It's here!! My copies of The Histology Coloring Book have arrived. It's so exciting to see it in paperback. 😍 You can get yours via Amazon. Just search for histology coloring book.

The wait for PFAS test results could soon be measured in hours, not days. Our researchers have successfully trialled a mobile laboratory that can detect "forever chemicals" in soil and water on site, providing an early indication of contamination within six hours: utas.au/PFAS_testing

Yes, all going well, we see. A stadium we can't afford but don't worry - those getting rid of those "excess" 1.7k jobs will fix things. Oh, and all the back-end staff at schools that totally won't shift the administrative burden to already overburdened teachers. FFS. Useless.

Front page today. The median rent for a room in a Tasmanian sharehouse is now unaffordable for singles earning the full-time minimum wage. Let me repeat that. *A room in a share house* is now unaffordable on a full-time wage. This is storming the barricades time, people. #auspol #politas

Small article on the front page of today’s Mercury.

Heading reads: Rent is right out of reach

Byline: Rob Inglis

Text reads: The median rent for a room in a Tasmanian sharehouse is now unaffordable for singles earning the full-time minimum wage as Hobart's vacancy rate languishes at an all-time low of 0.2 per cent, an alarming new report has found. Anglicare Tasmania's Rental Affordability Snapshot measures whether people on low incomes can afford a rental in the private market by examining all rental properties listed on realestate.com.au and Flatmates.com.au ona specific weekend in March every year.

Satirical cartoon of Anthony Albanese sweating over two buttons: one to cut 160,000 people from the NDIS, the other to properly tax gas profits. The image highlights the tension between reducing disability support and under-taxing resource companies.

Funding for frontline FDSV services is still only 80% of what the sector has spent a decade calling for. That's 1 in 5 women being turned away. If this government can afford to hand $368b to Trump for AUKUS submarines, why can’t they afford to fully fund women and children’s safety?

There has been good work done to bring violence against women into the spotlight and encourage women to seek help. But if that help is not there because there isn’t enough funding, we are condemning women to homelessness, violence or death.
