Australia's National Climate Risk Assessment models the future. Given its likely to be conservative, the cause for concern is more than alarming. The assessment's aim is to identify risks that can hopefully be addressed ahead of time... www.acs.gov.au/pages/nation... #Auspol2025 #climatechange

John Clarke celebrated by his filmmaker daughter, Lorin, in new documentary. The quintessential observer of the absurdity of the political domain, poking fun at public figures with charm and grace. Some of his best work on the The Fred Dagg Tapes. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... #Auspol2025 #humor

Writer and performer Lorin Clarke ropes in the cream of Australia's comedy crop to celebrate the life and work of her father, John, in her new documentary.

Sad to read this S. Always enjoyed his columns and his ABC radio show. He will remain in my memory as the only journo to stick it up Kerry Packer all those years ago. Albeit little good it did him - the Goanna summarily dismissed him in response.

Earth’s land carbon sink has nearly vanished for the second year in a row.
Heat, logging, mining, “green” energy, grazing, construction.
We’re not only heating the planet, but dismantling its ability to cool itself.
