Qld coalmine expansion approved by Albanese government will clear habitat and fuel climate crisis, scientists say Conservationists estimate coal exported from expanded mine to release CO2 equivalent of about half Australia’s annual carbon footprint

The utter sham of offsets, yet again...

β€œDestroying the equivalent of 40 MCGs worth of greater glider habitat and then attempting to relocate all hollows and claim this somehow offsets the harm to greater gliders is genuinely deluded, and contemptuous.” - me

As an Australian of Jewish background, I was not at all, as the SMH suggested, "deeply hurt and offended" by Cathy Wilcox's brilliant, accurate cartoon.

I am deeply concerned and alarmed that a mainstream media agency is so craven that they buckle to Israel lobby bullying. #IStandWithCathyWilcox

Israel says it will halt operations of several humanitarian organizations in Gaza The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs said the organizations that will be banned Thursday didn't meet new requirements for sharing staff members, funding and operations information.

Never forget the evil that is the Israeli govt.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit Australia after Bondi Beach attack Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said the governor-general will issue an invitation to Herzog to visit Australia "as soon as possible".

My god how quickly we have capitulated. This is a man who was happily photographed signing bombs to be launched on Gaza. Pandering to this man does not help Australia’s Jewish community one bit.

In December 2023, Isaac Herzog was pictured signing bombs to be dropped on the men, women & children including babies of Gaza.

In December 2025, the prime minister of Australia @albomp.bsky.social invited Isaac Herzog to visit with him in Australia.

There is no saving @australianlabor.bsky.social.

Ahmed al-Ahmed, the man who disarmed one of the shooters at Bondi Beach in Sydney today, is a Syrian Muslim.

He's in hospital, right now. He's a braver man than most I think would be in his situation.

He's the spirit of Chanukkah -- he keeps the lamps of hope burning. That's for remembrance.

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:

Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.

He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

I noticed that there were often several dogs with the same second name. So does that mean they arrived at the same time?

Any Melbournian who supports the Jewish claim to Israel because they occupied it 2000 years ago can hardly dispute the rights of traditional owners who lived in the Melbourne region for 50,000 years or more.

To be clearβ€”

I don't hate Jews, nor Judaism.

I DO hate: genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, racism, Zionism, ethnosupremacy, white supremacy and settler-colonial 'occupation'.

And therefore: Israel has my ire. Not Jews. Not Judaism. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

It was awarded by teachers (or the local pool instructor?) as part of learning to swim.

I have a vague memory of going through some of the various steps towards the bronze medallion in the late 1960s. Swimming a set distance (both freestyle and underwater), treading water for a set time, safety jump, and maybe diving?

I sometimes see (or hear) them at Lillydale Lake. Plenty of them around at Healesville when the hakeas and melaleucas are in flower/nut

This is Monty and Charlie. Monty's back legs are paralyzed. But that doesn't mean he can't race his brother on walks. 14/10 for both (TT: amqzak)

I’ve just had my second total knee replacement under NIB with full hospital cover. They’re not cheap but I can’t fault the coverage. The Rehab-in-the-home program is fantastic, and is backed up by phone support from a dedicated specialist nurse.
Watch out for qualifying periods though
