#ICJ says fossil fuel production, fossil fuel consumption, granting of exploration licences and fossil fuel subsidies may constitute an "internationally wrongful" act. States are also obliged to regulate private actors in the context of climate change. This is getting awkward Australia. #auspol

Second generation rodenticides are abominable. They kill many non-target native species & hence can also be a disaster for ecosystems.

For 7 years we have been studying how rat poisons affect native wildlife. Our initial work focussed on owls, then we found it in reptiles and today we have released our world first study showing it is killing Australia’s threatened quolls and the Tasmanian Devil. theconversation.com/lethal-secon...
Lethal second-generation rat poisons are killing endangered quolls and Tasmanian devils
Second generation rat poisons are so potent that they’re banned for home use in Europe and North America. But here, you can pick them up at Bunnings or Coles.

I drove a cab for 15 years. I cleaned up a lot of spew. It wasn't fun. But even I can tell you Sam Kerr should never have been the one who needed to explain herself to the cops, let alone a courtroom. The entire case is a textbook definition of white privilege www.theguardian.com/football/202...
As any woman in the back of a locked taxi knows, Sam Kerr should never have been brought to court | Suzanne Wrack
The Matildas and Chelsea forward won’t be proud of the footage of her in a police station. But her acquittal underlines that the charges and court battle that followed were a waste of time and money

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.
