Interesting data (from Waymo) showing that robotaxis are significantly safer than the average human driver. This is likely because they respect traffic rules. An NYT op-ed by a neurosurgeon calls for a broader adoption as a public health measure. Thoughts? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/o...

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

I posted this chart back in 2022 which shows the change in top marriage equality voting seats - to return to this view of history
In 2017, 5⃣0⃣ electorates had 65%+ 'yes' vote for marriage equality, Coalition held 1⃣9⃣ of those

It’s official. We have 1000 volunteers.
This milestone is nothing short of amazing.
This is about you – the everyday heroes who are making a difference, one conversation at a time.
This movement is yours. Thank you for being part of something bigger than any one of us. 🩷

Amazing turnout for Ben Smith for Flinders this weekend 🥰
A core issue in Flinders has been the decision to close Rosebud Hospital
Sadly with the Dutton-led Liberald planning to axe govt services standing to only exacerbate the issues locals face, they’re rightly pissed!
