Because Australia gives so much of our gas away for free, Japan gets it so cheap it makes a profit selling it to other countries!

Australia’s rental affordability 'myth' that doesn’t match reality Workers in critical sectors are frequently locked out of affordable housing — and not just in capital cities, a new report says.

- Masks aren't a free pass to break the law, but this won't target extreme protesters, it will target every day people
- For example for health reasons, people wear masks to not get sick, a legitimate reason to mask
- They also want to hide identity, due to family violence

- Mask bans are hard to enforce fairly, how do you know who is immuncompromised in real time
- Blanket mask bans penalise many for the behaviour of a few

Elizabeth Lee and Peter Cain suspended from Canberra Liberals party room Canberra Liberals leader Leanne Castley has immediately suspended Elizabeth Lee and Peter Cain from the party room, and is seeking to remove them permanently.

More amazing form from Canberra Liberals - Elizabeth Lee and Peter Cain crossed the floor on, of all things, parliament sitting for an extra week and are now apparently suspended from the party room. #actpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Hurricane #Melissa made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 hurricane -one of the most powerful hurricane landfalls on record in the Atlantic basin.
Melissa, which is now a Category 4, is bringing catastrophic winds, rain & storm surge to #Jamaica (ABC)

Fueled by warming oceans, #HurricaneMelissa is slow-moving, relentless, and tearing through homes, hospitals, and schools, putting millions at risk.

Melissa is climate change and inaction hitting us at 185 miles per hour. Not far off in the future, but right here, right now.

2/2 I thanked the directors who attended the meeting via video link instead of flying in. 'This is another way of showing leadership in reducing climate-damaging emissions.' The Chair relaxed, smiled and was clearly chuffed. He thanked me and added ‘Also saves the company money.’

Screenshot of an Ansell 2025 AGM slide 'Delivering Against Sustainability Objectives, Net Zero Target Now Includes Scope 3 Emissions'

Sustainability I would like to make a few comments on a couple of our key sustainability objectives – our net zero commitment and delivering improved labour rights in our supply chain. In 2022 we declared a target to achieve net zero scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, with a goal to expanding this commitment to include scope 3 emissions. Last year we submitted our targets for net zero emissions including scope 3 to the Science Based Targets Initiative, and I am pleased to report that these have been formally validated. Our commitment now is to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain by FY45, reflecting our long-term ambition to lead in climate action and deliver more sustainable solutions for our customers. Recognising that scope 3 emissions represent a significant share of our total carbon footprint, Ansell has set a target for 90% of our suppliers (by spend) to have science-based emissions reduction targets in place by 2030. This forms a key part of our broader climate strategy, as we work to drive meaningful emissions reductions not only within our own operations but across our entire value chain.

With customer demand for sustainable products increasing, a key focus of our innovation program is enhancing differentiation through reducing the environmental impact of our products. In FY25, 80% of the new and updated products we launched featured reduced environmental impacts – including incorporation of low-energy-consumption materials, less packaging materials, and enhanced product reusability and recyclability. Further initiatives are also underway to bring our RightCycle™ product recycling program to more customers, with our FY26 goal being to achieve a 20% increase in landfill waste diversion through RightCycle™ as we expand the program’s capability and capacity. It was pleasing to see that for the second year running our sustainability efforts were recognised by leading sustainability rating agencies with Morningstar Sustainalytics including us in its ESG Top- Rated Companies list. This is satisfying external acknowledgement of our industry leadership in providing safe, respectful and inclusive workplaces and for protecting the rights of our employees and workers in our supply chain.

Ansell's #leadership on climate highlighted at its AGM. 'Science-based' commitments to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by FY45, which it hopes to beat and that includes new commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 (supplier) emissions by 90% by FY45. #ClimateAction #boards 1/2

Yes! Ensuring our planet continues to enable us to survive and thrive must surely be our top priority. Currently it is not - so we need to make a change.

The window for urgent action to save the human species is rapidly closing:

They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.

Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy.
