  1. Today, I ran a chess tournament for kids in the northwest of Tasmania. Outside of the main metro hubs of Hobart and Launceston, there isn't much chess activity, and the atmosphere was buzzing, the kids revelling in the chance to participate in their chosen pursuit while parents were so thankful. It was an unbelievably feel-good experience 🙂

  17. From 2023: Explainer: What are your rights to #protest in #Australia?

    by Amal Naser

    "Which states have criminalised protest and what forms of protest are criminalised?

    "#HumanRights organisations have been increasingly critical towards some Australian states over new legislation which seemingly targets #EnvironmentalProtests in the midst of a global #Climatecrisis.

    "There are dozens of protest regulations across many states, with five (#NSW, #Queensland, #SouthAustralia, #Tasmania and #Victoria) introducing forms of #AntiProtest regulation most recently. South Australia's new laws, passed just last month, increase maximum fines from $750 to $50,000 along with potential jail time, and were prompted by disruption of an #OilAndGas conference by protestors in early May.

    "In the aftermath of protests which sought to block port operations and shut down economic action to draw attention to demands for climate action, the NSW Parliament passed legislation which could see protestors face up to a $22,000 fine and/or prison for a maximum of two years. The legislation targets individuals who block major roads and new tunnels and/or disrupt #port operations in major ports such as #Newcastle and #PortBotany.

    "In 2022, Tasmania passed anti-protest laws by way of the Police Offences Amendment (Workplace Protection) Bill 2022 under the guise of protecting Tasmanian workers. Under these laws, any protestor who obstructs a workplace during protests could face up to 12 months in prison, the Human Rights Law Centre reported:

    " '…community member protesting the destruction of #OldGrowthForests on a forestry site could face a penalty of over $13,000 or 2 years in prison; and An organisation supporting members of the community to protest could be fined over $45,000.'

    "Similar laws were also passed in Victoria. #AntiLogging protestors who 'hinder, obstruct or interfere with timber-harvesting operations' can face up to 12 months in prison and/or a $21,000 fine. PVC and metal pipes which are often used in protest activities are now prohibited in working sites, with additional powers provided to police to search suspect individuals who are 'reasonably suspicious'.

    "In 2019, on public safety grounds, Queensland passed legislation which bans locking devices as modes of civil disobedience. These are tactics used to make it difficult for police to remove protestors and are often used by protestors to lock themselves to property and #pipelines to prevent construction of environmentally-harmful projects. Protestors face up to two years in prison and/or a $6,000 fine. It was rationalised on the basis of activists lacing devices with 'butane canisters' and other devices which were harmful for law enforcement. However, there is no evidence of the use of these devices."

  18. Looks like I made it to #flickr Explore again today! I found out mind afternoon when my watch started pinging me wildly.

    Thats 3 out of the last 4 of my photos that have made the Flickr Explore pool for the day. I'd like to think that this means I can call myself an accomplished #Photographer :)

    Anyway, This photo is of a winter's morning fog that has settled into the valley between Gretna and Rosegarland in southern Tasmania's Derwent Valley. The colouration is a morning golden hue with the photo looking into the sun which is on the right of the photo.

  19. This evening Bennetts wallabies moved in to the garden.
    Gorgeous as always, although they do eat everything (and they love the golden ash).
