Goondi bloke Wal Taylor made a donation to the RFDS of a fully kitted out King air on behalf of his old school mates. Wally is a very humble knock around bloke you see at the footy and has done a lot for our district. He’s not a skite so I thought I’d better on his behalf

This is very simple concept that seems to be ignored by one side of the water debate
27 Feb 2024
Farmers' water access is adjusted every year for the weather conditions. When a drought is coming, water allocations can drop to nothing so rivers keep flowing, leaving farmers to sit out the season.

Utter lack of leadership from Govt. Stand up for producers & cut the shit. Increasing cost of living & hurting those that look after the environment you seek to protect. Get real @AlboMP @MurrayWatt @NationalFarmers @Barnaby_Joyce @D_LittleproudMP #ausag #agchatoz RT appreciated

Did you catch cotton's #circularity project on @10NewsFirst this week?
This innovative #cottonresearch project is returning shredded natural fibres to cotton farms - a step towards finding a scalable solution to the massive global problem of #textilewaste.

@tanya_plibersek if the Gov't don't believe there is any economic harm for communities from buy backs or returning Over Recovered water as a result of excessive buy backs (Macq Valley), then why did you need to remove the socio economic tests from the legislation? @DavidPocock

A win for the “upper Murrumbidgee” at huge cost and loss for the remainder of the Murray-Darling Basin. Complementary methods ok for that part by has allowed buybacks for the rest #hypocrisy

Huge win for the incredible Murrumbidgee River today! Thanks to the Ngunnawal who’ve been caring for the river for thousands of years and the many people who’ve been advocating for better flows and care of the river for decades ❤️

Deserves another tweet. Public service announcement if your Anaphylactic.
9 Apr 2022
For anyone that’s anaphylactic and finds themselves in trouble in a remote area with an #Epipen there is a way to get additional shots out if needed. I had to use 2 on myself on Wed. We cut one open after recovering. I had seen this video a few weeks prior youtu.be/sbpmYuixMAg

Northern NSW was in flood last year. The Darling was running a banker. Had been for 3 years.
23 Nov 2023
THE RIVER CAN’T OWE YOU LAST YEARS WATER, WHEN IT DIDN’T HAVE ANY ITSELF!
It’s sad how some irrigators view our most precious resource…
Water doesn’t work like that, some years it’s there and others it’s not.

You can virtue signal all you like, but it won't save you from the Aboriginal youth violence in Alice Springs.
The reality needs to be acknowledged before it can be fixed.
