“As humans continue to pollute these environments with nutrients from wastewater treatment plants, urban, industrial and agricultural runoff, and as we continue to change and warm the climate, we will see more of these events; so monitoring and expanded research is needed.”

I'm getting the sense that #TheGreens are going to scoop a lot of new voters in this weekend's #SAVotes #Election because the major parties are quite simply promise-breakers, xenophobes or rubbish respectively

Regulator 'dropped the ball' by dismissing complaints about gynaecologist's practices https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-24/endometriosis-surgeon-simon-gordon-ahpra-complaints-four-corners/106376338 #AHPRA #healthlaw #auspol #auslaw #4corners #regulation

Watched #4corners today. They interviewed #liberal members in #Toowoomba, city of my birth. I am, more than ever, ready to proclaim the Toowoomba Bypass as the greatest and most necessary infrastucture project ever.

I am halfway thru #4Corners (on #LNP REalignment) and there is one elephant in the room, that everyone can see but no one dares to talk about. The implied racism in the LNP nebulous immigration thinking — because there is no policy there to dissect it can only be talked about as thought bubbles — none of the polies interviewed were willing to say out loud which are the ‘groups’ that they want to keep out of Australia. They use weasel words to weave and bob around the truth of their convictions (if convictions these truly are and not mere electoral ploys). If these LNP RWNJs punter had any clarity about what they want to see legislated or regulated, they would be more articulate and decisive about what it is they would do if given the opportunity to govern. Yet none of them get anywhere near enunciating clear and consistent messages which leave no one wondering what the f**k they’re on about. They’re all a bunch of deceivers and half-truth-tellers. This lot can’t be trusted with power IMHO.

Wait... so remember how Sussan Ley berated Albanese demanding how terrorists could do what they did in bondi? Well it turns out that warning came under the coalition watch in 2019. Maybe someone should slam a podium in front of her at a presser #auspol #4corners
