Assistance for Queensland's disaster-impacted primary producers up to $75,000 support

Image
Queensland Floods Photo YouTube Primary producers across Queensland hit by recent floods and cyclones can now access Extraordinary Disaster Assistance Grants of up to $75,000 to support their recovery journey. Assistance is being provided through Category D of the jointly-funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA). Federal Minister for Emergency Management David Littleproud said the grants are in addition to the freight subsidies and concessional loans already available to disaster-impacted primary producers in Goondiwindi, Cairns, Cassowary Coast, Hinchinbrook, Mareeba and Tablelands local government areas. “The floods in Southern Queensland in late March hit farmers hard when they were already vulnerable following several years of drought,” Minister Littleproud said. “Many of these farmers were looking forward to their first year of good crops, and now they face the loss of income from destroyed crops and reduced yields. “Other primary producers in the r...

Grilling down on the Left's "beef" with cattle ranchers

Image
Cows  Image by  ❤️A life without animals is not worth living❤️  from  Pixabay   America’s farmers and ranchers are under attack. While they tirelessly work to provide food for millions, the Green Left has demonized them as so-called “Destroyers of the Earth.” The EPA, DOI, and UN repeatedly identify meat producers as devourers of wildlife habitat in an attempt to punish them through regulation. And Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has even raised alarm over excessive cattle farts she believes are contributing to a climate apocalypse. Yet the narrative that the Left is trying to spin is not the real story. In actuality, cattle ranchers and farmers play an important role in both protecting the environment and feeding the world. CFACT’s Gabriella Hoffman showcases this real story behind cattle ranching and farming in her latest episode of the Conservation Nation series, titled “Cows Keep Florida Green.” YouTube Cows Keep FL Green!

Image
Joe Biden   JOE BIDEN:  Thank you, Madam Vice President.   Good morning to all of our colleagues around the world — the world leaders who are taking part in this summit.  I thank you.  You know, your leadership on this issue is a statement to the people of your nation and to the people of every nation, especially our young people, that we’re ready to meet this moment.  And meeting this moment is about more than preserving our planet; it’s also about providing a better future for all of us.  White House YouTube, Biden's Speech at 3 Minutes 25 Seconds That’s why, when people talk about climate, I think jobs.  Within our climate response lies an extraordinary engine of job creation and economic opportunity ready to be fired up.  That’s why I’ve proposed a huge investment in American infrastructure and American innovation to tap the economic opportunity that climate change presents our workers and our communities, especially those too often that ...

Andrews Labor Boost For Victorian Researchers In COVID Fight

Image
The Andrews Labor Government is increasing funding for a study into the effects of coronavirus, and backing ground-breaking research into new and emerging strains, long-term coronavirus symptoms and potential links between the disease and unborn children. The work will build on the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute’s (MCRI’s) research into the effects of the virus on every major human organ, which has already deepened our understanding of coronavirus’ impacts on the heart. The dedicated group of scientists will investigate cellular mechanisms leading to lingering “long COVID” issues such as fatigue, cognitive difficulties and ongoing breathing problems. The funding will also allow researchers to get greater insight into the effects of coronavirus on the placenta and potential transfer of the virus to the fetus. Additionally, scientists will analyse variants from the UK, India and Brazil to understand the impact of more infectious strains. This is the first time research of this kin...

Palaszczuk, Queensland leaders to scope Biden Climate summit

Image
The Palaszczuk Government will task leaders in industry, innovation and the environment to explore new opportunities out of US President Joe Biden’s upcoming climate summit. Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said she would request her climate advisory council to look at the outcomes of the summit of 40 global leaders. “Queensland has become a leader when it comes to supporting zero emissions technology, the jobs of the future and protecting the environment,” Ms Scanlon said. “It’s this government that set a target of net-zero emissions by 2050 and a 50 per cent renewables target by 2030. “It’s under this government that places like Gladstone and Townsville are becoming hubs of hydrogen. “We’ve built the world’s longest collection of electric vehicle chargers and we’ve committed to new buses on our network being zero emission buses from 2025. “We established the $500 million Land Restoration Fund with 18 projects already underway, and Queensland now boasts 44 large-scale renewable en...

Wind Farm Image by  Ben Kerckx  from  Pixabay   Two wind farms and up to 400 jobs in the Southern Downs are a step closer to reality with the State Assessment and Referral Agency giving the green light. Deputy Premier and Planning Minister Steven Miles said Acciona received approval to build the $1.96 billion MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct (the Precinct) at Cement Mills, approximately 40 kilometres south-west of Warwick. “Soon there will be 180 wind turbines in the Darling Downs South West region propelling up to 1026 megawatts of energy into Queensland’s electricity network,” Mr Miles said. “Once operational the MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to supply about 700,000 Queensland homes. “The MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct is set to provide up to 400 local jobs during construction, with an additional 240 jobs for the construction of the 64km transmission line, and 14 full time jobs once in operation. “Acciona also expe...

A Tiny Number of People Will Be Hospitalized Despite Being Vaccinated. We Have to Learn Why.

Image
Nurse with Vaccine Injection Image by  fernando zhiminaicela  from  Pixabay     by Caroline Chen Dr. Carey Washington was eager to be vaccinated. The psychologist, who was still working at 80 years old, got his first coronavirus shot on Jan. 12 and followed up with the second Pfizer dose on Feb. 4. With both shots done, he let his guard down at the office he shared with another doctor, sometimes leaving his mask off. Then he woke up on March 7 with aches and fatigue, feeling as though he might have a cold. When he started experiencing chest pain and finding it hard to breathe, he booked an appointment with his primary care physician, who sent him on to his cardiologist. Both thought that his symptoms must be related to his past heart issues. But Washington’s symptoms got worse. He was so tired he could barely get out of bed. His cardiologist reassured him that the fatigue was likely due to the irregular heartbeat he was experiencing, and that the medications pre...
