Animal rescuers say that the tiny, native mammals might be found taking refuge on screen doors, inside umbrellas, jacket pockets or anywhere they can hide away.
Animal rescuers in far west New South Wales are urging locals to keep their eyes peeled for microbats in need of help on the back of unusual weather fluctuations.Rescuers have seen increased call-outs to microbats in Broken Hill on the back of weather fluctuationsAt least six different species of microbat have been recorded by rescuers
Local Broken Hill wildlife rescue group Rescue and Rehabilitation of Australian Native Animals have seen an increase in call-outs to bats in need of help. Rescuer Lindy Hunt says sudden drops in temperature can send the animals into torpor, leaving them unable to fly home. "When it's warm one day, then cooler overnight, they get caught out away from their roost and go into what we call a torpor," she said."They might just look like a little mouse."Ms Hunt said in the event of discovering a bat, it was best not to handle them as they sometimes carry disease.
"Just call RRANA immediately. We have immunised carers who can come and take care of them, and they are generally released the same day."She said the most important thing was keeping predators away from the bat while it was in a vulnerable state.

'If the Voice and Indigenous recognition in the Constitution are so deeply important to the Prime Minister, then surely he needs to do everything in his power to find a model that all Australians can agree on,' she said. 'If Albanese doesn't want a hurtful and humiliating defeat at the referendum, he needs to sit down with the Coalition, sit down with the fiercest Voice critics and find a model that's acceptable to all Australians and that both sides of politics can support. 'Because a crushing defeat at a referendum would alienate and isolate Indigenous Australians, achieving the opposite outcome of what Albanese wants.'

Australians want to see politics ‘done differently’Independent MP Kylea Tink says neither of the major parties are winning the “clear majority of votes” anymore. “I think what we’ve seen, which is consistent to the federal election, is that neither of the major parties are winning the clear majority of votes anymore,” Ms Tink told Sky News Australia. “I think that sends a very clear message across our country that people are wanting to see politics done differently – they want to ensure their voice is being heard in that house. “Hopefully, what that’s doing is inspiring governments to actually act with courage and optimism to move our economy and our society forward.”
