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

Com Games are back: Gippsland to host table tennis SPORT COMMONWEALTH GAMES By Paige Turner       IN a shock announcement that has left international sporting bodies scrambling and local rec centres dusting off fold-out tables, the 2026 Commonwealth Games are returning to Gippsland – albeit in a slightly reduced format. While the multi-sport spectacle will not include athletics, swimming, or any sport requiring a stadium larger than a medium-sized Bunnings car park, organisers have confirmed one marquee event will take place in the region: table tennis. Officials say the scaled-down Games will “retain the spirit of international competition” while avoiding “the unnecessary complications of infrastructure, logistics, and sports that require running.” Latrobe Valley venues are already being considered, with a shortlist including the Morwell subway, the Traralgon RSL function room, and “wherever they can find a level floor and a working kettle”, according to early planning documents. Despite the scaled-back Games, excitement is already building around Australia’s medal chances – particularly thanks to rising local talent Kate Branston, an unknown wildcard from Leongatha with an absurd sporting story. Branston reportedly discovered her natural aptitude for table tennis only months ago, after what sources describe as a life-changing experience watching the sporting film Marty Supreme at Mid Valley Cinema in January. Friends say Branston left the screening visibly shaken, and immediately purchased a $6 table tennis bat from Moe Kmart, before going on an undefeated streak against family members, co-workers, and “one guy at a barbecue who said he used to play in high school.” Within days, whispers of her talent had spread across Gippsland, and she was formally invited to join multiple clubs across two leagues. “She’s just got that aura,” said one local observer. “You can’t teach reflexes like that. She hit a rally off a fold-out table during a blackout in February. Didn’t miss once.” High-performance analysts are already tipping Branston as a genuine gold medal prospect, citing her unconventional training regime, which reportedly includes late-night practice sessions in a garage to Mumford and Sons. Branston told the Express her unconventional technique is actually based on that of Kevin Rudd’s in a completely different sport – handball. Commonwealth sporting authorities are said to be monitoring her progress closely, with some insiders suggesting Branston’s viral emergence may have played a role in reviving Gippsland’s hosting prospects. “There’s always been a belief that the region could deliver a Games,” one anonymous official said. “We just needed the right sport. And possibly someone who’s weirdly good at it out of nowhere.” Businesses are already preparing for the boom, with one Traralgon café reportedly trialling a “Commonwealth Flat White” and a sports store unveiling a commemorative $4.99 ping-pong ball multipack. Details around scheduling, international participation, and whether or not the Games technically still count remain unclear. “This is about legacy,” a spokesperson said. “About proving that you don’t need fireworks, billion-dollar stadiums, or functioning transport networks to host elite sport. Sometimes all you need is a table, a net, and a dream.” As for Branston, she remains grounded amid the hype. Speaking briefly to reporters, the reluctant star said she is focused on preparation – and staying humble. “I’m just taking it one serve at a time,” she said. “I kept my receipt so if I don’t win, I’ll be returning this bat to Kmart”.

I urged Bunnings to drop dodgy timber, join me! Australia’s native forests should be protected, not logged for timber and woodchips. Tell the Bunnings boss to drop dodgy timber.

If you don’t want forest destruction built into your next reno, tell Bunnings it’s time to drop PEFC certified wood and only source deforestation-free timber.

👉 Email the Managing Director today, using our template: wilderness.org.au/email-bunnings

Forest destruction shouldn’t be part of your next DIY project. Bunnings claims to source timber responsibly, but it’s not telling the truth about where some of these products come from. Learn more in this video with our Corporate Advocacy Manager, Adele Chasson.
