Today, 8 March, is International Women’s Day. #Vteam was well represented at this morning's Adelaide march (⤵️) which recognised women's achievements & our ongoing fight for equality. Right now, women are on the wrong end of a 12.1% national gender pay gap. That must end. < tinyurl.com/PayGapAus >

Barnaby Joyce and others say you can’t recycle wind turbines. Well - these surfboards are made from recycled wind blades from Victoria. More than 85% of what is in a wind turbine can be recycled. So let’s just get on with delivering cleaner, cheaper electricity.

Not only is this the second explosion in a row for Musk, but this launch wasn't even supposed to happen—as the investigation into the _last_ one isn't done yet. The only reason this launch went forward is Trump's FAA cleared it prematurely as a favor to Musk. Now FL travelers are paying the price.

Becoming quite clear that the loyalties of the international right, including Australia’s Coalition and Sky News, is not to their own countries but to their shared ideology. That’s why you will so often see them put their love of Trump and Trumpism above their own country’s national interest.
