With climate trigger axed Labor wants to rush new environmental laws through after β€˜positive’ talks with Coalition Proposed timeframe leaves 12 days to scrutinise most significant changes to national environmental protection regime since 1999

β€œThe environment minister wants to pass a major re-write of federal nature laws this year, encouraging miners to lobby the Coalition to work with Labor to help rush it through parliament in the final three sitting weeks”

Just contemplate that sentence.

1/At Macquarie Uni we are losing 50% of our units in my faculty. This is on top of cuts in 2020. We estimate by next year my faculty will be teaching 80% fewer subjects than pre Covid. Disciplines being cut do not have declining enrolments. @jennaprice.bsky.social @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social

She has expressed some interest on taking up golf, after hearing there's a special place for albatrosses, eagles & birdies. Trying to convince her cricketers are big on ducks, depending on one's perspective! Me - I'm thinking crock-pot duck

Has been a very loyal egg-layer for abt 10 yrs, but we suspect she might be over it now as our 4 Khaki's are steady at 3 eggs / day. Can one describe a duck as " post-menopausal", as opposed to "ready for the pot"??

Mr Dimopoulos just shat in the face of every (remaining) PV employee required to maintain national parks on a ever-shrinking shoestring budget

When the duck has a sinus infection, the obvious thing to do (apparently) is give it a warm bath πŸ™ƒ

Top Australian writers urge Albanese to abolish Job-Ready Graduates, calling their humanities degrees life changing Tim Winton, Helen Garner and Peter Garrett are just a few of the high-profile signatories to an open letter against Job-Ready Graduates – and for the humanities.

"We make students ready for the job market. But without the tools to think deeply, imagine ethically and reason clearly, we risk leaving them soul-starved."
