Gift from the Ukrainians we have been hosting. One of the families moves out this week. Very touched. The Homes for Ukraine scheme has been such a good way of helping refugee families integrate at low cost to the government and much better than putting people in hotels #ukraine #refugees

Had a lovely weekend with family and Isla the puppy #dogs

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.

Glad to see the Australian government on board. Massive milestone today with Bowen acknowledging EV growth is already offsetting the oil crisis. Increasing reserves while demand falls makes no sense.
Now for a solar carport mandate!
