I fixed the front page of today’s West Australian newspaper.
We have campaigned for years to reform Australia’s broken nature laws. But the mining lobby appears to have won.
I’m not surprised, just gutted.
RIP koala, gang-gangs, greater gliders… and many, many more precious and unique species.

In Australia, Labor MP Yasmin Catley has described peaceful protests at the world’s largest coal port as “self-serving stunts” after police lost a court bid to stop the action.
Wonder if Yasmin ever considers the self-serving fossil fuel executives profiteering over our children’s future?

I’m about 90% sure this is a sugar glider and a young one too. Any nature experts, please jump in!
My brother spotted it while gardening. Very rare to see one of these beautiful creatures during the day given they’re nocturnal. I just hope it’s okay in the extreme heat we’re witnessing.

A magnificent Gang-Gang cockatoo, having a sip in the Otways this time last year. Tonight bushfires are burning a few towns away from where this pic was taken.
Gang-Gangs are endangered in parts of Australia. And every unnatural disaster worsened by global heating pushes them closer to the brink.

Disaster season has well and truly begun in Australia. Firies are battling bushfires in Victoria’s west while residents in the state’s north east and other parts of the country are bracing for chaotic rain and flash flooding.

The gas export stall at COP29 is a literal hot mess.
And the crowds of people showing interest speaks volumes…

I meant to do this ages ago but finally got around to it - this is a 'getting started on climate bluesky' doc that gathers up basic intro stuff, climate starter packs and climate feeds
*Please* reply with everything I've forgotten (which is a lot), I had to smash this out quickly last night!

Well hi Bluesky! I’m Freya - here you’ll find me writing about climate and nature issues in Australia. This pic is from a recent platypus search in regional New South Wales. Did you know Australia is a global deforestation hotspot and has lost more mammal species than anywhere else in the world?
