They’re only 2.5 cm long and weigh less than a gram, but bogong moths migrate more than 1,000 km to Australia’s alpine region each spring! But their numbers are declining. Help scientists track the bogong moths and learn how to protect them: www.zoo.org.au/moth-tracker

Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS? Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

Farmers who intend to vote for One Nation should know that they are accepting that “climate change” is normal.By doing so they will negate any logical argument for taxpayer assistance when “normal” weather events occur. Don’t ask for help if you deny the very thing you need help to overcome!

RIP to my home hive - last month they were doing OK, but this month they have suddenly declined and died. Almost certainly a sudden influx of Varroa mites from collapsing hives in the surrounding area, happening a lot lately 🙁

The Cazneaux Tree late yesterday - and a raven - can you see it? This tree was made famous by Harold Cazneaux who took a photo of it in 1937 that he titled 'The Spirit of Endurance'. It is a river red gum and is estimated to be 500 years old.

Keep yourselves safe from the 40 visiting IDF soldiers running in the marathon, Sydney. I'd avoid visiting hospitals if you can, they like to blow those up. Ditto for mosques. Same for Australian war cemeteries. And it probably goes without saying, but keep your kids well away.

"One Nation supporters are not unique or special. And treating their concerns as though they are more poignant, more precious, is part of a long history of racist scapegoating in this country" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
There is no question that One Nation supporters are staggering under the weight of economic pressures. But so are we all. It is not clear to me why many media outlets are so keen to privilege the grievances of one segment of Australians over the grievances of others.

Being a Muslim doesn’t protect you from petrol prices, and my skin colour does not make me immune to rent hikes or property prices. As we know the opposite is true – on top of the problems faced by all Aussies, first-generation Australians from non-European backgrounds have a harder time finding jobs and renting homes because of racism.

One Nation supporters are not unique or special. And treating their concerns as though they are more poignant, more precious, is part of a long history of racist scapegoating in this country.
