Good to see. Have read articles that mention Iran closing the Straits of Hormuz but no handy map to go with it. So, naturally, people are looking it up.
So great to see this research. Bird deaths are a huge issue, yet some people seem to think they're only caused by wind turbines.

Victoria’s Liberals saved John Pesutto from bankruptcy. But can they save themselves from all-out war?
Since Moira Deeming won a defamation case against the former leader, internal strife has intensified. Now a loan to Pesutto by the party threatens to rip it apart

If you want to up your mask game, or you just want to learn more about respirators, my article on the fall of public health has you covered. It’s all about the different types of masks, how to choose one, how to fit test, how to don & doff etc. Respirators are pretty awesome!

Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

Vic Lib leader Brad Battin who’s been criticised for failing to condemn NeoNazis is asked about the Deeming / Pesutto / NeoNazi Farce. Battin “I don’t want to talk about it. Victorians don’t want to talk about it” He’s lying. I’m from Victoria & I want to talk about it.
"Canstruct, which has previously been linked to a series of donations to the Coalition, was paid $1.82 billion to run Australia’s asylum seeker processing regime on Nauru for five years up to late 2022, making at least $450 million in profits." Nothing to see here.... #auspol

For a while I've been burrowing away at this, trying to get to the bottom of one my biggest obsessions; the long running absolutely dire state of Australia's opposition at every level. Here's part 1: www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/19/a...
The spiralling death of Australian opposition. Part 1: How it happens
The opposition parties of Australia are in a dire position at both state and federal levels. Here's how a party spirals into chaos, and what the impact is on our politics.

State seat of Lyons is now in, with more candidates to come. Interesting to see Nationals make their move, scooping up independents to join them. #Politas www.polipedia.com.au/electorate/L... There will be so many more candidates to add, and more details on as many as we can find.
OK Tassie, I have the first two electorates done with candidates so far for the July 19 election. (Nominations haven't closed yet, so plenty more to come.) www.polipedia.com.au/electorate/B... Bass State Tas 2025 Let me know who I've missed. #Politas
There is a lot to catch up on in national and state politics. But, back to basics for now and I'm gonna re-jig the Tas state electorate pages so that only this year's candidates show up. Might call it something clever like Bass State Tas 2025 (so that it's not confused with Bass State Vic.) #Politas
What's with that weird genocidal ethnostate that keeps mass-murdering civilians and expanding its borders into all its neighbouring states and if you talk about it you lose your job (or, in the US, end up disappeared into a concentration camp)? Free Palestine. Melbourne

Good morning and happy Saturday. This headline makes us want to scream. Sparking? Nope. How about "confirming"? And do NOT try the 'supply and demand' argument or even the Labor govt's new red herring, 'red tape'. It's tax policy. #Auspol
Sigh. How is it defence when it was a 'pre-emptive' strike? Which, by definition, means they fired first.
