I’m a bass playing, boat building grandad. I follow the ‘train-wreck’ that is AusPol with a macabre interest. Born, lived worked Bunurong all my life. Wish we had more than the last 200yrs of history folded into our culture.

National Party farmers moaning that power lines will turn their ‘tranquil farms’ into an industrial zone. These farms are already industrial zones! Not a tree left standing, chemicals & heavy machinery… Get out of the way! #AusPol

Any centrist uttering "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is an absolute guaranteed pre-emptive alarm they're about to do something extremely bad
When @australianlabor.bsky.social trots out a warning to The Greens "not to "make the perfect the enemy of the good"" you can absolutely bet they're going to offer up crud & join forces with LNP to deploy media beat up strategies against people who want to prevent rubbishing of EPBC laws
Labor offers Greens forestry deal in exchange for support on environment laws
The ABC has been told the federal government is willing to ensure native forestry complies with tougher new standards within three years if the Greens back the reforms.

The rest of Australia desperately needs Jess Wilson to succeed in Victoria
It's critical to taxpayers around the country that new Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson defeats Labor and dumps the disastrous Suburban Rail Loop project.

It’s kinda amusing: ‘progressive media’ has tried for years and failed. Now it’s the turn of the federal coalition … you can’t appease the right. You will never give them enough. They don’t want to make peace, they want to destroy you. They hate you.

Under Labor’s environmental reforms, project proponents don’t have to disclose scope 3 emissions, only scope 1 and 2 (see post 2/2 for definition). Why? Official’s avoided answering Senator David Pocock’s question on that🤷♂️. Looks like a job for #FOI. 1/2 #climate #auspol

The Australian Government for the past five years has been pushing weapons sales into the UAE at an astonishing scale. This is the result. Australia tying itself to more appalling war crimes, now in Sudan.

Scott Ludlam wrote a few things a few years back on “state capture” and it really sums up Australia’s craven giveaway of fossil fuel resources to foreign corps
Australia Institute research shows the gas industry pays ZERO royalties on more than half the gas exported from Australia.

A partial solution to our energy ‘curtailment’ issue would be to extend the battery rebate to homes without solar. This in conjunction with proposed 3hr free energy would soak up excess & allow households unable to install solar to join the renewable market instead of subsidising it. #AusPol
