If Govt is serious about halting extinctions then developments on Ramsar listed wetlands can't go ahead. The Toondah Harbour application is on Tanya Plibersek desk waiting for a decision. We need decisions that protect Nature, incl. endangered species like Eastern curlews.

@tanya_plibersek “Environmental laws are broken” - yes they are, but you’re reading from the fake environmentalists’ playbook. Never criticising population & economic growth. We see you.

@tanya_plibersek Now come to FNQ and see what’s going on here to koala, greater glider & rock wallaby habitat. And red goshawk, wedge-tailed eagle habitat.

@tanya_plibersek So glad you’re revealing this Sen Pocock. We in Bris were so proud when the area was declared a RAMSAR site. Now I’ve lost all respect for Qld state govt for supporting this development. The project’s history features political donations, secret govt agreements & Josh Frydenburg.

@tanya_plibersek The entire planet is made of connected interwoven life systems. You can't smash one without damaging others. Leave it alone Tanya, you're breaking the Earth 🌎

@tanya_plibersek You are a bullshit artist, Dave. Why are we developing natural spaces anywhere? To accommodate our immigration-fed population growth. More people, more development. It is that simple! And they ALWAYS want the best bits! Time to talk immigration & population GROWTH!

@UQ_CBCS @tanya_plibersek I thought we'd moved on from the mentality of treating mangroves as "waste land" & had acknowledged the importance of this environment as a nursery for many young fish & other important animals

@tanya_plibersek If the Toondah Harbour development goes ahead then government cannot be taken seriously!

@tanya_plibersek Funny, the Coorong /Lower Lakes should also be affected by salt water and preserved that way - not by artificial barrages requiring fresh water from the Murray Darling Basin

#SaveOurVlei Here’s how you send a message from the sky to our Members of Parliament of Zimbabwe who want to build their houses on Monavale Wetland #SaveMonavaleVlei - one of Zimbabwe’s only 7 Wetlands of International Importance protected under the Convention on Wetlands! And this is happening while Zimbabwe is the President of the Ramsar Convention of Wetlands! 😳 Tomorrow, 5th May 2026, in Switzerland, the delegation from Zimbabwe will be chairing the Standing Committee meeting of the Ramsar Convention to discuss how to protect wetlands globally. Yet back home, our wetlands on public lands are being privatized and allocated to MPs to construct their homes. Wetlands are for all of us! We depend on them for clean water, green space, flood prevention and so much more. We need to defend them for the sake our children and our children’s children. #SaveMonavaleVlei #WetlandsMatter #SaveOurWetlands

BREAKING: JD VANCE ON JOE KENT RESIGNATION: Whatever your view is, when the POTUS makes a decision, it’s your job to help make that decision as effective and successful as possible. If you are on the team and you can’t help implement the decisions of Trump’s administration, then it is a good thing for you to resign.

🚨Lindsay Hooper, CEO of the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, is now calling to put a price tag on every aspect of nature, including the air you breathe. "Our economies are completely dependent on nature. They are dependent on finite natural capital like air, water, and soil. And without these forms of value, these forms of natural capital, we won't have economies." "We can't do business on a dead planet. If we're going to protect natural systems, one of the solutions is to bring nature onto the balance sheet, to bring nature into the ways that decisions are made within business, to allocate a value to it and to bring it into accounting and financial mechanisms." We are dealing with demons.

"It just seems in many ways so 'not Liverpool' but then I need to accept the reality that it is because it's happening." "It's a reinforcement that we all need to protect it and that you can't be blasé like I have and just go 'oh yeah we're not like that." Watch in full 🚨👇

The Labor party have been banging on about this three hours of free power but Nat Barr today pulled up Tanya Plibersek and pointed out it's only for Queensland, NSW or South Australia and you may need to be on the market default rate, which is only 10% of the population. If you're on that rate, you're probably paying more than what you will save from the free hours.

Rep. Spartz appeared on ABC News on Saturday to discuss the future of U.S. aid to Ukraine. Rep. Spartz: “We need to have a serious conversation. And if they (Europeans) want to go and do things without America, then they need to put their money where their mouth is.” “The behavior of Europeans have become like a teenage child that thinks that he can act, bash and talk bad about their parents and we are going to come bail them out.”

Nancy Pelosi on the midterms: “We’re gonna win the House. We only need a few to win, but that’s not what this is about. I want 10x that. If we need 3 to win the House, I want 30. We came out ahead on redistricting. They should never have gone down that path. They did, we won.”

This woman that is filming this is 100% accurate. 🔥 We need to protect women's spaces esp in public places. It is at point where you feel like you need to stand guards if one of your children want to go in a public bathroom nowadays to make sure they are safe. Shame on this other woman that is more worried about virtue signaling than standing up for woman and woman's rights.

Barr then asks Barnaby Joyce whether he supports mass deportation and who would he like to see deported: Joyce: “illegal immigrants, that’s why they’re illegal” Barr: “how would you do that?” Joyce: “They’ll be put back on a plane and flown to where they’re supposed to be which is not here because they’re illegal” Barr: “Tanya, what’s your response to that?” Plibersek while giggling: “if you’re here illegally, you should be deported” She couldn’t lie straight in bed.

Everybody I speak with on both sides of the aisle agrees that we need to get our spending down to 3% of GDP. But politics is standing in the way of making good decisions. The idea of compromise is out. I think we all agree that we’re in need of a big renovation. The question is how that renovation gets done — and there’s a lot of fighting over what that renovation might look like. My advice: Politicians on both sides need to agree on a mutually acceptable “worst case scenario” that cuts spending to the level we need, if a broader agreement can’t be reached in the near future.

EXCLUSIVE: Retired 4-Star General Joe Votel On What It Would Take to Secure Kharg Island, Iran’s Primary Oil Export Terminal “If we made the decision to put troops on, troops could get on and secure that oil infrastructure, deny its use to Iran, and then hold it either for a short period of time or for a longer period of time. If we make a decision to stay there longer to preserve that force on the ground, then of course we've got to think about things like reinforcements. We've got to think about sustainment.” LA Times Media Group LA Times Studios
