Australia is in an extinction crisis – why isn’t it an issue at this election?
"Over the past decade, more than 550 Australian species have been either newly recognised as at risk of extinction or moved a step closer to being erased from the planet."
"Analysis shows 1,964,200 hectares of koala habitat was cleared between 2012 and 2021 – 81% of that in Queensland."
"Australia tops global rankings for mammal extinction – at least 33 species have died out since European invasion and colonisation – and is number two behind Indonesia for loss of biodiversity. The challenge is not only to stop the loss of habitat but to restore the environment in places it has been lost in 250 years of European-driven clearing."

Freaking…Bone. Chilling.
“They claim that the #court is powerless to order any relief,’’ Sandoval-Moshenberg told me. “If that’s true, the #immigration #laws are meaningless—all of them—because the gov can #deport whoever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want, & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

Phased ban on menthol cigarettes kicks in today

We have a "relatively low" smoking rate, but the Cancer Council says 66 Australians are still dying from smoking-related illness every day.
@HarriettMB I do expect @antidiskriminierung and @AuswaertigesAmt to affirm #AntiDiscrimination #laws and either force the #US embassy & consulates to comply with #Germany's laws or close and cease operations.
If the #USA refuses to acknowledge that, they there is no basis for #diplomacy and I urge #contractors to press charges for #blackmail and #coercion if they get approached to fulfill for such #racist, #sexist, #ableist and otherwise #discriminatory demands because doing so violates national and #EU #laws!

Why do salmon eaters don’t care about Australian threatened species?
“Australia has the highest rate of mammalian extinctions in the world … The only way to protect the hundreds of threatened Australian forest species is to end native forest logging....The Maugean skate is very much at the forefront of the zero extinction target."
