Feral deer are a pest. So list them as one. Feral deer are trashing and trampling Victoria's landscapes but this could change if they listed feral deer as a pest.

VIC: While other states and territories are ramping up serious deer control, Victoria is falling behind. And our wildlife is paying the price.
Tell your elected reps it's time to act on feral deer.

I feel like the days of restricting use are over. Why bother when a company can make it for you.

It was this for me. By the time I left Twitter I'd begun to tense up just visiting it, and I was burned out by being condescending to the folks trying to be nasty to me. When I came here, I fully signed onto the "don't engage, just block" ethos and tried to model a better online version of myself.

US puts world on notice that it could exit Iran with Strait of Hormuz still closed The president and his defence secretary played down the importance of the strait to the US, even as the average price of petrol tipped over $US4 a gallon for the first time since 2022.

Trump started an illegal war that has been a disaster and now wants the world to clean up his mess.

Today we secured a Greens-led inquiry into taxing Australia’s gas that will report ahead of the May budget. This is a step in the right direction towards a minimum 25% tax on gas exports

As a side note; worldwide air pollution will probably drop, uptake of electric vehicles and public transport will increase.

No talk to them, expose their policies. They are getting a free ride with zero scrutiny on how they propose to do anything. They have almost no health policy and many of the things they propose will cripple the healthcare system. No excuses for people that vote for them

It needs more public scrutiny, that way there’s no excuses when they get elected. The high defection rate of MPs after they are elected tells you a lot of their own candidates don’t realise what they are getting into. Do 20% of Australians really want to abandon the UN?

They’ll still recommend preferencing ON ahead of the ALP. It will be interesting to see if small l liberals follow that. The other issue they may face in Victoria is that the ALP will probably finish third a lot outside of Melbourne, electing Libs

'I've been teaching for 12 years. I've never seen teenage boys behave like this.'

I think this is the scariest thing I’ve read in today’s writing about male vs female behaviours. Because it’s now & future. It’s the precursor of more #DV, #sexualharassment, sexual abuse/ #rape, & eventually attempted murder, #femicide

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

Can’t think of anything worse than paying attention to those two at the moment. I still feel it’s too early in the year to be paying attention to footy. It’s too warm, community footy hasn’t started and other sports are at the business ends of their seasons.
