A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Funny you should say that. The Coalition gave up on farmers b4 the last big drought, when Australia was a tinderbox & plagues of mice were everywhere. Again, the Liberal Party had no problem following them after they'd successfully created a deadly state of putrefaction in the Murray Darling #Auspol

Dingoes ARE NOT domestic dogs, multiple lines of evidence demonstrate this.
Dingoes ARE NOT ideal pets, they require extensive and special care.
Dingoes ARE very important to First Nations peoples, and Australia's ecosystems.
This proposed change is a very bad idea www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Queensland considers changes that could see dingoes in dog parks
People could be allowed to keep dingoes as pets in Queensland under proposed changes to biosecurity regulations, but experts say the native animal is fundamentally different to domestic dogs.

Just days after Labor’s new Aged Care co-payments took effect, and older people are facing being forced off supports they can no longer afford, profiteers are leaping into the sector to make a buck.

Emissions reduction targets won’t solve the climate crisis if they’re built on fiction. It's time for the government to tackle the biggest source of carbon emissions in Australia – fossil fuels.
