"Felicity Wade, the national co-convener of the Labor Environment Action Network, was confident Watt could “walk the line”, listening to business without losing sight of why the legislation existed." Not exactly words that inspire confidence... #EPBC

AUKUS: I cannot recall any other government policy around which there has been so much condemnation from so many voices across the defence and security spectrum, for the governments of both persuasions to so blithely ignore that opposition. These are people who know what they’re talking about.

Why isn’t nuclear energy a good option as we transition away from fossil fuels? As @hugepossum.bsky.social said to Steve Austin on ABC Brisbane, it could have been if we started in the 1970’s, but we are 50 years too late to start down that path today.

The reality is foxes and cats contributed to extinctions of Australian mammals and continue to threaten rare species through predation. I'm not sure questioning their role is helpful for conservation. theconversation.com/extinctions-...

This is a great idea. Attending an international conference for the first time as a student who hasn't achieved high level of English proficiency yet can be really intimidating. Perhaps psychology conference organizers can do something similar to help first-time attendees?
