$2.2 million is an outrageous sum of money for one public servant to earn. What's more, 17 people in the Future Fund are now on more than a million - only one woman among them. Australians who can barely afford groceries right now, will share my outrage. tinyurl.com/mak89juh

This area in front of Gare du Nord in Paris used to be full of cars and totally chaotic, but they recently limited the street to pedestrians and cyclists and it has made a huge difference. This is what cities that care about people do.

For those of you who think I'm a ride-or-die Reagan guy, my Reagan-voting roomie and I in the 80s never missed a Toles cartoon, and we thought his cartoons were not only hilarious, but often painfully on the mark and true.

Is eating farmed salmon worth snuffing out 40m years of Tasmanian evolution? | Tim Flannery

theguardian.comIs eating farmed salmon worth snuffing out 40m years of Tasmanian evolution? | Tim FlanneryWithout the strongest conservation efforts, it can’t be long before the Maugean skate – and other marine living fossils in Australia – are wiped out * Explore the series – Last chance: the extinction crisis being ignored this election Australia is justly famous as a place where ancient species, long extinct elsewhere, live on. After aeons of adversity, Australia’s living fossils often survive only in protected habitats: the Wollemi, Huon and King Billy pines, the Queensland lungfish and even the Tasmanian devil (which thrived on the mainland at the same time as the Egyptians were building the pyramids) are good examples. Such species are a source of wonder for anyone interested in the living world and they should serve as a source of hope that, given half a chance, even ancient, slow-changing species can survive periods of dramatic climate change. Australia’s largest repository of living fossils is arguably the cool, shallow marine waters off its southern coastline. Despite that fact that most of us enjoy a swim, snorkel or walk on the beach, the biological importance of our shallow temperate seas is almost entirely unrecognised. Continue reading...
