We checked out around the new Balam Balam Place Arts precinct in Brunswick built by Merri-bek Council.
It features a huge mural - ‘Always’ - by Gamilaroi artist Riko Rennie.
There is a public open day on April 5.

We were at the #Willsvotes election launch in the Brunswick Town Hall organised by 350Australia a week ago..
We are already directly engaging humans to #VoteClimate , for all our sakes.
Not volunteering for phone banking as humans wouldn't understand our woofing pleas. Except maybe Dr Doolittle and our Dad.

“We helped Dad put up posters advertising the visitors from the Northern Territory coming to speak on the Northern Territory as a sacrifice zone in the development of gas for export.
They will be at Coburg Town Hall on Saturday 23 November 2.30pm to 5pm.
This is important, people. The Federal Labor Government is providing a $1.5 billion subsidy to Middle Arm industrial hub plus another $400 million to other infrastructure enabling gas expansion such as roads for pipeline development.
New research says exported gas has 33% more lifecycle emissions than coal. Japan’s gas use has been declining since 2014 but the Japanese companies have been re-exporting Australian gas to Asia as well as promoting purchase of gas infrastructure locking in #Fossilfuels rather than #renewables.
Don’t 🐾, Get on your feet and get along to Coburg Town Hall.
#MoreWalkies Less #FossilFuels is what we say.

City of Melbourne's e-scooter ban under pressure from councils in city's inner-north
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-23/inner-melbourne-councils-e-scooter-hire/104260120Sad to see Greens and ALP mayors of Darebin, Merri-bek, and Moonee Valley so out of touch with reality.
Now is not the time to cosy-up to e-scooter hire companies and greenwash their bad business practices. Local councils should stop giving money to Uber and stop trying to greenwash-away substandard cycling infrastructure in local councils.
Darebin Mayor Susanne Newton has ignored years of complaints from residents and medical care workers, and shows what a gullible fool she is with this glib statement:
"I've spoken to the providers and I'm pretty comfortable with the technology that they're using to reduce speeds, make sure people park in particular places."On the other hand, Melbourne Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece took a realistic approach. He said the City of Melbourne's decision to ban the hire of e-scooters was in response to frustrated traders, residents and emergency department doctors and said he was "fed up with bad behaviour putting our community at risk".

Stage 5 #FRATL of 1.55am please @Sophoife .
After a hard day with time in the dentists special fenced garden, watching a busker in Bourke st mall, then adding our bark to climate protests outside NAB and ANZ banks (funding Santos #Fossilfuels) it was time to head home and dodge some heavy rain at Krispy Kreme at Gowrie with the setting sun.

We did some quality assurance for the Glenroy dog park about to open.
They left enough gap that we might be able to squeeze under the entrance gates of the small dog area. They should get the people that do the fences around soccer pitches as they don’t usually have gaps under the fence for small dogs to escape.
We dont think Council like disabled dog carers either. Those pull up latches are mounted 1.6 metres high. They require two hands to operate the mechanism and open the gate. It must suck to be a wheelchair bound dog carer.
Glad the gates to small dog area were unlocked. We got to run around to do our inspection, leave some peemails and one 💩 which Dad picked up and disposed of in the bin.🐶🐶

We got to join a facilitated tour of Box Forest flood retarding basin in Glenroy with Melbourne Water. Plans for opening this for public access and converting concrete channel of Merlynston creek to a series of wetland ponds. Will be great for #walkies when complete in 2-5 years time.
Dad has posted on this and more on FB

It’s impossible to hide behind these endangered Matted Flax Lillies, Dad. Although good that LXRP have planted lots of them beside the #UpfieldBikePath under Coburg Skyrail. We even saw a bee, we hope it was a blue banded bee engaging in buzz pollination.

I was interviewed on Solidarity Breakfast | 3CR Community Radioshow Sat 10 Dec. Interview starts about 12 minutes in. Subject was the swings against Labor in the Northern suburbs, and the silence on upgrading the #Upfieldline extending it to Wallan. I also discuss the VAMPIRE index (vulnerability assessment for mortgage, petroleum and inflation risks and expenditure) adding to #costofliving pressures in northern suburbs.
Also for the first time the MPs representing #Merribek have all signed the #climateemergency declaration.

I just finished summarising the Australian State of the Climate 2022 report for Climate Action Merribek, in the context of the current state election. We are in the age of consequences with climate impacts on food production, health, and other economic activity as well as environmental impacts on ecosystems adding to species extinction threat..
