Get in early for Christmas with this wonderful book by Tabatha Badger MHA celebrating the life of an almost forgotten fabulous Tasmanian woman Florence Perrin. Florence was a bushwalker, explorer, naturalist, photographer in era of Smithies, Spurling, Weindorfers. Wild country celebrated.

Congratulations to Knitting Nannas and BBF who have protested every week in Martin Place against native forest logging and for GKNP. Also to Greens Sue Higginson who has led the charge in Parlt following on from Dawn Walker and Jan Barham. Forest protests and campaigns work!

Tasmanians want ‘Fish Farms Out’. Stop toxic pollution of our waterways. LNP and Lab support multinational corps, not our environment. Vote duopoly last.

Vote Salmon Out! Great rally in Hobart. Here with Forest and Ocean defender Colette Harmsen in front of Spotted Handfish. Close to extinction, it will be driven over brink by fish farms. #auspol

All set to go! rally against fish farms. Hobart # politas

Great day for Paddle for Pedder out in SW. @restorepedder.bsky.social So much enthusiasm for ecosystem restoration. Restore Nature, not Concrete. #auspol

Turning of the fagus. Mt Field Tas. What a joy! #politas

While they are explaining perhaps Jeremy Rockliff can explain why Tas has been importing so much energy over Basslink for the past year. Is Hydro holding back storages and so manipulating the Marinus business case just as it did for Basslink? No increase in demand, so why this pattern? #politas

Before people take seriously candidate promises of supporting climate action, they need to ask specifically what action because they might find it’s a weak incremental or backward step. Woodside is climate vandal. NW shelf is carbon bomb. Reject it! #auspol

Parade of Sail today on Derwent for Wooden Boat Festival was wonderful with James Craig looking majestic. Hundreds of yachts, wooden boats of all kinds, sailing into port was a joy to watch. For a moment the troubles of the world forgotten to celebrate era of sail and skill of boat builders.

‘It’s about dam time, Restore Pedder.’ Who would be stupid enough to rebuild a dam on an earthquake fault line? The Tas and Fed Govt think it’s fine. . Defying Nature again! #auspol #politas

Says it all! What a pity Fed Labor and Tanya Plibersek have turned their backs on Lake Pedder and have instead given green light to rebuilding dams! #auspol #politas

HydroTas celebrate 50 yrs of the Gordon Dam. Restoring Lake Pedder means draining a storage impoundment which feeds into Lake Gordon. It does not impact the Gordon Dam. It means they can still celebrate the dam but add a world scale restoration project! What’s not to love? #politas #auspol

Hydro Tas acknowledges flooding Pedder was a mistake..Did they learn? Of course not, now they want to keep it flooded for another 80 years. That is what they mean when they say with forked tongue, ‘the lessons resonate today in the way we prioritise and care for the environment’. #politas #auspol

Huge community effort to protect Takayna. When will @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social act to stop a mining waste dump destroying rainforest? Big thanks Shane Howard and all musicians and artists who continue to lift spirits of campaigners everywhere. #politas #auspol

Celebrating Spring in SW Tasmania. If only Minister Plibersek had the commitment to restore Lake Pedder, it would be perfect. The Bioblitz was terrific.
