“Defence Housing Australia agreed to redesign the plan to incorporate a 50 [metre] buffer around nearby Gouldian Finch habitat,” they said.'

Lol. This is utterly ridiculous for anyone who knows the site and species affected, i.e. experts.

Larrakia man Tibby Quall whose ancestors have taken care of Lee Point for tens of thousands of years, told Yahoo News it was “ridiculous” his people have now been locked out of their land so it can be bulldozed for a housing development.

Was there yesterday arvo and saw 45 species of birds in an hour…
These are 8 species of finch that live here alone! 🐤
The dozers are in and ready to destroy everyone’s favourite birding spot in Darwin and our LAST local woodlands. 🌳🚜
Shame Tanya Plibersek 😡

Trees & their hollows are homes for wildlife, including threatened species such as the Gouldian finch, black-footed tree-rat & northern brushtail possum. Today they're being destroyed at Lee Point in Darwin, after @Tanya_Plibersek's approval. Ecocide in action. Environment laws?

A year after millions of dead fish blanketed the lower Darling-Baaka River at Menindee, thousands more have died. There are now concerns of further fish kills due to deteriorating water quality conditions. ABC News abc.net.au/news/science/2…

Last week, the Australian govt. announced an additional $50 billion in defence funding for long-range missiles, targeting systems and lethal autonomous systems.

This $50 billion could have provided free and unlimited mental healthcare to every person in Australia for a century.

This is a coldly furious and meticulously factual analysis of men’s violence against women. It contains ideas for dealing with such violence that will frighten many. If that includes you, stop & think how frightened women are right now & why you think that’s acceptable.

Really enjoyed Nightingale, Gonda & siri eriksen. 'Affective adaptation = effective transformation? Shifting the politics of climate change adaptation and transformation from the status quo.' So much resonance with things we've wrestled w over the years! doi.org/10.1002/wcc.740

I’ll be there

Mirrar traditional owners have waited for decades for Jabiluka to be protected for once and for all. The Oils played at the blockade in 1998, and I’ll be back if necessary to see justice prevail.

The deal between the NT Govt and fracking company Tamboran has a real whiff about it.

'I have never seen a deal like this. To be striking an offtake agreement with a project that is unproven, undeveloped and unapproved … it's gobsmacking.' Tom Quinn

Shame, Santos, Shame

“By deterring people and communities from standing up against environment injustice, Santos’ actions are ruthlessly prioritising profit at the expense of people and the planet.”

Any school that can afford to build an aquatic centre like this for $125m shouldn't receive a cent of government funding.

Universities sell “global” experience but are in a shambles when students assert global solidarities or acknowledge the historical and ongoing global inequalities that are manifest in the establishment and maintenance of the university itself. rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Thanks to Mirarr senior Traditional Owner Yvonne Margarula for her decades of courage and contest.
And to the next gen for continuing to fly the flag
