It is nice to be back home on the mountain

Well this sucks

Today I joined over 120 other Australian #Fulbright scholars asking Australians to #VoteYes to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in our constitution as the First Australians and commit to a voice, so they can give advice on laws and matters that affect them

This is why I love living on the mountain. My neighbour very kindly gave up his Saturday to help/teach me how to put a new clutch in my tractor. Then we we realised there was a third bearing (was only 2 on the parts list) he then offered to bale the hay for us.

Fascinating presentation by Dr Damber Bista on the effect of habitat disturbance on Red Pandas and the trade offs they make to co-exist with humans for todays Centre for Sustainable Agricultural Systems research seminar. ILSE

This meme has been doing the rounds. It sums up the function of the Voice nicely. There is a lot of misinformation coming from NO advocates. Fact checks are advisable. 80% of indigenous people want it. Mundine and Price are in the minority camp.

Was great to meet with a delegation from Northwest A&F university to discuss opportunities for teaching and research collaborations in agricultural resource management. John Dearnaley UniSQ_SoAES
