Popped to the shop with the little dog to get a couple of pears. Didn’t have a bag, so took a doggy poo bag off the lead and popped the pears in there. Heading home met another dog walker, who looked at our pear stuffed poo bag with something between fear and awe.

More than 50 heat records were broken across Australia in the last week of January, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. This is climate change, and it can be lethal.

Well... this adds up As many Australians reel from another week of record-breaking heat, it’s worth remembering what's driving the worsening extreme weather we're experiencing: climate pollution from burning coal, oil and gas. @jessharwoodart.bsky.social simplifies it for us perfectly.

Victoria has officially recorded its hottest temperature ever in the town of Hopetoun in the state's north west. At 4.04pm this afternoon, Hopetoun's temperature soared to 48.9ºC, beating the previous record of 48.8ºC in the same town during the Black Saturday bushfires. This is climate change.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record. Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.
