ANZ has been the largest lender to fossil fuel projects among the four major banks, providing $20b in funding. In 2023, it lent nearly $1b to companies expanding coal, oil, and gas projects, despite publicly committing to exit thermal coal mining by 2030. www.marketforces.org.au/campaigns/ba...

Yes Bendigo now also charges for some cash withdrawal. If it helps to keep the branch in our small town I don’t mind, plus there are ways around this fee.

Left ComBank after the Royal commission. Now with Bendigo and Bank Australia. Common you can do it too.

There should be a shareable blocklist, it would make life easy.

Onya Irma, glad I found you here.

It's almost old fashion civil here, wonder how long it will last?

Solzhenitsyn would be in my top twenty, Denisovic more so than Gulag. But then there are the Tolstoy novellas known for their deep psychological insight and moral questions. A must read to get close to understand Russians and Russia.

Unsustainably so in many ways.

There is no good old fashioned responsible behaviour any more. It is not just the billionaires and their vassals, but us too who let them get away with it.

Welcome to Bluesky Mr Denmore.
I have appreciated your presence on social media since I first came across your contributions back in the good old times of blogging on Larvatus Prodeo.

I grow mine in the tropics FNQ. They get lots of water and only morning sun.

About 8years old and all grown from cuttings of a plant I saw thriving here in the region. Mine often have psychedelic colour scheme and I like the odd forms which often appears at the beginning and end of season.
