The Government's changes to our environment laws fail to address the biggest threat to our environment - climate change caused by fossil fuels.

Another thing: if we've only managed to cut real emissions by 4% since 2005, how do you think we're getting the rest of the way to 62-70% by 2035 with the same weak policies?
The land-use accounting tricks that got us to -28% aren't yielding any more.
Just to cut through the backslapping: the very small emissions reduction (2%) is nowhere near enough even for our own local targets. These are also the easiest cuts (ie from local pwr generation bc we are buying solar panels) and are only in one sector.
Exported emissions are 4x bigger and growing.

Tell the PM he’s dreaming if he thinks the issue of banning gambling ads is going to go away in the new year. The Parliament can no longer ignore the devastating impacts of gambling on Australians. The pressure for reform will only increase #auspol #politas

The amended environmental laws are not perfect, but there is at least some more protection for the environment. Laws should never remain stagnant, so I will continue to push for improvements that prioritise the environment over vested interests. #auspol #politas

Peter Swenson, a Yale professor and one of about 20 million Americans with long COVID, says calling chronic illness a “journey” needs to stop. He feels “pinned down by it, stuck with it,” calling it a “bad trip” with fatigue, brain fog, dysautonomia and heart problems.

No problem with the idea that Australian millennials are moving left.

But the survey designers need to reconsider their methodology.
Using support for the major parties as the baseline may be misleading, when both Labor and LNP have been steadily moving right. #auspol

Millennials are the first generation to move left as they age
Millennials are bucking trends, becoming an increasingly progressive voting bloc and rewriting the long-held rules of politics, writes Isabella Higgins.

#AUKUS is a toxic deal, and the more the Australian public sees of it, the more they oppose it. Labor has responded to this challenge by leaning into secrecy and keeping as much as possible from the public.”

This closed shop committee won't provide any "scrutiny".
It's a rubber stamp. #auspol

Of course not. They couldn't afford to have a Senator David on the panel. Too many holes for light to shine through. Personally I'd prefer a Pocock bomb thrown in there. Then perhaps a Shoebridge to clear out the debris. #Auspol

People who recovered from mild–moderate COVID-19 still show persistent lung and vascular inflammation. This ongoing inflammatory response suggests COVID can have systemic, long-term effects that may raise cardiovascular (CV) risk even after symptoms improve.
