@nprofile…xuw2 I get where you’re coming from, but this kind of approach tends to have the opposite effect.
It doesn’t exactly inspire change, more the reverse.

@nprofile…xuw2 Genuine question: is the goal to reduce animal suffering, or to challenge people who aren’t fully aligned yet?
Because those can lead to very different conversations, and one is a lot more likely to bring people along.

Reading this was honestly confronting. As a pescetarian, it’s easy to tell ourselves fish are somehow “different”, but the science is getting harder to ignore.
Some species can suffer for 10 to 20 minutes after being pulled from the water, gasping and in distress before losing consciousness.
Not sure what to do with that yet… just sitting with it.

Ken Henry, the bloke who actually knows how Treasury works, just dropped the truth bomb: ignore the gas giants' self-serving whingeing and slap a 100% tax on their windfall profits.
These multinationals are raking it in from global crises (Russia-Ukraine, now Iran) while Australians cop the cost-of-living pain and get peanuts back in tax. Henry says it's 'socially optimal' — the investments that make sense still happen, the pure luck/profit from external shocks goes to the public purse for schools, hospitals, or even a sovereign wealth fund instead of foreign shareholders.
We've been getting ripped off for years with the weak PRRT. Time to stop the giveaway. Tax the windfall, ease the pressure on households, and tell the CEOs crying 'uninvestable' to take a seat. Resources belong to Australia, not just their bonus pool.

Oh no, over 1,000 fish just croaked in a containment pond at Darwin Port from acidic iron ore runoff.
Tragic.
But hey, it's not our port anymore — 99-year lease to the Chinese owners and all — so who cares?
Carry on, nothing to see here. Darwin Harbour's had worse, right?

Heartbreaking: Thousands of fluffy emperor penguin chicks have drowned as Antarctic sea ice shatters beneath them — too early for the babies to swim or stay warm.
The IUCN has now officially listed emperor penguins as Endangered. Record-low sea ice, driven by global heating, is collapsing their breeding grounds. Entire colonies are falling into the ocean. Chicks that don't drown often freeze to death, soaked and helpless.
This isn't some distant future scenario. It's happening now — in 2022 alone, four out of five colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea were wiped out. Scientists are calling them a "sentinel species": what we're doing to the planet is playing out in real time on the ice.
The emperor penguin’s move to endangered is a stark warning: climate change is accelerating the extinction crisis before our eyes.

Easter good news!
Australia's Greater Bilby population has quadrupled in just 5 years – up to 5,330 individuals!
Thanks to wet years + predator-free fenced areas, this threatened species is bouncing back strong. Resilience in action.

Europe’s $24T breakup with Visa & Mastercard has begun. ECB’s Lagarde warns almost all EU card/mobile payments still run on non‑European rails, sending spending data outside the EU. Now EPI + EuroPA are launching Wero, a pan‑EU wallet for 130M users to pay cross‑border without US networks. A huge shift for payment sovereignty—and data privacy.

Australia has absolute stonks of gas. We're exporting 83% of it as LNG while households and manufacturers get screwed by sky-high prices linked to the global market.
Gas industry: 'A 25% export tax will cause shortages, job losses, and hurt Aussies!'
Reality: We've got enough for domestic needs till 2050. This is just greedy exporters protecting their record profits while paying peanuts in tax. Norway and Qatar tax the hell out of theirs and the industry thrives.
Time to stop being played for fools. Tax the exports, give Australians a fair return on our resources. 91% of readers agree — poll after poll shows it.
Big Gas can cry all they want. The gas belongs to us, not their overseas shareholders.

This is exactly what happens when corporations run a nation.
Massive welfare for the rich — trillions in bailouts, subsidies, tax loopholes and sweetheart deals — while they pay basically zero effective tax. The result? A country bled dry, with working people left holding the bag for endless deficits and crumbling services.
Sound familiar, Australia? Our mining multinationals, Big Tech giants and foreign-owned energy firms do the same thing here: rake in billions from our resources and markets, dodge tax through havens and loopholes, then lecture us about "budget emergencies" when it's time to fund Medicare, NDIS or affordable housing.
Corporate capture isn't just an American disease — it's global. Time to tax the bastards properly and put people and planet before profit.

We are one of the world’s biggest gas exporters, yet the federal government collects more from taxing beer drinkers than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax on offshore gas. Ordinary Australians pay more for a slab than multinationals pay for extracting our shared resources. If that is not a broken system, what is? Time for a proper inquiry and a fair return to the public.

Here's how developers get their paws on prime public waterfront: NSW Crown Lands jacks up rent on Port Hacking Sailing Club by over 600%—from $660 to nearly $10k (then 'kindly' halves it to $5k).
Volunteer club open to all, no fancy bar or pokies, just community sailing since 1945. Can't afford it? Too bad, close down.
Next step: sell off the land to the "highest bidder" -behind close doors, with zero advertising. Public space, a gift for the rich, again. Solidarity with the club—keep fighting!

Yeah, not full fake identities mostly — more like forged docs (fake income proof, dodgy payslips, AI fakes, suspect deposits). Borrowers are often real people, but applications get inflated with bullshit to snag bigger loans.
Brokers are key players — they hunt loopholes, push limits (or break rules) for commissions, sometimes link up with insiders or syndicates. CBA’s going hard on their broker networks because of it.
Big difference: most loans are still being repaid, and the bank holds the properties as security, so no huge losses yet. It’s more gaming the system for extra borrowing than outright theft.
Banks gotta tighten up: better checks, stop blindly trusting brokers.

CBA uncovers ~$1B in suspected fraudulent home loans — some using AI-generated fake docs. Bank self-reported to police & ASIC. No direct losses (loans being repaid, secured by properties), but this screams industry-wide vulnerability.
Whistleblowers + NAB's $150M case triggered deeper scrutiny. Criminals are levelling up with AI forgeries.

Nature is finally healing in the Galápagos! After 180 years of absence, giant tortoises are once again roaming Floreana Island.
This isn't just a win for the tortoises; it's a massive victory for the entire ecosystem. As ecosystem engineers, these 158 juveniles will help reshape the landscape, disperse seeds, and pave the way for other species to thrive. A huge shoutout to the scientists and the local community who spent decades making this "extinction reversal" a reality.

The Earth is drying out, and we may have reached a tipping point in how much water is stored in the soil due to climate change. The decline in soil moisture is so significant that it’s now contributing more to sea level rise and changes in Earth’s rotation wobble than the melting ice sheets of Greenland. #ClimateChange #EarthSustainability #GlobalWarming
