Agree wholeheartedly. I've been driving my EV for over 2 years. This article is absolute rubbish.

Good luck ! 🤞

Gas tax fight escalates ahead of budget as inquiry begins Calls are growing for a new 25 per cent tax on gas exports to increase the petroleum resource rent tax on windfall profits, but companies have warned any changes would jeopardise Australia's energy su...

As the govt weighs options to raise revenue, balance the budget & confront the global energy crisis, one solution is staring them in the face: replace the broken PRRT with a fair tax on gas exports. It's long overdue, and has widespread support… www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Say one word about turtle eggs being eaten by foxes and there is tons of support for fixing the problem.

But you can lose even a whole year's worth (maybe a decade) of eggs, and not come close to the impact that losing a few females has on a population's stability, let alone a whole wetland.

Poor deer and poor you, that's not pleasant!
Unfortunately deer are a huge problem ecologically, doing nearly as much damage as rabbits. We are overrun with them, they destroy everything including revegetation. Cause bad car accidents too.

‘Incomprehensible’: birds flee and hundreds of turtles left to die after government cuts water to NSW wetlands Frogs and sheep in the Gwydir wetlands near Moree have also been bogged after WaterNSW stopped environmental flows, researchers say

“These deaths are incomprehensible, given there is environmental water sitting in the dam. This could save the turtles, but WaterNSW is just not allowing its release,"

Coalition's migration plan panned as 'Trumpian', likened to 'White Australia' era Labor, the Greens and rights groups have lined up to condemn Angus Taylor's first major policy proposal as Opposition leader.

ANGUS JAMES TAYLOR.
I dare you to need medical care in my department, where the 'self-serving immigrants' you speak of will still give you excellent care. Because they're PROFESSIONALS. 🤨

Four frames. Angus Taylor and journo. 1. Angus: “We need to decide who we let into this country...” Journo: “We already do, through our immigration process.” 2. A: “Yes, well we need to make sure they respect our values…” J: “They already have to pass a values test.” 3. A: “Well, we need to ensure they don’t breach these values…” J: “We have laws, and consequences for people who break them.” 4. A: “Something something people from Gaza…” J: “It’s hard coming second to Pauline, isn’t it.”

All he’s got.

The swift parrot’s distinctive call was recorded dozens of times in a patch of Tasmanian forest. Then the forest was logged Scientists estimate the endangered bird’s population has slumped to about 750. But the logging agency responsible for clearing its habitat said it acted lawfully

🚨Exposed: A major Bunnings timber supplier has been linked to logging in critically endangered swift parrot habitat 🦜

#Bunnings claims it’s committed to Responsible Timber Sourcing, yet this revelation could mean what’s on the shelves is timber made of critical habitat for the #swiftparrot. #wildoz

Hey Angus Taylor you nob head.
Our healthcare system would fall apart without migrants from Africa and Asia.
Racist dog whistling is performative, cruel and based on lies. Do better.

So sorry to our Australia’s Lebanese communities who must think all we care about is the price of fuel. 😔

The only outcomes of the idiotic Trump-Hegseth war: dead children and other civilians, stock markets fell over, even higher prices in America, which just paid billions to keep the same Iranian regime - which now gets a new, mad, multi-million fee for every ship that used to go past for free.

Always enjoy centrists believing despite it all we can’t do anything to hurt our alliance with the USA, as if it is actually in our interests to be a US marine and sub base, as if that is a cheap form of our defence, as if that makes us safer.

It stopped being 1942 a long time ago.

You won't find many kākāpō Easter eggs in the latest episode of the, Kākāpō Files ... because they've all hatched!

And by every measure, this is now officially the biggest breeding season on record.

Not suggesting our government is insane BTW. Not sure I could maintain mine if I worked there though. Thanks for what you do!

Glad you're balancing what you do with a bit of sanity!

Hey ABC Australia, who doesn't have an account here, have you heard that there's still an illegal murderous invasion of Ukraine going on? They're still innovating, holding back the orcish horde and even gaining a little ground on the Russian swine.
It'd be great if you could keep Australia updated

Justice For Josh: 10 Years On Share Fri, 17 Apr, 1pm - 2pm AEST Add to calendar Andrew Giles MP Thomastown VIC, Australia Host icon Australian Unemployed Workers' Union 1 follower · Contact host(Opens in new tab) Description 10 years ago, 18-year old Josh Park-Fing died at his forced labour Work for the Dole site in Toowoomba. Despite a court finding that Josh's Work for the Dole site did not meet basic safety standards, neither the government nor his for-profit privately owned employment service provider NEATO were held accountable. Josh's family weren't even provided normal workers compensation as Josh was technically not an 'employee'. 10-years on, the lessons from Josh's death have not be been learnt. The program is still punitive and dangerous. The Albanese government still forces hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers to attend dangerous, pointless, and punitive Work for the Dole activities every year or face being permanently cut off their unemployment benefit, which is more than $200 per fortnight below the poverty line.

We have the proof that logging makes Tasmania’s forests more flammable After almost 60 years, scientists have been able to prove an influential theory that wet eucalypt forest regrowth is more fire prone.

My pet cockatiel (a small Australian parrot with lots of personality) 'helps' by pulling the keys off my laptop keyboard.

For those with my calendar, this has been the photo for March.
It was taken at Gluepot on a freezing cold weekend last June. Striated grasswrens had eluded me on previous visits, but @boyfrombruce.bsky.social helped me find them at last. His 'beginner's luck' rubbed off on me 😄
