Look, what happened to Gough Whitlam was terrible, he was a visionary. But, I'm far more concerned about how terrible @australianlabor.bsky.social are TODAY, especially their pathetic environmental law reform package. Let's talk about the future, shall we?

We should absolutely do all that we can to prevent toads reaching the Pilbara theconversation.com/cane-toads-a... By @judydunlop.bsky.social and team.
Cane toads are hopping towards the Pilbara, but a water-free containment zone could stop them
Cane toads will reach Broome in the next couple of years. Creating a waterless “containment zone” is the only way to stop them pillaging the Pilbara.

At ~730pm (QLD time) tonight, I'll be on ABC Brisbane yarning about dingoes...
Dingoes ARE NOT domestic dogs, multiple lines of evidence demonstrate this.
Dingoes ARE NOT ideal pets, they require extensive and special care.
Dingoes ARE very important to First Nations peoples, and Australia's ecosystems.
This proposed change is a very bad idea www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

People could be allowed to keep dingoes as pets in Queensland under proposed changes to biosecurity regulations, but experts say the native animal is fundamentally different to domestic dogs.
