✨ Every year on or around yesterday’s Saint Martin’s Day, Germans celebrate the Roman soldier turned saint who shared his cloak with a beggar freezing in the cold.
A common tradition is a lantern walk for which children make paper lanterns, walk through town and sing songs.

The 2011 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded for the discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating based on data from supernovae. A new analysis now looks at a larger data set & finds that the Nobel Prize winning conclusion doesn't hold up.

These are the biggest reforms to Australia’s environment laws in 25 years.
Our laws must protect nature, give industry clarity, and ensure communities have a real say.
I’ll work in good faith with the Government to get this right.
