Here's a map from @BOM_au. The areas shown in red are all the places where there's an 80% chance or higher of seeing above average maximum temperatures between October and December.
When will our #government come clean about the #crisis ahead for #Australia #security #environment and #society from #climatechange? Alarming that findings are so dire they can't be released. In parallel @AlboMP @AustralianLabor approve new coal mines.

'I have never seen being a woman as being a barrier to being a #CEO. I work in male dominant industries & it can be an advantage, I disarm them.' Well said Elizabeth ICI Cooks. Talking down old fashioned views. 'You go get it' ♀️ young #professionals #water @WaterPartnersAU
'I don't see any female CEOs. What do you plan to do about it?' Pohnpei #Utilities Corporation ♀️ Young Water Prof question to #CEO panel. @WaterPartnersAU

1/14. The ratio of females: males in Water and Wastewater Utility #CEO panel session. This doesn't represent womens' potential in #leadership, but more about #cultural norms, #unconscious bias, limited role modelling and a limited pipeline of potential leaders. #Pacific #SDG6
Heartening to see @dfat and @ADBWater commitment to assisting #Pacific #Water Ministers to assist ensuring #climate #resilient #WASH services
I say to the utility CEO to turn the taps off, and then all the other leaders will start to value water properly. Minister Infrastructure Palau @ADB_Pacific

The #private capture of #public funds institutionalises #inequality in the #Australian #school system. It's not a secret, but it's not questioned or debated enough. C'mon @AustLabourParty get it on the agenda.
