To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary—embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day. September offered a break from the blistering heat, but not from the deluge of (often) distressing news.

Yesterday NSW approved NSW’s largest ever coal expansion to HVO’s coal mine in the Hunter. The next step is federal approval. I know AI is the hot topic of the moment but we *know* coal and gas are driving the climate crisis. Let’s not lose sight of that and the decisions being made in its shadow.

The inflation problem. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social and @sydmorningherald.bsky.social
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing a single mother, recently made homeless after defaulting on her mortgage repayments (as evidenced by visible paperwork), setting up a new home in a tent with her two young children. Surrounded by their essentials stored in storage and plastic bags, the baby crawls on the grass, his older brother heats some food over a camp stove, and his exhausted-looking mother blows up an air mattress. Watching her, the boy says, "Is this what they means when they say 'inflation is the problem,' Mum?"
