so fucking gross.

Also her team putting in “applause” is truly pathetic.

Looking back on the murder of the brilliant and astonishing Ken Saro-Wiwa, 30 years on. He was executed for seeking to stop the despoilation of the Niger Delta by Shell. His murder prefigured much of what we have seen since. He remains a guiding light to us.

Air pollution from cars kills more people each year than the road toll.

Australia needs legislated clean air standards. The govt wouldn’t agree to include them in the environmental laws passed last week. I’ll keep trying - they’ll save lives.

Something to remember for you all as social media is swamped by people angry over a man they've never met - especially in Australia where that American white guy's killing is being fed out and manipulated by Advance and the Atlas group.

You're being played.

All of it is scripted agit-prop trash.
