The latest buzzterm for slicing and dicing at the ABC is 'goat trails' as in, we need to reduce the numbers of goat trails (and presumably all walk in lockstep/goosestep on one shining path). I observed tht goats are feral pests usually shot by helicopters, so there's that. #ABC #fuckproductivity

I couldn't help noticing Luke Kemp in "Goliath's curse" writes of the 'dark triad' qualities ... narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy. My research looked at the qualities of people who step up to rescue ruined landscapes and wildlife and their qualities were: humility, attunement and courage.

Look, I'm so happy that Dutton is gone and it's a Labor win rather than the LNP. But, to see Labor win such a majority and people turn their backs on the Greens and others pushing for *genuine* progress for social and environmental justice makes me very sad. Labor are neoliberal light. #AusVotes25

Landslide to Labor. Dutton loses seat. Libs at record low vote with no seats in most major cities…what a night for people ambitious for climate policy No more need to even ask what the libs will do or what NewsCorp will say Time to get on with genuine reform. Libs can catch up or fade further

Let's just rest a moment on the fact that the LNP are actually two parties. Consider their proportion of the vote now.... But also, let's remember that Labor gave its preferences to the Libs. They hate green values that much. Conclusion: it's complicated.
