Music that lifts, empowers you or makes you cry.
In just the last 48 hours I've listened to multiple songs that will stay with me

How shocking: Nats misinterpreting data 🙀 #AusPol
"More recent analysis by NZA looked only at energy system costs in Australia and found the cumulative cost of reaching a net zero target by 2050 was $309bn when compared to building an energy system that ignored any need to cut greenhouse gases."

I don’t think the majority of aussies have paid attention to what will happen when the ‘under 16’ social media ban comes into effect. Once they realise they too will have to provide either ID or allow their face to be analysed just to access their SM the push back will be fierce. #auspol
