Junior came to visit Mum this afternoon. I guess they had to update her on what they’ve been up to. And maybe they are a he as they have quite the red neck look about them.

The @australianlabor.bsky.social party can spin this more than
Warney's Gatting Ball, but the lack of a climate trigger is utterly absurd, almost as absurd as their deceptively named 'Safeguard Mechanism'. The drip-fed EPBC 2.0 details are not looking great www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10....
'Climate trigger' formally ruled out of environment laws
A "climate trigger" that could be used to block coal and gas projects has been formally excluded from the government's overhaul of Australia's environment laws, minister Murray Watt confirms.

Four frames. Reporter with Albo. Frame 1: Reporter: “So, they get considerable control over our critical minerals sector…?” Albo: “Yep.” 2. Reporter: “…ensuring that we can keep paying them billions for submarines we may never get…” Albo: “That’s right”. Frame 3: Reporter:”…and we can ignore their slide into fascistic autocracy with no regard for the rule of law…?” Albo: “Uh-huh.” Frame 4: Reporter: “Astonishing.” Albo: “People often underestimate me.”

The Queensland Government's plan to extend coal's lifespan for 10 years or more is a great illustration of how "pragmatic realism" is deadly, and how the climate movement's persistent optimism isn't suitable for the times we're in now

Mum was her early for brekkie. Her joey was racing around on their own being quite adventurous. But once it saw me it’s straight back in the pouch.

This boy then turned up a bit later.
