A few months ago we had our back yard torn up by machinery installing. The first things that come back after bare earth is usually weeds. Knowing this, I broadcast lawn seed around the area to promote lawn instead of weeds. Its worked, the area has nearly recovered with few weeds.

In 2020, Trump used COVID as an excuse to cut manufacturing standards. While this does lower prices, it also lowers output quality. Personally I prefer products from Japan and Europe; economies that heavily subsidise their manufacturing sector. trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-st...

Did some mulching in the back garden a few weeks back. Trying to suppress weeds by making it harder for them to germinate. When doing this, its important to try and source landscape supplies that are free from weeds. I know my local composting station makes its product to the Australian Standard.

Apparently, the Master Builders are against it. What, is their bullying of workers still forcing apprentices out of the industry? Are their poverty wages not enough to sustain apprentices (and they expect us to subsidise their wages bill with a $10,000 grant to every apprentice?

So Peter Dutton finally contributes something on the cost of living, and it's $50 lunches for small business owners. Nothing about raising wages or subsidising electricity costs Nothing about tackling price gouging. Just junkets for the boys in business. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

If multinational companies operating in Australia paid their fair share of tax, and if just a small portion of that money went to the arts, we could support great cultural institutions and fund our artists to create new work. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/886841...

The Grampians fire last night spread between 13,000ha to 28,000 overnight in mild southerlies. This is far beyond what any current fire models will predict. Terrifying that this is the start of summer. Thinking of the community at Pomonal, less than a year since they burnt and threatened again.

Australia’s housing affordability crisis is not that difficult to solve: increase supply and lower demand by ending the incentives that treat housing as an investment vehicle rather than someone’s home. Now if only we had a government brave enough to do it.
