i’m going into the tarkine today with the Bob Brown foundation and 90 artists so if you never hear from me again that’s probably a good thing. This is from the pre camp briefing last night. It is a picture of an enormous blue crayfish and I plan to see one they can grow to a metre allegedly

Apologies for spamming this post into your feeds. I just think it's important to remind as many people as possible that Dutton really is a fucking monster. We can and should make jokes about him, but the man has also repeatedly demonstrated his desire to harm those who least deserve it.
