Breaking: H5 bird flu testing underway for mass mortality of terns on SA island

South Australian authorities are investigating a mass bird mortality event after more than 80 dead and sick birds were found off the state's south-east coast.

The largest state gathering of socialists under a single banner in a century has just kicked off! It’s not too late to get involved.

So, is _now_ a good time for us to see all the wildlife risk assessments and response plans? Asking for lots of ecologists and other experts. First Australian mass mortality event suspected as deadly bird flu virus rapidly escalates among native birds www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

A Jewish Australian artist complained at the RC she was "cancelled" by an artists' group. In her testimony the reason is revealed: she referred to Palestinians as "animals"! How do we achieve "social cohesion" when someone refers to other people as "animals" then claims they're the victim? #auspol

Powerful, thoughtful convo between host @davemilbo.bsky.social and Greens' @davidshoebridge.bsky.social attending the Pine Gap protest, discussing the #USA and Israel's atrocities and #auspol, on the #SundayShot this morning. So many important comments from both men. Superb.

The ALP conference is simply the rats too stupid to realise the ship is sinking and the captain lied. #auspol

PM @albomp.bsky.social is a liar. Under Albo, Labor is complicit in Israel's genocide. Ed Husic is a principled man, upholding true Labor values. Albo is wilfully complicit in Israel's atrocities. 🤬 #auspol

An example of how “uncomfy” Labor minions are with conflict. A branch member, where I attended (ex alp since 2024), put forward numerous pro Israel motions each & every meeting. One meeting he decided the ALP should support UNWRA being closed down & the UNHCR should be used for Palestinians. 1/2
