All of us, including scientists, CAN be part of spiritual and cultural transformation. There are forces that seek to block the transformation so we must consciously become aware of this and commit ourselves to forging ahead through our own understanding, self-work and action for nature, the young, and for sanity.

Totally agree.
You can send in a submission (closes this Friday) , created by Solar Citizens, an independent, community-based organisation to object to the Australian Energy Market Commission’s proposed rule change to increase fixed charges. This is what they say:
"Here’s what we know: Independent modelling of this proposed rule change would see electricity bills for households with 8kW of solar and a 20kWh battery increase by roughly $400–$700 every year under the AEMC’s proposal. [1]
Higher fixed network charges would wipe out a significant share of the savings solar owners have spent thousands of dollars to achieve — and will stretch out solar and battery payback periods, cutting the return on these investments. 💸
This is not what you signed up for, and it’s unfair to introduce these changes now.
Plus, by wrecking the return on investment, it sends a clear message to the households thinking about installing solar and batteries: 'you can't trust big energy to cut your lunch, so don't bother'."

If they want to introduce this in the near future it's madness! We'll be going backwards in reducing emissions (even more than we are now) and punishing low and middle-income households. This sounds like corporatist thinking at its worst.
I see what you mean. When I copied i I thought I was copying the poster which was a PDF. I don't know what happened. Try this now: https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/712af739-5cbf-4b55-b1d0-c9a4a34362d1.png
I'm a retired school teacher (amongst other work experience) so I can't help myself 😆 Alongside of that I believe that it's really important to encourage children to become curious, surprised and awed by what this continent gifts us and which many adults seem to be adamant in destroying.
Thank you for the feedback 🙂 . If you want me to source the occasional resource that your children can use for projects I can do that too.
Yup, that's right. I didn't want to put anything too graphic here in case it is used by children.
