You were told it's competition.

Four companies control more than 80% of what Australia eats, and two of them hold about two thirds on their own. Go somewhere else assumes there's a somewhere else, and they've spent years making sure there isn't: Woolworths has held around 110 undeveloped sites, Coles 42, and Kaufland abandoned its Australian plans in 2020 partly because there was nowhere left to build.

Then the discounts. In 2024 the ACCC took both chains to court, alleging illusory savings: prices lifted, then dropped back for the sticker. The ACCC's final report found our supermarkets are among the most profitable on earth. A cherry grower sent a semi-trailer expecting $90,000 and got $5,800.

A quarter of the continent is now protected.

On 14 July the Pmere Atherre Antenterreme Indigenous Protected Area was dedicated in the Simpson Desert, adding more than 4.7 million hectares and pushing Australia past 196 million hectares of protected land. The name means working together to look after two areas of Country.

Around 900 animal and plant species live there, including the greater bilby and the night parrot. And the management is the part that matters: local Aboriginal people run it, with cultural fire, water places, feral control, restoration and songline mapping. Indigenous Protected Areas are now more than half of Australia's protected estate.

Yesterday's post named the loss. This is what the repair looks like.

Australia leads the world in mammal extinction. More than 100 endemic species listed extinct or extinct in the wild since colonisation.

The numbat under 1,000 animals. Koalas down about 30% in three generations. And in 2019 the Bramble Cay melomys, a rodent on one Torres Strait island, became what's believed to be the first mammal extinction directly attributable to human-caused climate change.

Ours. Globally, wildlife populations are down 69% since 1970 and only 3% of land is still ecologically intact. The part that should make you angrier: we already know what works. Indigenous peoples protect about 80% of the world's remaining biodiversity, and Australian ranger programmes are among the most effective conservation on the continent.

This is a funding decision.

Slide 6 is the move, and tomorrow's post is what the fix looks like.

The mines that hollowed out Gateshead now heat it.

Flooded coal workings 150 metres down sit at a steady 15 degrees all year, so in 2023 the council put a six-megawatt heat pump on them and ran five kilometres of pipe to 350 homes, a college and an art gallery.

The UK government puts the saving at 72,000 tonnes of CO2 over 40 years. A local w**e warehouse on the same system cut its carbon 80%. A bloke who's lived there 52 years pays £100 a month and is £600 in credit. It isn't frictionless: of twelve boreholes, four worked, and residents were told almost nothing about what was being built under them.

Britain has 23,000 abandoned deep mines. Australia has the Hunter and the Latrobe.

Nobody checks the label.

That's the racket. Four Corners commissioned eight months of forensic testing across 900 samples and 221 processed tomato products, and 22% failed country-of-origin testing. Of 33 Leggo's paste products, 27 came back matching Chinese tomatoes.

Turmeric turned up adulterated with iron oxide, effectively crushed rock, and three products carried lead chromate, a paint pigment. The ACCC opened an investigation on 7 August. Simplot rejects the findings and points to its paperwork, and it hasn't run forensic tests of its own.

That's the whole story: one side tested the food, the other read the documents.

Australia does not routinely check for food fraud.

A Spanish village hired cows to fight the fire, and so far it's working.

Galicia burned through about 118,000 hectares in 2025. The parish of Vincios, which lost 80% of its forest in 2017, put native Cachena cattle, goats and sheep back on its 678 hectares of communal land and let them eat the fuel.

Three years, no serious fire. The evidence backs it: grazing stripped 33% of flammable vegetation in a Sardinian study and cut burn probability 45% in California. The real story is who did it.

A collective of 140 residents who own the hill together, on land held in common.

Your council meets in the dark now.

More than 150 local and regional newsrooms have shut in Australia since 2019, and the rounds they covered, council, court, water, planning, are covered by nobody. What filled the gap is national outrage, because fury rates and a planning agenda doesn't.

We can all name what a politician said 10,000km away. Almost none of us can name who voted for the rezoning behind our house.

That's an ownership structure doing exactly what it's built to do: News Corp runs about 70% of newspaper circulation here.

Slide 6 is the move, and it takes about ten minutes.

You were told it's free. You're the inventory.

These are advertising companies, and the product they sell is the certainty your eyes will be back tomorrow, which is why infinite scroll has no bottom and autoplay starts before you decide.

Then Australia set a minimum age of 16 and platforms restricted about 4.7 million under-16 accounts within weeks.

Meta alone removed over 750,000 by the end of June. They always knew how old you were. They'd just never had a reason to look.

Slides 7 to 9 are the moves.

1986. The world agreed to stop commercial whaling and plenty of people said it was naive, unenforceable and too late.

Blue whales were down to a few hundred. Forty years on, a University of Cape Town study finds that 95% of all recorded sightings of Antarctic blue and fin whales off southern Africa have happened since 2012.

Off north-east England, bluefin tuna are back after around sixty years away.

Recovery runs slower than an election term.

That's the only reason we get told it doesn't work.

They knew in 1977. Exxon's own scientists modelled the warming and got it almost exactly right.

Shell knew by 1988, questioned the science in public, and quietly raised the height of its oil platforms for the seas its own research predicted.

Then BP handed us the carbon footprint, and a hundred companies responsible for 71% of industrial emissions got to watch us argue about showers for twenty years.

Australia exports more fossil fuel than almost anyone and ranks last of 64 countries on climate policy in this year's index.

Slide 6 is the move, and it costs nothing.
