Embattled salmon industry launches advertising blitz amid calls to shut down A new advertising campaign featuring the stories of workers adjacent to Tasmania's fish farming industry is launched amid calls for the sector to be shut down.

9,000 tonnes of farmed salmon died of bacterial disease in TAS across the first three months of this year.
Delicious!
You know what I wash it all down with? Big dollops of advertising.

Should wild deer be protected or declared a pest? | 7.30 YouTube video by ABC News In-depth

A disgrace. Experts have explained why deer should be a declared pest, that should be controlled & where possible eradicated. This was ignored & deer remain *protected*. Shame on Victorian Labor.

Putting the hunting lobby before agriculture, road safety, & the environment!

Channel Seven’s Spotlight digging for dirt on clean energy ignores fundamental facts and basic journalistic standards | Temperature Check Program portrayed efforts to wean Australia off fossil fuels as morally bankrupt, trashing rainforests and enslaving Australia to China * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Children sieve mud, workers drop down claustrophobic hand-cut mine shafts, men grimace while others carve out rock with chisels in bare feet to recover cobalt “for our renewable green dream”. These were the dramatic scenes from the Democratic Republic of Congo in a “special investigation” from Channel Seven’s Spotlight program, aired in prime-time on Sunday evening. Continue reading...

The majority of the international community supports Indonesia’s control of the West Papua region including Australia.

As long as mountains are plundered, rainforests are destroyed and Papuans are slaughtered - it's all fine. #AusPol #WestPapua

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.

NSW irrigators have blood on their hands again. They need to pay for ecological destruction.

So, you've decided to write a terrible EV piece. An early column, because I'm away this Friday.

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

Snow gums to be removed for view | Midland Express Fight errupts over restoring historic view lines to Mount Macedon Memorial Cross or saving vulnerable snow gums

Governments who continue to send weapons to Israel,
who refuse to impose sanctions,
and will do no more than 'express concern' about this vicious, racist, dehumanizing and genocidal behaviour,
are complicit.

Liberal men aren't attractive - Katie Miller, wife of nosferatu Stephen Miller

She’s literally married to a Nazi vampire.

Age headline on opinion piece: 'Love her or hate her, Melbourne in needs outspoken icons like Bec Judd' by Stephen Brook. The first par tells us that opinions vary about this woman and the second paragraph tells us she wore a red dress to the Brownlow Medal count in 2004. The rest of the article is similarly insightful.

Breathtaking bollocky bilge in The Age. 'Love it or hate it' is the first refuge of a dull headline writer to sit atop a collection of commentator-extruded paragraphs unburdened by insight.

You're absolutely screwed America. Fucked beyond help.

Don’t spray anything with Roundup.

Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them. 🌻

I drove an EV for three days. It saved me money but cost me time With no end in sight to soaring fuel prices, 7.30 decided to take an EV for a test drive to see how far it could take our reporter, and if Australia's EV charging network stacks up.

Really, ABC? This clown driving an unnecessary 130km to a charging station he didn't bother downloading the app for first is like a petrol owner vehicle whinging because they didn't learn how to pump petrol or how to open the fuel cap. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Should this plant be declared one of the worst weeds in Australia? Without a national policy, the spread of smothering buffel grass will continue unchecked.

The answer is clearly YES. It should have happened years ago. This invasive plant is an environmental and cultural disaster, and we should throw as many resources as possible towards its suppression or, where possible, eradication.

“Do you have a sense of where you’re at in the context of the season or is it still too early to know?” That’s the question Ross Lyon was asked. People making out like he was getting asked stupid questions are wrong. The question he was initially asked in this case was totally reasonable.

The second part is absolutely correct.
