“A new study led by Flinders University has flipped the historical narrative about #Australia's #thylacine, finding the native apex predator known as the ‘ #TasmanianTiger ’ was significantly different from the wolves and wild dogs it was likened to before being hunted to #extinction.”

Hell hath no fury like a tasmanian mother receiving a tassal salmon tea towel, brought home by their child who was "gifted" this toxic BS to take home from school.
It's only on the meta of MP for franklin Peter George, so instead of linking, here's what I'd do with such a tea towel.

After 60 years, the proof is in: logging Tasmania’s wet forests makes them MORE flammable, not less.
Regrowth from clearfells burns hotter and more intensely than old-growth — denser canopies, drier microclimates, leaves closer to the fuel on the ground. A 2019 bushfire gave scientists the perfect natural experiment, and the data is clear.
Old-growth forests are our best defence against worsening bushfires. Time to end native forest logging in Tassie. Protect what’s left.

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."

Suspicious photos of alleged thylacine revealed by pop wildlife biologist
New photos claim to show a thylacine in Tasmania. Distributed by a popular television personality who popularizes mysterious animal sightings, the photos and the backstory appear bogus. In today’s tech landscape, where digital images can be easily manipulated or manufactured, cryptid images without additional evidence should, by default, not be considered useful.
On May 14, 2024, TV wildlife biologist Forrest Galante posted a YouTube video showing a Zoom discussion with a guy from Minneapolis who claims he and his Dad came upon what they thought was a dog on the side of the road at night in Tasmania. They stopped to help and took photos when they realized it wasn’t a dog. The photos he provided appear to show a thylacine, which has been extinct for decades. Galante interviewed the witness “Zach” and revealed the photos said to have been taken in mid-April at an undisclosed location (near Upper Stowport).
The video interview is long and somewhat annoying to watch because the witness isn’t very helpful and also keeps his face hidden. Galante doesn’t know what to think because he sees some problems in the story and the photos. While mentioning the inconsistencies, he still desperately wants to believe and also benefits from the hype this could generate. Many people want to believe the thylacine is still existing out there.
Thylacines (or Tasmanian tigers) were marsupials native to Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea that filled the role of top predator. The last known thylacine died in 1936 and none were captured in the wild after 1933. Data strongly suggests that the their population was in decline and efforts to eliminate thylacines from farmed areas worked too well. After decades of no verified accounts of its existence, it was declared officially extinct by the Tasmanian government in the 1980s. Some people insist it still is out there and see their possibility everywhere, however, the evidence is very poor – just stories and terrible visuals.
The photos given to Galante looked to be edited or created from existing photos and models. They are strangely blurry, the background and shadows look wrong and the features inconsistent. There is no indication, besides the witness’ word, that they were taken in Tasmania. He did not give the exact location. The details are nonexistent or conflicting. Galante noticed the photos were not originals; he asked for the original unedited photos but there is no word that he got them. By the end of the interview, Galante assured Zach that he would contact authorities regarding this sighting.
More analysis here by Miles and Trey:
Plastic Plesiosaur Podcast May 15, 2024
And Reddit: At Least Some of the Thylacine “photos” appear to be manipulated images of Archesuchus’ Thylacine doll
Galante and the photos are getting significant attention. Thanks to social media, more people than ever see these images and volunteer their opinion based on their hopes, not their zoological or technological experience. From the responses on Reddit and YouTube, there is a significant percentage of those who think these are genuine pics of a live thylacine, some people think the photos are clearly hoaxed, and a third portion think these photos are fakes but the thylacine is really still around. The proponents of a living thylacine have opinions based on little more than wishful thinking.
I marvel at the many instances where, when presented with the same visual evidence (for example, the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film), some people will insist that the images of a cryptid are obviously fake and others insist with similar enthusiasm they are totally legitimate and proof-positive documentation. It can’t be both. One party’s opinion is entirely wrong.
What’s the best bet?
For those making an extraordinary claim – that something declared extinct and not seen for decades is still around – you must do better than grainy, awful visuals or “I saw it” stories. Regardless of the alleged sighting reports of creatures, whether it be a thylacine or a Bigfoot, there remains key pieces missing in the interpretation that would make the animals’ reality plausible. We have no body parts, no DNA, no reliable sighting patterns – no item to test or solid path to follow. If there is one animal, there must be many, yet we don’t see corresponding evidence of that. People were able to track and kill thylacines to the point where so few remained that they could not survive. Why do we not see them now? How did so few remain for so long without discovery? Because they are truly gone and people aren’t seeing or photographing thylacines.

There were a few other cars present, but I didn't get pictures of everything.
If any of you know what these car are, or the ones in my previous post, please feel free to comment.

Oh, that reminds me. We had the car show in Deloraine a couple of weekends ago. Have some car porn.

So last night we finally watched the conclusion of Deadloch.
Deadloch is a short murder mystery series set in a small town on the coast of Tasmania.
The town has been the destination for a large number of sea and tree changers, which has lead to a number of stresses with the older families in the area. Not to mention the traditional custodians (yes, they do still exist).
So when a body turns up on a beach there is quite a stir. The region's Police Commissioner does not think the local cop's up to the task, and brings in a detective from interstate to run the case.
The two could not be more different, but their journey through the case is eye opening for both of them. And the growth in the secondary characters is wonderful.
Naturally, the town is buried in secrets that no-one wants to come out, and then more bodies start turning up. And more bodies. And still more.
To round out the setting, we have a very diverse cast of characters - which plays into the seachange town stresses perfectly.
The series is written by a pair of comedy greats in Australian TV, and it has many comedic moments, but at the heart of the show is the police procedural and murder mystery.
It is gritty, profane, rude, rough, and, like several of the characters, has an amazing and huge heart.
10/10 and a strong chilli chocolate with a salted caramel core on the Sid and Nancy scale.

It is widely accepted that the Tasmanian tiger or #thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) became #extinct following the demise of the last captive individual at Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart on 7 September 1936 – but many sightings have been reported since.
A detailed analysis of more than 1200 sightings suggests the Tasmanian tiger survived until the 1980s, and that there’s a slim chance a few are still around.

Fascinating study suggests it's very likely that the thylacine, last confirmed to exist in 1936, only truly went extinct late in the 20th century...and there's a small chance a few could be roaming Tasmania's most remote wildernesses even now. 😮

Tasmania Bike Tour - Launceston to Hobart - Notes & Observations
Three friends and I recently flew to Tasmania and embarked on an unsupported, 6 day, 510km ride from the northern city of Launceston, along the east coast, to the state's southern Hobart. We broke the riding up, a little unevenly, across the six days, depending on the accommodation availability. Large stretches of the coast are sparsely populated, so riding between population centres needed to be a factor.
It was a brilliant trip that, with a little tweaking, worked very well and gave us a good look at Tasmania, with some great riding and some fun stops. Below are my notes and observations for my own, future reference and possibly for others planning a similar trip.
Overall, the trip was 7 days:
* Land and set up on day 0
* Then ride days 1-6
* Leave late on day 7I had planned to ride about 590km with 6600m of climbing but, for various reasons, we actually rode 510km and 6100m of elevation.
Accommodation was $2000 between the four of us, sharing rooms and even, on one occasion, beds!
Flights were normal cost and the bikes came in under the 23kg of checked in luggage allowed, so no extra baggage fees.Bikes were packed into bike boxes which can be obtained at the airport (probably) or from local bike shops for free.
Things to consider: (see comments below)
