Family turns bare island into reef oasis after guano mining destroys it
Lady Elliot Island sat bare, bleak and silent for 100 years after guano miners ravaged it, leaving a moonscape devoid of life. Then in the 1960s, one family started planting trees.

One in six kids in poverty. Increasing housing stress. Fossil-fueled climate policy. Our closest alliance with the fascist US. Enabling the #GazaGenocide. Policy written by corporate donors. If this is what the “centre” delivers, “sensible” it is not. #auspol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/7...

As the Coalition veers right, should Albo hold the centre?

I don’t know what it is about “armed” police and my travels. I’ve been “lucky” enough to visit two major cities when they were “closed” It’s an interesting experience. Bangkok 2008 - Thai political crisis London 2019 - extinction rebellion.

I’ve got a great doctor. A really good listener. I appreciate I always have a lot to download to doctors. What amazes me is the number of doctors we all interact with who can’t help with the simplest of issues. 1/4

NSW govt is turning the place into a police state. I certainly don't recall any such aggro response after the Port Arthur massacre. And there's 250 of them! What are they all going to do, apart from marching thru the streets intimidating everyone. I'll definitely be giving Sydney a miss.

We don’t think the case for this has been made. One constant in the global history of policing is that every weapon given to cops, they will eventually use. Therefore, every force escalation requires compelling justification.

The Greens under new leadership have made the decision to be a government-in-waiting and many Australians are energised by that Its not only a mess made by Albanese and Labor, its a dysfunctional mess created by major parties in our body politic that serves no-one johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...

Delectable assortment of cakes for the family. I had one more than I should, which now I’m glad I did because after my weekly 600km drive, I micro dozed and Gran 96 had stuffed the remainder in a bowl. Which was ok., except in another micro doze the bowl went missing….
A tasting box of cakes. Vanilla slice, tarts etc looking good.

This is a great insight from a young woman in Canberra on housing and time and multiculturalism www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...
The woman who feels priced out of spare time

Rosie* is in her 30s and lives in Canberra. She captured the point vividly.

"Housing gets covered as deposits, rates, supply. Living it, the real cost is time. You work the hours the housing demands, in the suburb the housing pushed you to, and what gets sacrificed is the ability to sit down with the people around you.

"Multiculturalism worked in this country when people had time to spend with people unlike themselves. Not policy time — ordinary time. Backyards, front steps, sport, the shops, someone's kitchen. That's how a stranger stops being a category and becomes a neighbour.

"We have spent 30 years pricing that time out of people's lives and now we're surprised that cohesion is fraying and asking what went wrong with our values.

"When people are exhausted and stretched and never in the same room, difference stops being interesting and starts being threatening. That's not a failure of tolerance. It's a failure of time. That's what I'd want people in power to understand."

I actually think Pauline Hanson hates Australia. Because why would someone who truly loves this country not respect the oldest continuous culture in the world? Why would someone want to stir up hate, bigotry and an ‘us and them’ division between all Australians? Its simply un-Australian.
