I went out to lunch today at a cafe with a friend. I had a hamburger. With beetroot relish. Yum! We're obviously in Australia. A hamburger is not a hamburger if it's not under the influence of beetroot. 🫜 #Hamburger #Beetroot #Australia

#Australia Nationals leader Matt Canavan has long opposed climate action. Most notably, he led the charge last year to remove the aspirational target of net zero by 2050 from the Nationals’ platform. The Liberals swiftly followed suit. The Coalition’s latest objectives seem to be curbing immigration, promoting so-called “Australian values” and celebrating the ongoing extraction of fossil fuels https://theconversation.com/why-the-coalitions-lurch-to-the-right-is-bad-for-the-climate-280915 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

A question for any non-Aussies reading this: How many Australian cities can you name off the top of your head, and which ones? What do you know about them? #askFedi #Fediverse #questions #Australia #travel

In Campbell Town, central Tasmania, they have a statue of Elizabeth Furlong. She was part of a farming dynasty that helped introduce Merino sheep to Australia. I like the way the town commemorate socio economic achievement rather than politico military like so many do. And it's good that the woman of the family gets recognition rather than being erased and eclipsed by her male relatives. #Tasmania #lutruwita #Australia #Statue #Equality #Womensrights

#Australia States have driven climate action until now. It’s time for the Australian government to step up Chris Wright 6–7 minutes For more than a decade, Australia’s emissions reductions have been driven not by the federal government but by the states and territories, often in relative obscurity https://theconversation.com/states-have-driven-climate-action-until-now-its-time-for-the-australian-government-to-step-up-277481 #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateDisruption #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Australia Having been granted an extended 40-year lease to continue to mine gas on the Burrup Peninsula, Woodside is now seeking federal government approval to drill 57 gas wells at Scott Reef. It would have devastating consequences for endangered species, migrating whales & a warming planet, in part due to Woodside’s toxic emissions https://www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1452/news/climate-protesters-demand-answers-woodside #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate #ClimateStrike

So, it now seems like ASIO will be able to:

  • arrest you for questioning with approval rubber-stamped by the AG (instead of a warrant after a judge being shown evidence)
  • detain you indefinitely

If you are arrested or detained by ASIO, it’s now illegal to:

  • tell someone that happened to you
  • refuse to speak (rely on the right to silence)

This includes children as young as 14 years old—meaning they can’t tell their parent or guardian that they’ve been arrested.

Lawyers are permitted to be present during questioning, but I’m not sure if they are included in the “you can’t tell anyone” clause of the legislation, and the ASIO agents who are conducting the interrogation get to dictate how they advise and interact with their clients.

Your lawyer can also be removed if those ASIO agents decide they’re a “security risk”.

Your lawyer isn’t allowed to intervene during the interrogation (to tell you your rights, for example), and can only ask for the agents to clarify a question or ask for you to be able to have a break.

This legislation will also have no sunset clause. It’ll be permanent.

(this is only from a quick scan of the legislation, I’m sure there’s a bunch of other things I’m missing atm)

We’ve been typically light on rain so I turned the sprinkler on and came back out to the local #magpie family enjoying themselves 😍 I do keep a container there for water so they are frequent visitors #gardening #australia
