Ummm, sorry GA but that is a train, not a tram - I know it’s confusing when your views of the world are coming from Sydney and your sham trams. Next thing you know is that you will be declaring the 612 bus to Chaddy a ferry 😀. It is a shame that you don’t have local people to ask about such things….

In honor of the Tawny Frogmouth's recent 2nd place showing in #GuardianAustralia #BirdOfTheYear2023 I present this picture from 2017 of the only time I saw one in the wild. On a walk in the Mt Glorious area near #Brisbane, I said to my wife, "Hey, that mailbox has a great tawny frogmouth carving... oh wait!"

#GuardianAustralia, typically the best of a terrible lot amongst mainstream #AustralianMedia when it comes to reporting on issues of #justice & planetary crises, is still fundamentally a pro-capitalist organisation.
Today's snapshots:
- https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jul/27/nsw-considering-all-options-to-keep-power-bills-down-as-coal-cap-end-date-looms
An article on how #NSWLabor government under #ChrisMinns is considering expanding #coal subsidies that doesn't mention the fact that these are direct subsidies to the coal industry at a time of soaring profits due to Putin's war in Ukraine. Unmentioned: the "cap" on prices is accompanied by the government stepping in to pay coal companies for the gap between sky-high international coal prices & the cap on what local consumers pay for electricity. The article quotes the head of the coal lobby (former chief of staff to #MikeBaird btw) but no voices critical of the policy.
#nswpol- https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jul/26/house-prices-australia-sydney-rebound-growth
An article reporting on the worsening of the #HousingAffordability crisis framed exclusively in positive language (growth, rebound, recovery, clawed back lost value, recouping, revival, best (=highest)). Senior figure in property market quoted extensively. #auspol
