Late to the 8 ball.
Just got rid of Twitter.
Weary of the world.
No clue about Blue, looking for a safe place.
Cheers all if you see.
If not, I'll know I might have a safe place to blurt a thought :)

So thrilled to see Labor's new (and youngest) senator, South Australian Charlotte Walker, calling out Pauline Hanson's disgraceful opposition to Net Zero. Hanson went on Sky News and complained about Walker, which is a great sign that the message was delivered loud and clear! 👏
New Labor Senator Charlotte Walker also spoke out against the motion
“All I can say is…are you kidding?”💥 #Senate

Beaches are littered with fish carcasses and scientists warn they are only ‘the tip of the iceberg’ as underwater habitats deteriorate.
But the spineless weasel keeps approving planet killing fossil fuel projects. 30 and counting.

A national disaster. 12,000 dead creatures. 400 species affected. A huge area. Rising ocean temperatures. Where’s Wally Watt?
SA’s toxic algal bloom is twice the size of the ACT, has killed 12,000 animals and is filling even the experts with dread

Can 2025 be a year when we go beyond outrage (about global warming denial AND the death machine AKA the "military-industrial complex")? Both catastrophes driven by incalculable sums of money (lobbyists), ethics-absent MSM, and politicians.
We can together insist that people and planet come first.

Wow! Is there any such thing as private fire-fighters?

Makes me think that it'll become a thing in the future.

The government’s electoral reform bill is deeply flawed. It entrenches major party advantage, creates an uneven playing field, and misuses public funds for party expenses like loans and travel. I urge the government to send this bill to inquiry and deliver real reforms that protect fair elections.
