Does anyone remember last year I planted various milkweed plants to attract monarch butterflies? Every single one has monarch butterfly caterpillars on them…

My scary thing from my childhood was the scene of the rabbits all dead and thr blood and their open dead mouths from the movie Watership Down. I first saw it aged 6. I watched the Dark Crystal and all kinds of dark fantasy, but mum said The Labyrinth was actually the devils work and banned me.

“Labor does not consult with or listen to the wider population or to Labor constituencies in the poorer half of the community. Rather, it is a classical crony government, in many respects worse than the Morrison government, governing for its mates, its donors and itself.” #Auspol

Article excerpt
Albanese has shifted his party sharply to the right in pursuit of his aim of making Labor
"the natural party of government"
". Doing so is helping to squeeze the Coalition between Labor and Pauline Hanson's One Nation party. Not coincidentally his policy shifts have made Labor more attractive to an array of fundamentally anti-Labor vested interests and put Labor in their thrall. Mates, cronies, party donors, lobbyists and insiders work to the
disadvantage of the interests of the constituencies he has pretended to champion.
Albanese knows this but thinks he can get away with it. Those fashioning the pitch for the Greens as a party of wider influence would argue that Albanese and Labor can no longer be seen to be a progressive party, or a socially democratic one. Labor's internal administrative structures have atrophied, to the benefit of party insiders, who have always included Albanese himself. The party conference is about as responsible to or responsive to a wider Labor membership as the Chinese Communist Party. As in China, party meetings are stage-managed to predetermined
conclusions.
Is this an Albanese Liberal government, or a Labor one? Many of Labor's old constituents see the broad policies of the Albanese government as
being in no significant way different from those of the Coalition parties which preceded it. It has become at least as deceitful and dishonest about sincere action on climate change. It is now the party of big coal and big gas. Nearly always, more frequently under present environment management, the interests of the fossil fuels industry, and their subsidiary the West Australian government, will be preferred over environmental, heritage or Aboriginal interests. That the handmaiden of this surrender is the environment minister
