Also, 'involved in death' seems a rather unhelpful headline given the Coroner's report.
🙄 😠 Tragedy x 2!

"Queensland government officers will euthanase a pack of dingoes involved in the death of a Canadian backpacker on K'gari. A coroner's report found Piper James was bitten by dingoes before she died, but drowning was the most likely cause of death."

Whether it's illegal to say it or not (?), Israel is quite clearly committing genocide in Palestine. The Australian government (but not the Australian people) is quite clearly supporting it. And our farce of a democracy is being further eroded so people don't speak this truth.

COVID-19 is still a major issue in aged care. I guess old, frail people dying is just one of those things in the government's view of the world. There have been no improvements to reduce transmission since the pandemic started in residential care facilities. Now we'll be totally in the dark.
"The Australian Government has made a decision to no longer publish data about COVID-19 cases in Australian residential aged care facilities on a weekly basis."

If you're still calling for a shark cull, you're demonstrating your ignorance about shark behaviour & our ability to meaningfully change the probability of exceedingly rare events.

Killing sharks, incl. listed threatened species, would need EPBC approval. A test for Murray Watt.
Shark culls have been happening in QLD & NSW, for decades, through shark nets & drumlines. They're diabolical for sharks & other wildlife, including whales, dolphins, dugongs & sea turtles.

They do stuff all to improve safety, but education does! 👉 www.sharksmart.nsw.gov.au/staying-safe

As Bill Gates recommends a “strategic pivot” away from climate change, the Gates Foundation made record investments in fossil fuel companies in 2024, despite its 2019 pledge to divest.

No one should ever listen to Gates about climate change again.

We did patrols around Harcourt the day after the fire came through & hosed down old trees along the roadsides that were still burning. Terrible to see the loss. And that was before they did 'clean up' for safety. The cumulative loss of old trees is hard to bear.

Successive governments have given billions in subsidies annually to shitcunts such as these, and they pay fuck all - if any - tax.
In other news, ordinary folk are being asked to donate to bushfire recovery to help fund the victims and survivors of the latest climate fuelled disaster. Seems fair.

Every time I walk along Railway Street North near Altona station I wonder why the Council hates pedestrians so much. No shade, difficult to pass other pedestrians and totally unpleasant. No wonder people here drive everywhere.

In Albo's new antisemitism bill, the definition of "hate crime", which underpins the new regime to proscribe "hate groups" like the Nazis, specifically excludes "advocating genocide". That is, advocating genocide is treated as not being a racist hate crime. Now, why would that be?
