Is there a word for something that is both exciting and slightly terrifying? I love an aurora, but the cause is quite humbling.
Today the Sun produced an X1.8-class #SolarFlare (the highest category). The event also triggered an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, although we are still yet-uncertain of the likely strength or timings of the impact at Earth. #spaceweather

What should Australian Governments do about ‘mental health’?
Along with climate change and ecological damage, Australians face an equally important challenge of exposure to stressful social conditions leading to declining psychological health for millions.

Farmers aren't against renewable energy. They are against people invading their properties, threatening their families and livelihoods, for overseas profits. Farmers are the CFA. If you don't support them, there will be no food and no volunteers. Albo also visited a Chinese owned farm.
