Australian! Small in stature but gig in heart. Love my country, the planet, animals and people. A background in event management, but have spent the last 10 years or so in bid and tender management. Hoping to be part of the clean air movement to get clean air and good ventilation in all buildings so we have a chance of reducing the spread of airborne viruses. Clean air = Healthier Humans and animals. Encourage all to wear a mask, as it could save the life of someone close to you. ♥️

Here’s a question Cop28 won’t address: why are billionaires blocking action to save the planet?

It’s obscene that the super-rich can criminalise protest, while they burn the world’s resources and remain untouched by the law, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Bloody hellfire: just had a government health media department (Northern Territory) refuse to respond to my media query because I’m freelance. They said I either have to get an ‘official request’ from the outlet I’m writing for, or put my query through FOI.
Just a reminder/PSA: freelance journalists are responsible for a substantial – and increasing – amount of reporting done in Australia. Without them, there would be a lot of blank spaces/dead air. If we can’t do our jobs, then that’s a problem for all journalists and outlets.
