“study has found about half of the variation..in modern dogs existed during the Stone Age, challenging conventional wisdom that this diversity mostly emerged during the Victorian era Experts say more research is needed to understand where outliers like dingoes fit in”

Once wolves became dogs they quickly diversified, study shows
The huge range of dog breeds that exists today is often thought of as a modern phenomenon, but new research suggests this vast diversity started thousands of years ago.

While everyone’s having fun laughing at the Coalition’s ‘climate policy’ Labor is munching popcorn and enjoying the complete lack of scrutiny of its failed ‘Safeguard Mechanism’.

If only tackling #climate change just required being better than the Coalition…

OECD report shows LNP climate irrelevance, while Safeguard Mechanism among least effective emissions reduction schemes in world
The report demonstrates that Australia’s safeguard mechanism remains one of the least effective programs for reducing emissions, and relies the most on carbon credits.

I was a kid when Whitlam was sacked.

My folks were among the middle class who believed the propaganda and voted Fraser.

As a kid it felt wrong. As an adult I know it was wrong.

This incident, fifty years ago today, should continue to inform us on how Australian politics really works.

Ending very active promotion is hardly censorship.

“I hope you are not suggesting that we should censor them?” Miller responded.

Scott Ludlam wrote a few things a few years back on “state capture” and it really sums up Australia’s craven giveaway of fossil fuel resources to foreign corps
Australia Institute research shows the gas industry pays ZERO royalties on more than half the gas exported from Australia.

"Other people in the rest of the world are making a fortune out of Australia's gas exports.... Australia is getting taken for a ride."

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

It's extraordinary that political elites here can look at average one child an hour murdered by the Israeli military for TWO YEARS, and go 'ho-hum, all good'.

What's more, if even mention this, you are an evil person, need to be sacked, cancelled, charged with wildly redefined 'antisemitism'.
UNICEF spokesperson James Elder on apartheid Israel's genocidal crimes against Palestinian children in Gaza. "Now we havr 20,000 children reportedly killed. It’s a girl or a boy every hour for two years. Every hour.
It’s 1000 babies killed before their first birthday."
