Suddenly the Western elites realise that decades of indulging #Israeli extremism leads to a Jewish state that ignores any and all suggestions (while still arming them to the teeth)?
Please, spare us the faux outrage. This is on you, Western “powers”:

Australia’s never had more homes per person. Yet housing only gets more expensive.
Why? Govt policies allow the wealthiest to take up more space, hoard homes, and push up costs.
Now they’re scapegoating migrants for the problem they’ve created.
With respect, get in the bin.

It’s the perfect time to encourage growers to get their permanent water on ASAP. A week or two, and sometimes just a few days, can make all the difference for successful breeding of Australasian Bitterns in rice. #bitternfriendyrice @ricegrowers m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

The public have always been aware of & concerned about swift parrots - that’s not the problem.
The problem is that successive governments won’t stand up to the logging industry.
The only vote that matters is the one for leaders that will actually protect Tasmanian forests 👀

Yes! Farm dams provide valuable habitat for Australian frog species, including threatened species.

Images from overnight of the buffel grass wildfire on the edge of Mparntwe Alice Springs. Ominous times with huge fuel loads across Central Australia. A huge warning of what may await if drying and warming conditions continue across the region going into summer.
