#Auspol Sorry to say, but we are a pathetic colony of the foreign oil corps & their local servants who have already killed off the Great Barrier Reef- a grovelling, cowardly sub-imperial petrostate. So sad, yet true. Keep on whinging about petrol prices and watching Karl Stefanovic you poor mugs…

‘Thrilled’: huge swarms of bogong moths surprise NSW residents and may point to species’ recovery
Researcher says sightings of the endangered moth have increased over the last two years but ‘this year has blown them out of the water’ Swarms of bogong moths have surprised New South Wales residents over the last few days – with experts saying sightings of the endangered native insect are cause for excitement rather than alarm. Hundreds of moth sightings in coastal areas were posted over the weekend to the iNaturalist page for Bogong Watch, a citizen science initiative run by Invertebrates Australia. Continue reading...

I've reported 2 birds. It took around 48 hours to remove a dead penguin for testing from my local beach (maybe slightly less). The second bird was a dead magpie near migratory bird wetlands. I went backn and someone had disposed of it so I had to let authorities know. To their credit they responded
