Apparently wombats in fire effected areas are not only allowing other animals to take shelter in their deep, fire-resistant burrows but are actively herding fleeing animals into them. We’re seeing more leadership and empathy from these guys than the entire Federal government.

When the High Court overturned George Pell's conviction it went out of its way to state that the witness's testimony in Pell's case was truthful. In other words, the highest court in Australia agreed that Pell raped at least two children. Let's stop ignoring that fact.
