Peter Dutton plans to butcher the public service, DOGE style. The last time the LNP tried that they just shoveled cash to the big 4 consulting firms so we got shocking waste, corrupted governance, rampant secrecy & hopeless service. #TaxLawLeak #auspol

For 7 years we have been studying how rat poisons affect native wildlife. Our initial work focussed on owls, then we found it in reptiles and today we have released our world first study showing it is killing Australia’s threatened quolls and the Tasmanian Devil. theconversation.com/lethal-secon...

When looking for an ideal choice to make plastic, you want something with high concentrations of cellulose, such as #hemp. Hemp’s manufacturing process doesn’t create hazardous compounds like benzene, and the energy required to produce hemp plastic is up to 45% less than traditional #plastic.

Victoria has the lowest crime rates in the World with Melbourne ranked the 5th safest city globally. So, when Brad Battin & his all-man band wants a crime crackdown, it has zero to do with crime & everything to do with scaring people because he has zero to offer. #vicpol #auspol

Peter Dutton defends #nuclear by claiming that rooftop solar cannot charge EVs and household batteries at the same time. How wrong and ignorant can you be? #auspol

If a Palestinian Australian travelled to #Gaza to fight with Hamas, I expect it would be condemned by the AUS Govt. There are reports Australians are fighting for Israel in Gaza, potentially committing war crimes. Will the AUS Govt hold them accountable on their return? 🤔 #auspol #GazaGenocide

The City of Moreton Bay has banned homeless people from keeping pets or sleeping in vans, or face fines of up to $8,065. Are they supposed to sleep rough, on the street?! Wouldn't a van be safer? Why are they persecuting the vulnerable?! 😔 #homelessness

see the thing is when you erase us from kids’ entertainment, you’re telling trans kids that they don’t get to be in that world that they don’t get be in those stories that they’re not important that they’re not real and you better believe that contributes to all the pain society puts them through
