Two sea tragedies in one week. Both are newsworthy. In one, 5 millionaires who paid $250,000 per trip are lost. In the other, 500 refugees who paid their life savings are lost. And yet only one of these tragedies has attracted widespread global media coverage. Why? #RefugeeWeek23

Liberal MP Bridget Archer on the Voice: “there can be no more liberal idea than self-determination. That’s what we’re seeking to deliver” “We can’t have the symbolic without the practical” BUT adds “hope isn’t a strategy. We need to redouble our efforts and work together”

It is terrifying how much influence the gambling lobby wields in Australia. It's time for the government to prioritize the well-being of its citizens over corporate interests. #stopgambling

They were one of the first domesticated plants, but #millets have been neglected and overshadowed by other grains over the last decades. These six reasons listed by @FAO explain why millets deserve our attention and a place on our tables 👉 buff.ly/3Jm9RO0 #IYM2023

I'm already on the record as a fan of #Gazania variation, but this one struck me as a ripper.

@michaelfrost6 It's not just about the law though is it? It's hearts and minds. In the USA, an industry sponsored lobby group has persuaded ppl to regard one amendment to their constitution as virtually scripture.

In 1996, after a mass shooting that killed 35 people and wounded another 28, the Australian government not only enacted stricter gun controls, they also bought back and destroyed 650,000 legally owned guns, approx 20% of all privately owned guns in the country.

"My country only emits 1% of global emissions. What it does makes no difference". It's a common claim. But add up the emissions of countries that emit less than 2% each (a 'negligible amount') – they emit more than China. Imagine if they all decided to do nothing.

@stationmum101 Seen some big chunks of money go to spruikers that I thought weren't worth it. I think the best value I've seen was Costa G. but that was more talking to kids about the value of education and training.
