"Which is why it’s past time for the government to put a stop to new developments, to “face down” the industry and dare it to campaign against them.

That would require a degree of courage that we have not seen to date."
– Mike Seccombe

Labor’s slate for fossil fuel approvals
The Albanese government has already approved 31 fossil fuel projects, and more than that are waiting, even as renewables overtake coal as the top source of electricity.

The idea that Palestinians are ever going to be free from Israeli oppression is utterly delusional.

The evil has been fomenting and festering for generations.

If you can pronounce 'care', you're nearly there.

Add a very slight Aussie nasal twang and you're sorted.

But even some locals call it Cans.

The list of atrocious decisions logged are classic Atlas partner efforts to take from the public to fatten the mega rich’s (offshore) bank accounts.

The soapy water method makes it pretty easy to apply window film.

Squirty bottle filled with water and a little dishwashing liquid.

Spray the (cleaned) glass, apply the film.

The liquid let's you slide the film around until it's correctly in place.

Then squeegee from the centre outwards.

The gambling industry is predatory and insidious.

I quit the Parliamentary Sports Club a few weeks ago, when I discovered it had registered as a lobbyist group and was sponsored by the gambling peak body.

The industry will do anything to wield influence on pollies, and hates being called out.

It falls on the Palestinians to rebuild their city that was levelled by Israelis?

What an appalling statement.

How can you not feel shame for this bloody-minded gaslighting?

See how Israel gets to have ‘families’ and Gazans get to be generically referred to as ‘people’.

It’s little digs like this that are designed to tell you where to position your sympathy.

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.
