Brooke Martin+FollowWhy Are Aussie Home Batteries So Huge?Quick coffee break scoop: Australia’s big push for cheaper home batteries is running into a weird snag—people are getting batteries way bigger than they need, and it’s making the program way more expensive than planned. Imagine buying a fridge for a family of 10 when you live alone! If you’re thinking about solar, don’t get swept up by size—right-sizing your battery could save you (and taxpayers) a bundle. #Business #Industry #Australia00Share
Matthew Stevens+FollowHumans & Hobbits Down Under?!Turns out, modern humans made it to Australia a whopping 60,000 years ago—way earlier than some thought! And get this: DNA evidence suggests they might’ve even mingled with ancient ‘hobbit’ humans along the way. Two different groups took separate routes from Asia, showing off some serious seafaring skills. Aboriginal Australians have the oldest unbroken ancestry outside Africa. Wild, right? #History #Australia #AncientHistory00Share
Darius Alvarez+FollowTeens Take On Australia’s Social Media BanAustralia just banned social media for everyone under 16, and two 15-year-olds are fighting back in court! They say the law is “unconstitutional” and silences young voices instead of protecting them. One family is even moving to the UK to dodge the ban. The government says it’s about safety, but critics argue it hurts vulnerable teens most. Shouldn’t we be teaching digital smarts instead of pulling the plug? #Relationships #SocialMediaBan #Australia10Share
