So here’s the trick. In the day, close windows, draw curtains over glass, shut doors. When cooler at night open up house. Repeat as needed.
@abc730 @AntonyGreenABC Surely given the Abbott Turnbull Morrison fiasco - the Gillard govt is a shining light in hindsight..
@abc730 @abc730 “as needed” is the most slack medication practice in aged care . Overworked staff see “ as needed” as the quick fix to calm agitated elderly residents. #abc730.

‘The big difference between our biocontrol agent and the cane toad is they’re really specific to the agent that we’re targeting. So they only target scale insects, they’re not toxic’ - Tanya Detto, crab expert. #abc730.
‘By introducing the wasp, we hope to parasitise and kill off some of the scale insects so they’re down at lower numbers, which should control the number of ants’- Tanya Detto, crab expert. #abc730.
‘The ants kill the crabs. First they blind them, they spray the acid in their eyes … then it gets into their gills, into their joints, making it hard for them to walk. Then eventually they just succumb to the sheer numbers’ - Tanya Detto, crab expert. #abc730.
‘Our best estimates were that there were about 80 million crabs back [in the 80s and 90s]. Our last estimates was from about four years ago when there were about 40 million crabs’ - Tanya Detto, crab expert. #abc730.

This. There is no that killing great white #sharks reduce - WA Fisheries Minister @Davekellymp @abc730.
I’m sorry for his loss. But please let’s remember the more we continue to unsustainably fish and increase the ocean temp sharks will become more frequent ..
Please, can I have a sound reason as to how culling a population of around 8000 white #sharks is better for commercial fisheries?.
Great white #sharks can be pretty resilient to capture & it is only right that they have a fighting chance to survive. Like us, they mature in their late teens, live to around 70 yrs. One less great white is too many. #shark.

Interviewing someone who makes a living out of filleting sharks for flake about whether White Pointers should be culled was not persuasive #abc730. 🙄 You can do much better than that #wapol.
Australians produce about million tonnes of plastic waste each year. Just 12% is recycled. The rest is sent to landfill. #abc730.
