How many extra possums does it take to compensate for a dead platypus?
That’s the kind of calculation a bureaucrat would literally have to make under Environment Minister Murray Watt’s new ‘environmental laws’.

Smart business people & investors would be supporting action to reduce CO2 emissions & global warming.
After all, if you were in the golden eggs business you wouldn't kill the golden goose, would you.
Obviously this doesn't apply to short-sighted folk who mine, burn or flog fossil fuels.

Now hear this:
Germany has resumed supplying arms to Israel.
(Israel's IDF is still killing Palestinians in Gaza Strip).
France will sell 100 Rafale jets & missile defence systems to Ukraine.
War is good for business. No doubt about it.

Spent 5 hours weeding L-shaped garden bed. Backbreaking work.
Decided to cover bed with plastic sheeting, sugar cane mulch.
3 x 4-hr days later, measuring, cutting, cut outs, moving border rocks, fitting, replacing rocks -- job's abt half done.
If trees & bushes affected, I'll hv to undo it all.

This is what I told my Dad last night:
The TACO presidency is not over, but his aura of invincibility is.
It’s not one thing. It’s the cumulative effect of a shit economy, wildly unpopular tariffs, ICE terrorizing communities, his flip flopping on H-1B visas, redistricting not going all that well

Most people know it's a crime (in civilised countries) to conceal a crime -- like allegations against Jeffrey Epstein et al.
They know this not because they have a Law degree (LLB) but because they are fans of cops shows, detective shows, courtroom dramas, etc.
Trump watches a lot of tv.

A long time ago (probs before you were born) LNP PM Billy McMahon was asked abt the party's East Timor (now Timor-Leste) policy.
"Our policy on that is quite clear," Bill replied.
"We have not yet decided what our policy will be."
And so it goes, with LNP, altogether too often.

Between posts I've been fitting plastic sheeting to an L-shaped garden bed I weeded last week (5 hours back-breaking work).
Cut-outs & workarounds for trees, bushes & curve.
Plastic will be deep covered with sugar cane mulch. Overkill.
I don't want to weed the bugger again.

LNP Opposition's latest energy policy includes "affordable and fair energy prices".
Affordable is just a hook. No idea what "fair" is related to.
So far there's been no explanation of either word & there's not likely to be, until just before next election -- maybe.
