Two dogs in the back of a Ute. One is a black Staffy Terrier, the other is a small dark brown Cairn Terrier. They both have their pink tongues out and are extremely happy with the world

Such a great photo of two "very pleased with themselves" doggos.

Imagine your country gets invaded, your people are subjected to a rolling genocide for 180 years before the colonists even let you vote, 240 years later your Voice to parliament is rejected, then the first racial hatred legislation introduced by the colonial government isn’t even about you.

The dark arts - The Shot The ideology of the Israel lobby in Australia is this - burn it to the ground rather than ever allow an opposing voice.

My latest article in @theshot.net.au on the dark days of McCarthyism coming to Australia to eclipse our cultural landscape under the guise of eradicating communism - whoops sorry - antisemitism

Imagine a political ideology so evil, so despised, so racist and murderous, so globally unpopular - but also so entrenched in Western establishment depravity - that your government (with the opposition), would seek to make criticism and protest of it illegal. Imagine that.

Jacinta Price has gone into a spin after the Greens call on parliament to tackle “all” forms of racism — not just antisemitism — snapping: “Today is not a day for Indigenous hatred!”

Which day exactly is allocated for Indigenous hatred? 🙄

Scores of fires, many that are huge, spanning the state of Victoria. Thank you to all the firefighters, you are heroes!

No thanks to politicians that continue to ignore scientists & our evidence-based & urgent warnings about climate change, placing the lives of humans & others species at risk.

She is such a happy pooch.

The best thing about gang gang cockatoos is their permanent Santa hats 🎅

We may not get a white christmas here on the East Coast of Australia, but we struggle through 😉

Quite a few people in the opposition and media forgetting just how fragile is a civil society.

Stoking Australia's cultural wars.

Ben Phillips post- ( from X)

“This is beautiful. The smiles! Bondi beach hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed with the doctors looking after him at the hospital in Sydney.

And…

The doctors are *also* Syrian!

Tamer Al-Kahil from Homs.
Anas Natfaji from Aleppo.

*Three* heroes.”

"You can get tangled and confused but still be angry at this. You can be even angrier at the political and media fall-out; an incessant game of ugly politicians with uglier mouths screeching their partisan points into the void in the belief they can use the bodies of the dead to win culture wars."

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you

Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

Well matched.

This beautiful snow gum lives just on the treeline on Mt Howitt in the VIC high country. It is one of the grand old trees we have mapped as part of our project to identify pockets of forest that must be protected.

When I went out my front door to wait for the supermoon to rise, I spooked a pair of Adelaide rosellas. They flew up into the neighbour's jacaranda tree.
One of those moments when I just happened to have my camera in my hand at the right time 🙂

The superb parrot breeding season has just wrapped but the field season still hasn’t finished - gang gangs are up next! The team is getting pretty tired🫠

Thursday birdsday!
This magnificent wedge-tailed eagle was photographed on take-off during recent fieldwork. Australia’s largest bird of prey, the wedgie can grow to a wingspan of up to 2.8m, although the ones found on the Nullarbor tend to be smaller.

The gorgeous Annie says that this is a wee cairn terrier puppy (her name is Morag)

But nobody can convince me they haven't given her a baby grizzly bear

#Lookatthatlittleface ❤️

Canberras superb parrots are SO cute 💚💚💚

Honestly, the LNP are largely irrelevant. More importantly, @australianlabor.bsky.social also has no intention of _genuinely_ reaching net zero by 2050 either, if you _look closely_ at their policies and performance.
