So 44% of expected native fish species in the Macquarie-Wambuul River have not been seen in the last five years.
Of the other 56%, potentially some have only been seen once in the last five years in the Macquarie Wambuul River. 🤯

The US big horrific Bill wants to hand over public land to oil companies.
In Quebec there's a Bill to give access to one third of all forests to logging companies, even over First Nations territories.

Some economists have called for a radical ‘global wealth tax’ on billionaires. How would that work?
A wealth tax on billionaires would require global cooperation and get us into the tricky territory of taxing unrealised gains. But we already do that in some circumstances.

I'm sorry but Scott Morrison doesn't even deserve a participation award, let alone Australia's highest civilian honour. He actively obstructed vaccine rollout and then to top it off introduced Robodebt. My brother would say "He's not worth a boot in the arse". I'd have to agree. 🤬

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment.
Just unserious people.

Our planet is heading for a second year in a row above the 1.5°C "safe" climate goal. we must call this crisis what it is - a crime. It is a crime against humanity, and still today, our governments lay out the red carpets for these criminals to grow richer and richer as they steal our future.
