Perhaps being a tad disingenuous Ben. This part of the world has been subject to fires of huge size and ferocity - of global singularity - at least as long as colonial records. There's no question of the significance of climate change but the article is about what makes Victoria as it is for fire.

They DO have scary bills, long necks and, if they have young and you come too close, they are not at all restrained in making a dash towards you. Not sure, though, whether they would actually bite.

Israel has destroyed the Kuwait Secondary School for Girls near the Indonesia Hospital in Gaza. The demolition was filmed by an Israeli engineering battalion, boasting about the destruction. I wonder if Albo will ask Herzog about this. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #GirlsEducation

A very pretty animal but In Australia it is a major destroyer of native animals. It is hunted, trapped and has a bounty on it.

Next Monday 09Feb2026, Australians will protest Israeli President Herzog visiting Australia. Herzog has actively promoted genocide against the Palestinian people, even signing bombs to be dropped on Gaza. Please attend if you can. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

I remember the days we fought apartheid - via sit-ins, marches, pamphlet distributions, disruptions of rugby matches - and were called "gang-rapists of democracy". That a Labor government would support such a policy and program as this is shameful. Utterly shameful.

Probably will also judge them on how much support they give to the bigots in Advance.

We detest Putin
We detest the Russian military
We detest the Russian government

None of this has anything to do with the Russian Orthodox Church.....unless they support Putin.

Maybe Penny Wong could ponder whether someone associated with a genocidal regime is the appropriate person to come along to mourn a mass murder.

The reason for a person coming do not erase who that person is

BREAKING: Israel has launched airstrikes on the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis in south Gaza.

Al-Mawasi is one of the most densely overcrowded areas sheltering displaced families in tents in Gaza. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

Silvery-grey logs lie across a small, still river. White-barked trees and scrub surround the waterway.

UN special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese condemned Israel’s ban on Doctors Without Borders (MSF) from Gaza, saying “Israel has NO authority to block anyone from entering the Palestinian territory it illegally occupies.”

"Gaza belongs to Palestinians, you have no legal authority to determine its future, symbols, or how it is administered.

"Absolutely insane that these statements receive no attention from Western media, who help to normalize occupation."

This is such a strange insect, isn't it?
Meet the giraffe weevil, one of Madagascar’s most bizarre and iconic creatures!
That absurdly long neck isn’t just for looks. Males use it to fight rivals and help females roll leaves into perfect nests for their eggs.
