Okay this is the most honest picture of the bioluminescent firefly petunia I could make. Adjusted exposure time to 5 sec and other parameters to match EXACTLY what I see with my eyes. This is 5mins after grow lights shut off. I swear this is what my eyes saw. – at Huntington, NY

It's coming! In 2024 we'll see the gender pay gaps at individual Australian business published.
We'll see the data on 27 Feb.

Australia produces more than enough food to feed our population. Yet, food insecurity is on the rise and a third of food we produce is wasted. 🍲
With the help of our scientists and organisations like @FoodbankAus, we're decoding these challenges: csiro.au/en/news/All/Article…

We would like to honour the men and women of the First Nations Regional Dialogues and the National Constitutional Convention at Uluṟu. Thank you for your mighty contribution to the nation. Thank you for the Uluṟu Statement from the Heart. Our people were excluded from the drafting of the Constitution. We were excluded from the nation’s constitutional order until 1967. We remain subject to the “Race power”. You were asked by the Commonwealth, “What is meaningful recognition to you?” And your answer was Recognition thru a Voice. The Voice is intended to include communities in Australian democracy and decision-making. History will remember the courageous and patient men and women of the Uluṟu Dialogues. It’s their legacy we celebrate today. Megan and Pat. Xx
