How is that ad hominem? He is pointing out the clear lack of direction from the labour leader. You can't deny that Labour under Starmer have been nothing but flip flopping on policy and appeasement to their current opposition.

Here comes the right wing histrionics. They're nothing if not predictable

As a plant ecologist I get "can you tell me what this is?" And then they show me an out of focus green blur on their phone. The other one is "that's nice, I like gardening too"

Check out those trichomes

Interesting, I'm wondering what Australian species that are becoming invasive there?

Same, I think Green party here could learn a lot. With Labor moving into the space vacated by the LNP we desperately need a left alternative.

In the last 10 years this grassland has started to experience an explosion of shrub encroachment from hedge wattle (Acacia paradoxa) and Wirilda (Acacia provincialis)

Not all of it is glamorous work. Here's one of my poo plots where we're removing kangaroo poo to estimate roo density.

Running at a loss while they draw the punters in, make them think they can't live without it and then they enshitify the hell out of it with ads, pop ups and all the other trash we've come to expect.

I remember years ago (about 2008/9) when question time brought the fascist, Nick Griffin, onto the show. I think they had a large uptick in viewers but for me it felt that this was the point they started chasing controversial characters on the far right for clicks and views.

They made a random bullshit generator.

I just ran the same google search but this time it tells me it's Ballan 🤦

Damn, how have I been commuting to Melbourne all these years?

Very disappointed with Labor this term.

Yea, but let's talk about wealth inequality instead, because we all know it isn't about teeth any more than it is about trans people using bathrooms. It's a game of smoke and mirrors to avoid talking about wealthy people like Clarkson paying their fair share in tax.

Labor starting to do exactly what Labour in the UK are doing.
