Front garden is a native wilderness. Look what popped up courtesy of local wildlife. Probably dianella. Other photo shows wahlenbergia stricta and various bulbines.

Why wouldn’t farmers do this on their own initiative? Costs would be tax deductible.
David Lindenmayer, Bruce Chapman and John Mitchell: A rare win-win for climate, farming and biodiversity – if policymakers act
Restoring Australia's farm dams could slash emissions, improve water quality, boost livestock productivity, and enhance biodiversity – all at low cost.

Frost in Canberra this morning. The rule is not to plant out tomatoes until after Melbourne Cup. Sigh. Usually works but not this year. Back to square 1. But the superb fairy wrens were twittering in the shrubbery and a butcher bird sounding like someone learning to whistle.

"Supporting net zero is a lot easier than defining it. The maths behind net zero is easy; in theory, if carbon removals from tree growth or carbon capture and storage match emissions, then net zero works.
But the problem isn’t the maths. It’s the biology, the economics and the bullshit." #auspol

Like ‘housing affordability’ ‘net zero’ has become one of those meaningless political sayings
Labors support for net zero hasn’t stopped them supporting new coal or gas or from spending billions on fossil fuel subsidies

Whitlam’s legacy is one of possibility and hope. He showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like.
Whitlam showed us what a brave, grown up Australia could look like. And 50 years later, you have to wonder – is it even possible to make Australia brave again?

Green manure crop before reaping. Have planted this for a few years and vege patch has transformed from compacted mostly clay to rich black loam. And no, the bloke doesn't wander about on Halloween with his scythe. 😁

“Their record of delay and decades of deceit make it crystal clear: fossil fuel companies are the biggest cause of the climate crisis, and their political power is the biggest barrier to solving it.”
A new study in @nature.com shows the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to renewable energy capacity — despite claiming for years to be leading the energy transition.

New research in the journal Nature reveals oil and gas companies own a “marginal” share of global renewable capacity, years after claiming they would lead the energy transition.
