I'm cynical but passionate and optimistic about the future. I'm into landscape fauna ecology especially in the arid and semi arid zones. 😁 PS not a huge fan of cat and puppy photos.

No. We should not protect them, BUT we should develop a means of sending them back as part of breeding programs to restablish wild populations. They are incompatible with the Australian environment and cause severe damage impacting native species and ecosystems.
Wild dromedary herds no longer roam the Sahara, while wild banteng are vanishingly rare in Southeast Asia. Should we protect their feral populations in Australia? 👉 Read the full story:
Such a good point made (yet again). As ecologists we need to study the ecosystem in the face of its extreme complexity and the limited knowledge we have of it. That is our lot. There’s a hidden bias affecting what we know – and don’t know – about nature theconversation.com/theres-a-hid...

Our research across the range of sandalwood in Western Australia has found there has effectively been zero recruitment over the past century. All we have left are old & very old trees. Ripping these last few plants out of the ground to make a bit more perfume is the very definition of unsustainable.
Sandalwood producers say WA government has left industry in limbo ahead of major rule change
The laughable promise of every government. It was the previous LNP govt that closed down services and this was never rectified by the ALP govt that followed. The only skill governments have in dealing with mental healtht, youth or otherwise, is to make it invisible until the next election campaign.

What utter confected BS. If an ICE vehicle owner was low on fuel, wouldn't they also be in trouble? Or do they just magic some fuel and all will be right with the world? Stupid, stupid story - my guess A(rtificial)Idiot or a human idiot.

The Federal Reserve just raised interest rates this week for the first time this year. So how does it actually work? And what does it mean for the economy — and the rest of us? Here are some answers. n.pr/4cNA2ew
Again, no surprises here. That One Nation promoted extremist fascist and nazi ideology was as clear as crystal from the time she was picked as a candidate by the Howard government.

It is obvious the #fossilfuel sector ranks with one of the largest groups of #childabusers whether it be through #misinformation or through their #environmentalimpacts.
Fossil fuel companies are funding hundreds of programs involving Australian children, while climate change is already devastating communities around the world. Peter Sainsbury writes on fossil fuel influence, El Niño and a rapidly changing climate. #ClimateChange #FossilFuels #Environment

My latest piece in The Conversation with Patt Finnerty. Yuraygir is a such a special corner of Country, home to coastal heath supporting frogs found nowhere else and the largest population of coastal emus. This is no place for horses…
Feral horses can inflict major ecological damage, as two experts explain.
It's so funny that Water Corp think the #EPAWA are about environmental protection. EPAWA have never been about environmental protection, rather they are all about proponent facilitation through the system.
WA Premier Mark McGowan told Alcoa it must better protect Perth's water supply or face curtailed mining and "significant job losses," but his successor, Roger Cook, folded and did the opposite. Now Water Corp wants EPA support to fix the problem.

At ~ 10:20 am today, I'll be chatting on ABC Vic Statewide about Wilkerr (dingoes), and their potential listing as a critically endangered population in NW Victoria. More here www.abc.net.au/news/science...
Here we go again, Stupid being Stupider (if that can be classed as a word). I reckon I could build a reactor for around $10 million - show me the money... (anyone got bicard and vinegar available?) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
There will be a lot more anger when they realise they voted in yet another ignorant impotent corporate puppet who can achieve even less. Then again what the hell were the ALP thinking putting in a pathetic corporate puppet and gas lobbyist like Georgia Tree - she has no place in civilised society. 😂

Interesting that it takes a group of scientists to reiterate what indigenous groups have been saying for a very very long time.
When ancient ecosystems are burnt too frequently, the biodiversity is disrupted, further threatening endangered species, Don Bradshaw, David Lindenmayer, Phil Zylstra and Kingsley Dixon write. #southwesternWA #biodiversityhotspot #controlledburning
Another #JunkScience study to deflect attention from what needs to be done. If only the researches had the feintest ideas about cat predatory behaviour.
A methodologically flawed and problematic study by Kate Dutton-Regester, Jacquie Rand and Antong Liang, and equally disappointing reporting by Marina Trajkovich 👉 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...
An unsurprising response from the NT government. They are two busy sewing their hoods, making tiki torches, and planning their rallies.

“Let’s see the Kennedy Curse try to take down a man with 92 billion lumens of photonic goodness surging into his taint,” the pantsless HHS secretary said as he triumphantly spread his legs from his perch on the tower’s boiler in conditions so hot a passing barn swallow was seen bursting into flames.

Here is a horror story. The most destructive bauxite miner taking over an only slightly less destructive bauxite miner. Bye-bye Northern Jarrah forest ecosystems. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...
I have gotten to the point of I don't care. The mine should close sooner. If the workers cannot find alternative skill sets/employment in the next 2 years then tough. All the trades should be able to move on and get a job. Those who moved to the area for work, they will just have to move again.

If confirmed, this is very sad news. We have a lot of critically threatened bird and mammal species in WA and this could decimate them. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

That indigenous bushcraft is taught to ADF personnel for survival training is well documented. But Pauline is the pet of the MAGA Hag Gina, who is the daughter of a monster who thought poisoning indigenous people was a solution. They all swim in the same sewer. thenightly.com.au/politics/pau...
