As if carbon offsets weren’t a big enough fraud…welcome to the world of ‘biodiversity offsets’…sure the idea failed dismally in NSW but Murray Watt is keen to have a crack…

what could go wrong?

Just even more extinctions i suppose…#climate #nature

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’.

So we can now add #JulianHill to the list of #Labor dicks for this stupid & clearly unhelpful point of view of the @greens.org.au ! And to think they want the #Greens to compromise on the appalling #Labor Environmental Protection Act !! #AusPol @sarahhansonyoung.bsky.social
The assistant minister for immigration, Julian Hill, has hit out at the Coalition and One Nation for stoking an increasingly “toxic debate” on immigration in Australia. Speaking at a conference at the Australian National University in Canberra on Tuesday, Hill said the parties are seeking to “generate anger, trade on the ancient human instinct to fear people who are different, or to foster division for some belief in short-term partisan gain.” But he warned the Coalition of forgetting the lessons of One Nation’s rise in the late 1990s, when leader Pauline Hanson first rose to prominence for attacks on Asian immigration. She was suspended from the Senate on Monday after a stunt in which she donned a burqa in the chamber and disrupted the sitting. Hanson has a bill to ban face coverings before parliament now. Hill said former prime minister John Howard understood how to deal with Hanson. “As Penny Wong said last week, you can’t out-Pauline, Pauline,” he told the conference. The Labor party knows this with respect to the Greens political party – you can’t out green the Greens, and do not ever try. They are populists and not actors of good faith. Their political business model is as a party of protest not a party of progress – similar in that sense, actually, to One Nation. To try to accommodate them is to legitimise them. Many voters then conclude - why buy the lite version? Hill praised the shadow immigration minister, Paul Scarr, for pushing back on Coalition rhetoric around “mass migration” and said Liberal and National MPs were “running around spreading fear and nonsense.” https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2025/nov/25/australia-politics-live-anthony-albanese-sussan-ley-tanya-plibersek-domestic-violence-helpline-pauline-hanson-burqa-net-zero-labor-coalition-greens-question-time-ntwnfb

Something never captured by the media, is the way they write about our culture like its airy fairy mysticism, and not oldest knowledge of country with moral and practical learnings on how to keep everything thriving. It's knowledge .

They include: climate intelligence and advice; unlocking net zero; waste; and valuing and restoring biodiversity, nature and healthy ecosystems.

Independent media has a future when young authors have opportunity, support, mentoring, and resources to share their fresh perspectives and inventive solutions freely and fearlessly. P&I supports young writers. Can you help? #auspol #fundraising
Nurturing the next generation of voices
One of the things that sets P&I apart is the seniority and deep experience of many of our authors. And that will not change, facts and historical understanding of issues are essential if we are to tackle the huge issues confronting us all. But the other essential element is fresh thinking and the kind of sparkling hope and action that young Australians bring to the table.

Our rescue is fundraising, not only to fill the cupboards, but to pay vet bills. Like for lovely Pixie who had to have ALL her teeth pulled recently.

As a no kill shelter, they don't euthanise the scaredy babies, which means feeding them.

I'm so sick of this kind of take on what is clearly dangerous policy. Politics isn't just a damn game, it impacts every aspect of our lives, and in this area (climate policy) it threatens the future of comfortable & prolific life on the whole planet. Can we focus on what matters please?

But when it comes to Neo-Nazis, not a peep.
