Meaningful work, activity, or recreationβ€”whatever you choose to call itβ€”is important in everyone’s life. Regardless of ability, disability, or individual talent, having a sense of purpose is a fundamental human need and a vital part of our quality of life.

The new indoor paper #rocket #holiday program ran just as well as our outdoor air-water rocket program. Some exploded on the launch pad, only one got stuck in the roof :)

Terrorism US ICE.. What does terrorism look like? People being abducted by armed men, without uniforms, warrants, identification, in unmarked cars and then being deported without due legal processes.

Everyone asks me how to build an #air-water #rocket launcher, so I'm slowly moving information about projects unrelated to Cosmic Rays to my old hardhack.org.au domain. hardhack.org.au/rockets-air-...

Look at what the LNP did when in government: 10 years of nothing on climate mitigation, funding corporations billions on carbon capture nonsense. Making the poor, unemployed, and aboriginal a crime. Dumping down public service, outsourcing to consultancy. Dutton doesn't like you and will do more.

Really?? Reduce the cost of living?? By sacking 1000s of people, stopping wage growth and spending billions of taxpayers' money to fund corporations to build complex nuclear-powered steam machines backed up by fracking thousands of methane gas wells because solar and wind are ugly?

I heard a comment that tariffs are like putting rocks in your harbour to stop boats coming in. So retaliating by putting rocks in our own harbour so boats can't go out is ridiculous.
