The faux concern for a few trees/ferns while flying in massive steel beams for an oversized holiday house.
Used how many days/year?
Used how much non-renewable resources to build?
Cringy wankfest.

Michele Colvin McKenzie It was ridiculous. *We want to have minimal impact on this pristine environment…* then they go on to built the most ridiculously impactful mega-mansion using mostly helicopters… 🤦🏼‍♀️

Another greyhound trainer has been suspended for doping, this time with meth. He is the 21st Queensland trainer to be found guilty so far this year.

Another day and a lovely walk around Plenty Gorge Park, only 29 mins from home. We saw rabbits, hares, kangaroos and many birds. And 🐸

Is there any particular reason why you keep interviewing the LNP Leftovers when you didn't offer Labor the same courtesy in opposition?

People have asked me if and when we move north how will l cope with the rednecks and the heat? Don’t forget l worked at the ABC for thirty years and you’ve got no idea the abuse l received. Also l cooked a family Christmas lunch for 15 in Brisbane one year…so I’m good :)

Truly one of the absolute dumbest humans on the planet.

Look at little Mac. From deaths door to a giggle when tickled. Amazing

You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences.

Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022.

The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

Dumped for human “allergies”, Zeus (we’re calling him Zac) 180365 arrived just August 20, now TBK Saturday in NYCACC. So scared he retreats to the back of his kennel, but when outside is social, affectionate and wiggly. A lovable 2yo who’s in need of a lot of help. His family…

It’s such a blatant and cynical attempt to latch on to what’s been happening with the US and stir up mistrust in not just the referendum but our democracy as a whole. It’s outrageous - even in the midst of all the desperate grasping attempts we’ve become to expect in Auspol
