I spent last week in an intensive 5 day workshop learning how to weave a willow coffin. Deeply satisfying to be weaving again, but the supplier wasn't terribly prepared, so we also learned advanced techniques to compensate.
I'll load completed shots later - plait and toggles missing here. #handmade

Dear ABC radio, please have somebody with more expertise than me explain to you why “renewables are the cheapest form of power” and “power prices have gone up in the last years in spite of increased renewables” are not contradictory statements. And why slowing renewables will not bring prices down.

Only Arabic: When 'multicultural' media turns to racial profiling
I recently noticed something troubling while watching a British drama on SBS On Demand. Between episodes — over two full seasons — I kept seeing advertisements about Victoria’s new bail laws.

Tasmanian’s groundbreaking financial redress scheme for victims of our former laws against homosexuality and cross-dressing have unanimously passed parliament. It’s a great day for victim survivors, for the LGBTIQA community and for cooperative politics.

Worth considering this transformation in the context of what we've seen domestically in SA, and the rapid transformation of WA's energy grid. It is absolutely possible to replicate Uruguay's success in Australia.
They don’t want this information getting out
Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels.
