I’ve just realised they have mini nooses tied to their jacket lapels. A decade from now the vast majority of people in British media and politics defending Israel will claim they never did any such thing.

My first tango with Peter Dutton. Sadly didn’t get a whole lot of time for questions. Costing/timeline for costing for nuclear still TBC
stranger (@strangerous10) profile picturestranger@strangerous1018 Oct 2024
Peter Dutton questioned how he can claim the “the vast majority of the public in Collie” support Nuclear after he avoided the public during his visit. Peter Dutton accuses ABC journalist of being an “advocate” & attacks the ABC. Great fight back by journo, Dutton smashed💥

A decision to abandon efforts to eradicate varroa mite has saved millions of bees. It was "tears of joy" for one beekeeper who was just hours away from her hives being euthanased. 🐝😅 @TinaMQ @abcnews abc.net.au/news/2023-09-23/b…
Beehive eradication nearly saw the Costas lose their livelihoods, but this week's decision spares...

The transition from beehive eradication to management of varroa mite comes as a relief for Kempsey beekeepers who no longer have to euthanase their hives.

Back in 1991 it was still called the Pet Porpoise Pool 🐬 and I spent a week there working. Founder Hec Goodall paid me $10 and wrote on my school report I was too shy to train dolphins. Too shy!? Look at me 🐟 🦭 I wanted to be a marine biologist thank you!👩🏻‍🔬

It's been two years since the one-in-100-year floods which devastated the NSW Mid-North Coast oyster industry, but Nambucca River grower James Ford is still out of pocket and trying to rebuild his business ⁦⁦@abcnews⁩ 👇🏼 abc.net.au/news/2023-03-28/t…
After three disasters, each oyster shell in this huge pile is a dollar grower James missed out on

After three disasters, each oyster shell in this huge pile is a dollar grower James missed out on

One natural disaster can be a massive setback for a business, but oyster grower James Ford has endured three, which left his lease contaminated by sewage as well.

Our ABC matters. Without sustainable careers, it can’t provide the essential service that the public deserves. We need security for all staff through genuine access to progression for all and equality in the regions. I’m standing @withmeaa to win a fair deal #DontDiscountABC

I chose not to move the city for higher pay. I chose to stay regional and tell the stories of rural Australians. Am I glad I stayed? Yes. I love my job, I love the region, its people, crops, livestock and produce. But yes I’m paying for it. #DontDiscountABC

I love working at the ABC and consider it a privilege. I also love living and working in regional Australia, and I don't think you should have to move to the city to get a pay rise. I’m standing @withmeaa to win a fair deal. #DontDiscountABC

I’ve been fighting for years to be paid at the level I’m working at. I’m now on a Band 4 contract and paid more. That will end soon. My pay will drop but the duties I perform and the level I work at will remain the same. We need genuine progression. #DontdiscountABC @withMEAA – at Hobart, Tasmania
