Ordinary person - I won't post often. Passionate about the world & justice for her people. Grieving as I live the path we are on. Creating a tiny patch of bushland in my little garden on Awabakal land. Likes & shares should not be taken as an endorsement.
This is what we're fighting for.
Ancient gorges, Australia's 2nd-oldest nature reserve (164+ bird species), world-class wineries, Wiradjuri sacred sites, productive farms.
Coal threatens it all. This is worth protecting.

Just here to add some love for coriander and, to balance all the other comments 😍

I have a beautifully hand coloured photo of my maternal great nan and nanna and debut photos of my aunt and mum.
They're quite special.

I'd prefer to see a solid commitment to no new or expanded sites, a complete withdrawal of public subsidy (need a road or other infrastructure? pay for it), and, a short timeline for exiting current gas/coal extraction.
Not a koala entry but, while I understand the desire to tax this industry, I see it as counter productive. Governments earning big money from any source won't easily shut that source down (gambling is a good example) and, are more likely to expand the industry.

Tweet from Sky News on Mar 8, 2026 "Latest attacks in Lebanon leave nearly 400 dead as two Israeli soldiers killed""
It's always the same
400 Lebanese, including 83 children, mysteriously "dead"
2 Israeli soldiers "killed"

Torres Strait should be an easy/obvious one for Australians.

Gorgeous.
The phot looks hand coloured?
Excellent! Well overdue!
I hope it becomes a permanent ban Australia-wide, except for under very extreme and specific circumstances, as judged and implemented by genuine experts in pest and wildlife management www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
This is a completely crap thing Luke. I'm sorrybit has happened.

The UAE is also solidly alleged to be funding the annihilation of Sudanese people via weapons provision and financial support to the RSF.

Agree, a helpful, poignant perspective. "There has always been infighting among Iranians in the diaspora. The community has never been monolithic. It spans monarchists and leftists, secular nationalists and devout Muslims, people who left last year and people who left in 1979. What has changed...
Ah, thanks.
Would you mind adding details of the graph source please Brendan.
Not questioning it - just interested.
Yep. Lots of places around me have Awabakal or Darkinjung language names.
Red line graph time series of monthly carbon dioxide abundance from January 1959 through February 2026. There is a seasonal cycle and long-term increasing trend. Current levels of CO2 are at 429 ppm. This is the Keeling Curve graph. A line for CO2 10 years ago is also annotated.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged about 429 ppm in February 2026. Note that I also just updated my annual mean growth rate plot for 2025 on my personal climate indicators website.
10 years ago February averaged about 404 ppm.

Now think about an EV instead. The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into helium. It travels 93 million miles in about eight minutes and 20 seconds (seven seconds more when our orbit takes us furthest away). Those photons then strike the silicon atoms in a photovoltaic panel, knocking loose electrons that produce a stream of direct current electricity; an inverter, now usually contained in the panel, converts that to AC power, which can be pumped directly into the battery of an EV where the motor uses electromagnetism to create a rotating magnetic field in a stator, which spins the inner rotor to propel the car. There are about 20 moving parts in the engine, and it is 80 to 90 percent efficient. There is no exhaust and almost no noise. That’s it. And if you poured those electrons into an e-bike instead of an EV, it’s even better: a penny’s worth of power is good for three miles or so. The same principles apply to electric buses, electric ferries, and so on.

None of them through the Strait of Hormuz"
