Very sad news. Moli det bigibigi (Molly the pig) passed away in the recent Katherine floods. It was a beloved pet in the Kalano community for years, with two amazing Kriol books written about it. Community members are very sad.

It’s not helpful to talk about the “Australian pair” in a doubles match when all four are Australian @cdesilva23 @abcsport 🙈 Kubler is also a former AO dubs champ but he sounds like an underdog in your writing.

I miss when we shared ideas and knowledge on here and had lively debate. Is it still a thing on X or is it all in the past?

A reversal of fortune in the polls with Dutton’s approval down and Albo’s up. But why? I assume it’s blowback from Australians seeing how unhinged Trump is and wanting to avoid the same here?

This is absolutely grotesque from the NT Government - a law giving all power to one man to override existing regulations so that big business can exploit the NT for profit. Obscene. Here’s how last night’s community forum went down: greenleft.org.au/content/commun…

My L2 English speaking partner was feeling good, distinguishing “sofa” and “so far” (a long way away) with no issues ❤️ Little did he know, the other “so far”, meaning ‘until this point in time’, was just about to burst his bubble. Poor English learners 😔 he was v confused 😩

Oh wow. Former NT Labor Deputy Chief Minister Nicole Mansion who bent over backwards to promote Texan fracking company Tamboran walks straight into a plumb job as VP. They’re just sickening.

@AjaanMark So.... their high votes have fallen slightly but their overall vote is up. Why the negative talk then? An alternative view is Greens are becoming more broadly popular but you wouldn't know that listening to @AntonyGreenElec

NT Government preparing to go HAM on environmental destruction. Is this 1950? Do they know nothing about the contemporary reality of our planet? abc.net.au/news/2024-10-2…

Governments are steamrolling us and going ahead with fracking despite strong, persistent concerns. When will @MadeleineMHKing and @tanya_plibersek start to prioritise what Australians want and keep fossil fuels in the ground and stop gifting our resources for little benefit.

I have so much respect for @Malarndirri19 and hope she can protect the NT from fracking. It’s so deeply unwanted and intrinsically dangerous for the NT’s land and water. @tanya_plibersek use the water trigger now so that frackers can’t just do as they please. Don’t Frack the NT!

Fracking the NT has turfed not one but two governments out of office. Voters turned on CLP in a massive way in 2016 when Labor offered a moratorium on Fracking. Eight years later, Labor had greenlit fracking and got decimated just like CLP. Let’s just end fracking!

Nightcliff in the NT Election was a 4-horse race so it took 1.5 weeks for a real preference count to appear. Annnndddd… Greens are ahead! With only a handful of votes to come (plus a recount). Greens may actually get into NT Parliament for the first time! 💚💚
