Having Tony Abbot commenting on the new Lib leadership is the height of absurdity. Does the MSM remember that he lost his seat to Teal Independent Zali Steggal? Do they see the irony? And with an Indie running in the Farrer by-election? Maybe they're getting us used to Indie-dominant guvs? #Auspol

It's a good step that the LECC will investigate police misconduct and violence at Town Hall during the anti-Herzog protest. Now we need an independent investigation of the political incitement to violence by the NSW Premier and others.

It's Judy Blume's birthday. She's 88 today.
Back in 2013, she said, "It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers."

China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink
Huge-scale ecological engineering around the edges of one of the world's largest and driest deserts has turned it into a carbon sink that absorbs more CO2 than it emits, research suggests.

The last wild European bison was shot in 1927. At the time there were fewer than 60 such bison alive in zoos & private parks. Now, the great, shaggy beasts are once again roaming the Carpathian Mountains.
