Anyone on the Greens mailing list will have received an impressive letter from Larissa Waters. She made it all about the party, not about herself. She also gave a sense of urgency, that the Greens and other progressives need to get on with the job. Genuine leadership. #AusPol

So BoM, are you saying there have been no climate events worthy of a Special Climate Statement in Australia in 2.5 years? Not even the heatwave in January 2026 that saw 49C reached somewhere in Australia for 6 days in a row, and the worlds most southern 50C on record? www.bom.gov.au/climate/curr...

Australia can gain more from eliminating diesel than enabling AI
The most important imperative for Australia is to get rid of diesel. It is a no brainer for the economy, for national security and the environment. But there is no policy.

This change could save lives. But it also leaves a serious questions: if a religious organisation can decide today that Scripture leaves a life-and-death medical treatment to the individual conscience, what does that mean for those who were previously told that the same choice was forbidden?

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."
