Yes, I've seen similar in far north Australia but freshwater crocs. If this link works - Crocodile River - open.spotify.com/track/3NpNBq...

Well, obviously because it's cheaper and more influential to make political donations than to pay tax. People who pay tax just don't have a relationship with the right people.

Tell me again: How did that work out for Native Americans?

Rupert is Albo's boss and can sack him any time he wants for any bullshit reason he chooses. No politician is brave enough to stand up to that sort of power. Which is why Grace's opinion is, ironically, the mature, politically sophisticated opinion here, not Albo's.

Now we have to worry that the morning the USA wakes up and there's no coffee and a lot of people are very grumpy that's the day Civil War 2 begins.

This appointment is probably all about putting an Abouriginal face on cutting funding for Aboriginal programmes. Especiallly those inconvenient to mining, such as heitage, native title and land rights.

Good question but maybe better questions: What else has Zuk promised Trump? What's Zuk getting in return?

I basically agree. And I think there's probably a simple solution (albeit incredibly difficult): de-monitise and reinstate privacy on the internet. If/when gen-z have their revolution and sieze the means of production I suspect it probably means them doing that.

Yeah, love how dorky they look and their snouty, nasal hoots are just right for that. Did you hear them? Like a sinus problem struggling to find it's way out of a didjeridoo.

Good to know Trump's reinstating Tic Toc for the public good and not, you know, grift and/or donations and/or social media influence. Nothing to see here. Good and normal.

Smells like, I dunno, a victory for climate change denial.

Yes, enshitification is a very useful concept but it sits inside a large body of great analysis of the digital revolution by Cory Doctorow. Anyone trying to understand the on-line world should read his stuff.

If we get a COP summit is that confirmation that Australia is petro-state?

Tried this with a rescue baby brush-tail. Raised it, lovely when young BUT some time after release became agressively territorial with me, who'd been the main feeder/carer. Used to wait in the bushes at night to ambush me: suddenly a furious ball of possum attached by tooth and claw to my ankle.
