The Deputy PM is delusional if he thinks not critiquing Trump's plan to illegally take control of another region and displace millions is in our interests. Silence is a political choice. Trump's words and plans echo horrific acts of the past and place us at increased risk of conflict and terrorism.

Two special moments from the Little Desert Nature Lodge last year, before yesterday's devastating fire destroyed this cherished place. Unless we act on climate change such tragedies will become more common. L - Western pygmy possum R - Wilkerr (dingo) pups #WildOz 📷: Sam O'Reilly Ascent Media

Labor talk a big game on protecting Nature but consistently end up bowing to vested interests. From supporting native forest logging that costs taxpayers $$ to backing salmon farming that is sending the Maugean skate to extinction. It's a gutless approach. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
