Shameful Tassie’s Single-Rider. "Just days ago this wonder of nature, centuries old but still unimaginable strong and youthful, was alive and a natural wonder. Today the tree’s death is a national disgrace," Bob Brown #politas #auspol

As Aunty Pat Anderson AO said, "When you involve people, you make better decisions and the money you spend goes where it's needed most: to the people on the ground."
That is what the Voice is about and why I’m voting Yes.

Biosecurity protects food security, which is essential to a stable, resilient and prosperous Pacific.
As part of Australia's efforts to detect and prevent biosecurity threats - @ACIARAustralia-supported beekeepers are helping Fiji establish a national surveillance program.

Once again, Victoria's LGBTQI+ community and entertainers have come under attack by hate groups - this time out in my neck of the woods, the City of Monash.
And it's more than just placards and yelling - some councillors have received death threats.

Truth Bomb Alert 🚨💣💥
Kerry O’Brien says he wants Australians to remember when voting at the Voice Referendum that they are on “Stolen Land” & if you think we need to do more of the same but just do it better
“For God’s sake wake up to yourselves”

The Australien Government has made an ad about the national rental crisis, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.
