A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/1p7BS3CMXdu9

Aquarius is the festival that first brought the dreamers, tree-huggers and activists to Nimbin and Byron Bay. A new documentary celebrates the radical dreamers, hippies and tree-huggers who started it all.

A reminder that tomorrow evening at 7.30 PM the "Countdown ...50 Years On" special is on the good ol' ABC. Thought I'd pop up a couple of the photos I took at Countdown for you all to enjoy.

Vale Ken Shorter, Australian actor who worked across stage + screen since the 1960s. Known for roles in iconic film + TV productions including You Can't See 'Round Corners (1967/69) and Stone (1974) plus guest roles in everything from Play School to Number 96. Lovely bloke
