Council's King's Counsel Scott McLeod, told the court the homeless people tacitly consented to having their possessions bulldozed when they were given 1 hr notice of bulldozing but 15 days to appeal the decision.
The cruel actions of Moreton Bay council are bad enough.

But if we were a just and fair society, this would not just be a matter of homeless people's right being violated.

Being homeless would itself be considered a breach of #HumanRights.

It's also a gross policy failure. #homelessness #auspol
The City of Moreton Bay council violated the human rights of homeless campers when they destroyed their tents and belongings in April, the Supreme Court has heard.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

The Albanese Government treats genocide as a messaging problem rather than a fundamental matter of human decency and international law.
We've all probably pressed 'Send' before an email was ready... usually there are no consequences.

@australianlabor.bsky.social... be better. The last lot set the bar so low that you reckon you can get away with whatever you like... but you're not the "natural party of government" yet.

Mushrooms are by far the best food source of the non-proteinogenic amino acid ergothioneine, which has been nicknamed the “longevity vitamin” since studies show that it reduces all-cause mortality and is associated with longer lifespan!

I read a lot of news, a lot of criticism and analysis, from as many places as I can inhale into my brain, every day.

The message of this moment is to reclaim our humanity, affirmatively, unequivocally. From autocrats, from corporations, from bigots, from machines. Join forces. Reclaim it.

Amazon reported over $21 billion in profits for the third quarter of 2025—a 38% increase compared to the same time last year.

“During the heatwaves, the warehouse feels like a furnace—people faint, but the targets never stop,” said Neha Singh, an Amazon worker in Manesar, India
Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

Chitin, Chitosan and Glucans are unique fiber types common to mushrooms that are very beneficial for the gut microbiome.

Chitin is particularly beneficial for immunity and gut health, with studies showing it can support the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Budgets are about priorities. The idea is to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of

In Australia we spend $14 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies & we are cutting science jobs at CSIRO…

As i said, budgets are about priorities #climate

thepoint.com.au/news/251127-...
If the Government's top priority is productivity, slashing the CSIRO budget does not make sense
Research and development is one of the major drivers of productivity and the CSIRO has a long track record of making productivity enhancing breakthroughs.
