Some of you may be interested in this free online event from Parents for Climate. They say it's a "practical, no-nonsense webinar designed to help households reduce energy bills, improve comfort, and understand what to look for when taking the next step toward an all-electric home, whether that’s now or sometime in the future...
I've heard about a movement about keeping cash alive. However, am I allowed to exchange or keep "foreign" cash in Australia despite it being worth more? For example, I hoard cash via the following currencies: USD, BBD, OMR, KWD, PLN, GBP, EUR & AED to name a few and most are higher value than Australian Dollar.
Coal Australia denies its donations to the ‘community-driven association’ amount to astroturfing, but critics accuse the group of misleading the public
More than 60% of battery system installation work inspected under a federal government green energy program is substandard and 1.2% unsafe, according to a recent report by the Clean Energy Regulator.
Whistleblowers exposing wrongdoing within the NDIS will now have stronger protections after Canberra passed laws to improve the reporting of unsafe or unlawful practices...
One of the few positives to come out of the Western Asia war. We needed this petrol shock to do what we should have been doing much earlier. It's great that the costs have gone down but lack of appropriate charges is still a problem.
...The relatively small difference between Victoria, where public transport was free, and NSW – where fares remained unchanged – suggests price is not the main constraint on mode shift. Access, travel time, service reliability and the ability to make specific trips appear to matter more.
It’s important to know these issues are entirely fixable. They just require real public transparency about what’s blocked and why, real enforcement of global technical standards, and testing and active oversight of the telecommunications sector as a whole. We have none of that currently and it shouldn’t require a consumer class action for this to change.
Have you recieved a summons (letter) either from your municpality or another in which you’re selected to be a juror (If so, what is the process like?). You show up to the courts and assigned a number along with being asked about occupation, status, etc. but is the probability even that high on becoming part of the 12 jurors? Also, is it considered a criminal offense for failing to appear?
Absolutely agree with bringing in better labelling and supporting local farmers. With the effects of the ME war just starting on food prices, our governments are going to have to have to find new ways to help not only farmers but consumers.
To corporates like this, cattle are just a commodity. There is so much callousness in the cattle industry and so much suffering by these sentient animals many think of as a steak on a plate.
Amanda Cooper lost the election. It was a very close contest, only 31 votes once preferences were distributed. But Bart Mellish did win. Google knows this, all the top results show Bart Mellish's official pages, social media, and news/encyclopaedia articles about him.
The humble footpath could be the answer to being more active, with new research showing regional Australians living in "walkable towns" travelled 75 minutes more on foot each week.
The US-Israeli war on Iran has triggered the worst energy crisis in modern history. Australia imports roughly 90% of its liquid fuel, and petrol prices have already jumped more than 50 cents a litre since the start of the war, with only 36 days of petrol supply remaining.
Holiday programs "can range from general programs on school sites – which might have sporting and craft activities for children as well as general play. It might also involve excursions to places such as zoos or adventure parks."
I've heard that it's around 420 AUD for an 10 year adult passport, like why? (Apparently, it's the third most expensive globally) To put it into perspective: most European nations will price it for either less or within 50-100 EUR making it affordable to travel. It used to be cheaper but for some reason there is a price hike to the point it's a rip off.
In these unstable times, whether you're religious or not, let these few days of Easter time bring you rest. Go out and enjoy the solace of the natural world.
United States President Donald Trump has slapped a 100 per cent tariff on some pharmaceutical drugs made outside the US, with Australian-made products facing the highest levy despite carve-outs for other countries.
For the last 3 years many children have been exposed to terrible scenes of destruction and suffering on TV and online and from the looks it isn't going to get better for some time. Talking with kids and answering their questions and making them feel safe is really helpful. There are quite a few sources of advice to choose from but this one is really clear imo.
I had not heard of this teacher training program. It is alarming but not surprising and we should become aware whether teachers at our children's schools are being used to inculcate the Zionist dogma.

In both physical & digital copies of video games: when I've visited an store, upon looking at the price tag (they range at 90 AUD or more for a copy, seriously?!) I've also browsed through their Steam store front which isn't any better, 110-30 AUD for a digital license?! When you consider regional pricing, they end up costing more than USD (depends, like a +20% increase which is insane to me). To put it into perspective, games are cheaper in my country than they are in Australia.
