Australia is in an extinction crisis – why isn’t it an issue at this election?

"Over the past decade, more than 550 Australian species have been either newly recognised as at risk of extinction or moved a step closer to being erased from the planet."

"Analysis shows 1,964,200 hectares of koala habitat was cleared between 2012 and 2021 – 81% of that in Queensland."

"Australia tops global rankings for mammal extinction – at least 33 species have died out since European invasion and colonisation – and is number two behind Indonesia for loss of biodiversity. The challenge is not only to stop the loss of habitat but to restore the environment in places it has been lost in 250 years of European-driven clearing."

Is Claudia Sheinbaum the leader of the free world?

"Around the globe, liberal humanism is faltering while the forces of reactionary cruelty are on the march. So Sheinbaum, who has adopted López Obrador’s slogan “For the good of all, first the poor,” can seem like a shining exception to the reigning spirit of autocratic machismo."

Understanding the health impacts of the climate crisis
and imagining a positive future

"Climate change is the greatest threat to human health now."

"Climate change is already causing significant shifts in weather patterns and an increase in extreme weather events around the world, including droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, storms and floods."

"The major cause of pollution is the burning of fossil fuels, further motivating action on reducing GHG; adverse weather events, such as heatwaves, can acutely amplify pollution impacts."

From the “Dept. Of Break Shit And Move Fast” 🤣☺️

“We need to get serious about using some of these younger generations in a different way,” Tate said.

“They are #DigitalNatives, and you will not lift productivity in your business without tapping that innate #SkillSet of these digital natives. It just won’t happen.”

“Tate said adding young, #TechSavvy workers to the company board – or setting up a parallel #technology advisory board composed of these workers – was a #LowCost way of lifting #productivity by accelerating the uptake of technology.”

Ah #Straya, where Companies are filled with Board members called Jeremy, James, Josh and Tiffany, educated, in #Law and #accounting, refined, with great oratory skills. Chums who went to school together.

Who rub the technology equivalent of two sticks together and call it “HiTech” and wonder why their being eaten alive by youngsters.
