Just happy to be here. Gardening, Fitzroy FC, Wildlife, Paramedic, Travel, Dogs and Chickens. Not in any order of importance.
Accusing other parties of corruption, then not opening yourself up to scrutiny should be a red flag. But I doubt their supporters see the irony.
The Conversation AUNZ@aunz.theconversation.com · 3d agoThis is not a story of journalists talking and writing about journalists. It is a story about the functioning of Australian democracy.
It’s a real pity this Australia vs Ireland match isn’t reaching a wider audience. Should be on channel 7 as well, not just Fox Sports. #AFLW
History continues to be re-written Lachlan Kennedy, first man to medal in 100m at Commonwealth Games since 1962 & new National Record holder, breaking Patrick Johnson's 23-year-old record by an enormous 0.08 seconds Goes to equal 30th on the world all-time list 🤯 Unbelievable
Quite a few National Records going on this track, in the rain. Starting to wonder if the front straight is 97metres #thegames

It’s only nighttime. ❌ - Cats kill native wildlife, day AND night It’s only new cats. ❌ - That's a LOT of cats that will still be able to roam, harming/killing wildlife and potentially coming to harm/being killed themselves They’re looking into the nonsense that is trap, neuter, and release. ❌
Professor Euan Ritchie FAMS@euanritchie.bsky.social · last wk.This is the outcome, it’s very disappointing, City of Boroondara. It’s inconsistent with an evidence-based and best practice approach to wildlife protection and cat welfare www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/your-council...
Not really the same gravitas as, say, Howard unloading on Keating, is it? 😂🙄
Hopefully Victorian Teachers can get a better deal and improved conditions. I’m sure Ben Carroll would like this sorted and avoid further strike action #vicpol @australianlabor.bsky.social

'Mismatch' between data centres and power projects that has experts worried
Consumers should brace for hefty increases in the cost of generating electricity as data centres suck up vast quantities of power faster than new plants can be built, experts say.

Woohoo! "Electoral Amendment (Miscellaneous Matters) Bill 2026" Don't have the text but word is this is scrapping Group Ticket Voting. #springst
Quite the headline. If the economy relies on our Tech breaking and us buying new tech regularly, doesn't that incentivize planned obsolescence by these Tech companies? The answer is Yes. Yes it does. 👇🏽 How device hoarding by Americans is costing economy share.google/MmiMtugbsfYQ...
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

The indirect consequences are never acknowledged. The events that get cancelled because or resourcing, the rise in insurance costs or the people that die 3 days after a heatwave from renal failure.
Tim Stephens@proftimstephens.bsky.social · 2w ago“The final stage of the 2026 Tour de France has been cut short due to a lack of security officials, who have been deployed to fight wildfires that are blazing across the country.” Climate change comes for us slowly, then all at once. www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/...
“Soaring electric vehicle uptake is materially reducing Australia’s petrol demand, as experts forecast the ongoing global oil crisis could put enough clean cars on the road to leave the country less exposed to future fuel shortages.” www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Soaring EV sales to shield Australia from fuel shortages
With no end in sight to the war in the Middle East or Iran’s blockade on oil exports, Australia’s growing appetite for electric vehicles is a silver lining to the global energy crisis.

Spain’s Nico Williams gave his mother, Maria, his World Cup winner’s medal after Sunday’s final ❤️💛 Nico's parents trekked some 2,000 miles across the Sahara from Ghana to Spain as refugees. Now, their son is a world champion 🥹
Where were you on the night that Essendon actually won a football match? #AFLDonsGiants
There's a real danger, in reporting on the far right, of giving them a platform... normalising their bullshit. There are papers on how they use the oxygen of publicity. It's how Trump gained so much ground. It's how Fascism thrives.
Ironically what England have France have done by putting on a show is guarantee that FIFA will keep the meaningless third place game for the foreseeable future. Gotta say it was a fun match though!
New data out today from the ABS shows Australians over the past 18 months really have been doing a lot more international travel. One country though seems to not be all that popular of a destination. Can't think why.
An electric Hilux? How I wish this could have been a headline in 2019.

Not taking this for granted yet but encouraging whispers about possible scrapping of Group Ticket Voting in Victoria. It is absolutely necessary that it be scrapped or this year's upper house election will be another farce. #springst archive.md/FoOq8
