    The #Australian government has kept secret the Office of National Intelligence climate risks report for three years.
    Select senators, who had signed an NDA and seen it, said it's "Frankly terrifying"

  9. #PlasticPatrol: the #CitizenScientists tackling #litter in #Australian #waterways

    #Plastics make up the majority of litter across the country. In the absence of regulation, the public are taking matters into their own hands

    by James Norman, Fri 30 Jan 2026

    "Neil Blake weighs a paper bag of fake grass fragments he has collected from a stormwater gutter near #DarebinCreek in #Melbourne’s north.

    "Over the past three years Blake has conducted 56 collections of synthetic turf in the waterway alongside the KP Hardiman Reserve hockey pitch.

    " 'I noticed that a local hockey pitch was being replaced and the plastic surface was running off into the local environment,' he says. Strong northerly winds and #LeafBlowers had helped shed the turf fragments into the local #environment.

    "In addition to impacts on #AquaticEcosystems, scientific analysis suggests #PlasticPollution is exacerbating #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss and #OceanAcidification.

    "Australians produce more than 3m tonnes of plastic waste each year, and according to Clean Up’s annual survey of parks, beaches, creeks and other public spaces, plastics make up more than 80% of litter across the country. A review by the New South Wales chief scientist found that one #SyntheticTurf field could transport between 10kg and 100kg of plastic fragments into the #stormwater system or local waterways.

    "Blake has taken advantage of the electronic scales provided by the newly opened community science laboratory in the Port Phillip #EcoCentre in #StKilda, to quantify his samples to present to the local council and the Environment Protection Authority. The lab hosts facilities including microscopes, measuring equipment, safety gear and access to advice from trained scientists.

    "It’s one example of citizen scientists tackling the growing problem of plastics in #waterways, including #beaches, #rivers and dive sites around the country."

  10. "I've Been Everywhere" is a #noveltySong written by #Australian country singer #GeoffMack in 1959, and popularised by #LuckyStarr. A version of the song with different lyrics was popularised by #HankSnow in 1962. The song's lyrics as originally written comprise mainly the #placeNamestoponyms of various Australian towns visited by the singer. It was later adapted by Australian singer #RolfHarris with #British place names (1963).

  11. Make #Gas Giants Pay

    Gas #corporations are making billions from #Australian gas – while the rest of us pay higher energy bills.

    They extract publicly owned gas, sell it overseas at record profits, and pay next to nothing back in #tax. In #Queensland alone, gas companies made $36 billion in a single year and paid ZERO tax.

  12. What are your favourite #Australian #colloquialisms?

    I'm flat out like a lizard drinkin to think of one that isn't crass, but I do like, "on the piss" to mean "a bit wonky" or "slightly leaning".

  13. The corporation paid millions by the #Australian government to collect unpaid #tax has paid zero corporate tax itself.

    Let that sink in.

    #Recoveriescorp, a massive debt collector, has been hired by the Australian Taxation Office to chase down #Australians who fall behind on their tax bills. It's earned well over $100 million in #revenue – much of it from #government contracts.

    Its tax bill? $0.
