Made it around #Uluru on my 95th birthday. So many friends helped me walk the 11kms. And so far we have raised 105000 dollars for @DorcasACTS. My grateful thanks.

The scale of clean up liabilities left to the public purse by offshore fossil fuel companies defies description - on purpose.

Australia has developed a talent for signing up to global climate agreements, then disapearing the minute it comes time to follow up with action. E.g. Transition Away From Fossil Fuels process. Another coal extension (HVO) has us going further in the wrong direction

This new coal project is “required to take reasonable and feasible measures to maximise the use of renewable energy from 4 years from the start.. If the #coal companies don’t think using renewable energy is reasonable, then the answer is, as always, #offsets. #auspol thepoint.com.au/opinions/261...

How native forest offsets helped greenwash a new coal mine

The NSW Government has just approved production from a huge new coal project out to 2045. The conditions placed on the approval would be funny if catastrophic climate change wasn’t so alarming.

TIL there’s a fish that lives in the lowest depths of the Congo River that has stunted growth, no color pigment, and no eyes. And locally it’s called “mondeli bureau,” which translates to “white man in an office” LMAO

Shoebridge is the sixth leader of the Federal Greens, he's the first one to scare the ALP. Brown was but a thorn, however by comparison, Shoebridge appears to be a massive nettle patch. This is the biggest shake up of 'left of centre' politics that I've witnessed. Comparisons being drawn....

The Greens want a 15% reduction in spending on consultants every year over 5 years. We’ve been calling for this since the 2023 PwC scandal. The Government still refuses to listen. Labor must break up & regulate the Big 4 & increase penalties for bad behaviour & ethical failures.

The ANAO’s audit reveals loopholes in the govt’s framework to curb outsourcing core work. Even when targets were in place & apparently ‘met’, government spending still increased. Without controls, it’s tokenism. We need real measures to cut government reliance on outsourcing.

Labor's spend on KPMG has nearly doubled from $32 mil in 2024-25 to $59 mil in 2025-26. Labor has been watching a repeat of scandals & still hasn’t delivered meaningful reform. The temporary month-to-month freeze on KPMG is nothing but a pathetic, tokenistic punishment.

The state can ritualistically attempt to sacrifice a person on an altar with all of the villagers in attendance and fail at it then send them to the hospital for life-saving medical care after. Why not just strangle her to death there on the table? Do you want her dead or not?

I’ve never been very good at identifying birds. I hate it when you see what you think is a cool colorful bird and you look it up later and it’s called like the Common Dumb Asshole. Birders throughout history have universally hated its guts the thing says. It cannot eat bugs right. Meanwhile I had thought I had seen an interesting guy.

I typically listen to music on my walks but I spent this time in silence. I kept thinking about the woman who had been set to be killed in Tennessee for a terrible crime she had committed thirty years ago. They asked her for a comment about her encroaching oblivion and she said something to the effect of whatever happens this will not be my hell anymore.

And she was right. It was now a new even worse hell they ushered her into by botching the fatal injections twice.

After none of the poison took they rushed the woman to a hospital which seemed counterintuitive to me. The state can ritualistically attempt to sacrifice a person on an altar with all of the villagers in attendance and fail at it then send them to the hospital for life-saving medical care after. Why not just strangle her to death there on the table? Do you want her dead or not?
