So, if you didn't know it already, I think it's time to re-think our annual prescribed bush bonfire. Smoke pollution kills and massive burns are not only ineffective but make wildfires more intense and more likely. We need a new approach. @Phil_Zylstra.

As health experts debate the wisdom of holding the Sydney Marathon in conditions of such poor air quality, it’s time to rethink Sydney’s annual prescribed bush bonfire.

This is a depressing read. A betray by Vic Labor who promised a central highlands national park but failed to deliver. Irreplaceable home for so many birds & animals. Same is happening in NSW with our @ChrisMinnsMP promised but not delivered Great Koala NP

ANALYSIS: The Electrical Trades Union has used its political leverage to keep Victoria’s Central Highlands open for hunting, in the midst of a national backtracking on forest conservation.

4 out of 5 communications experts here are against Australia’s social media ban for children under 16 years. Ineffective & even harmful. The arguments from the one expert in favour are inconsistent and just don’t make sense. This is bad policy.

All experts expressed broader concerns about the upcoming age restrictions for social media users in Australia.

When I first discovered comedy, listening to cassette tapes in my room as a youngster, Tom Lehrer was on high rotation. So clever with words & on the ivories. I was in awe of his comedic & musical skill. Probably why I now love @timminchin so much. RIP Tom.

This is pure evil. Read it and tell me that the West should not be assisting Ukraine in any way Ukraine requests. Let’s start by closing the skies to Russian terrorism.

What is unbelievable is that the West has not stepped up to secure the skies of Ukraine. Russia continues to bomb civilians to smithereens for no reason but to terrorise the Ukrainian people. It is a disgrace.
Yellow are Shaheds.Blue — Kinzhal missiles.Red — other missiles.A total of 450. There are no safe places in Ukraine.

This is ridiculous. The reasons the LNP lost Bradfield have not changed. Work on that, move on and let the member for Bradfield, Nicolette Boele MP, do her job. #auspol

Hey @Qantas, it’s not much use offering your “support” to customers after our details have been stolen & identity theft underway. Bit like trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together after he cracked. #nothappyjan

I hope this is just a play to get us watching #SurvivorAU Oz v The World: They say it’s @JLa_Paglia last hosting season, all us fans watch religiously including those who’ve dropped away, ratings lift, then after the last ep they reveal the twist that JLP isn’t really going home.
We can confirm that the upcoming season of Survivor: Australia v The World will be the last series hosted by the formidable Jonathan La Paglia. JLP has brought a unique blend of authority, intelligence and empathy to his role as host of Australian Survivor over the last 10
