This sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) spent some time tearing great chunks off the seed hanging on the front bird bath, and I was so focused on taking photos that the front door slammed behind me, startling both of us. Later the cocky came back and strutted around on the grass a bit.

A red wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata) on our bottlebrush in the backyard. It's both cloudy and windy today, so not an ideal time to photograph a bird hanging upside down on flimsy bottlebrush branches, but at least it stayed long enough for me to get one photo in focus!

Robodebt was a mass deception based on a cruel bet: that people on income support would simply give up and pay debts they didn't owe.

Today I tabled a petition from Kath Madgwick and Jenny Miller calling for those responsible to finally be held accountable.
