#JenniferHewitt, is back to her key talking point on *how* is the #ALP govt is going to get to #NetZero (clearly still has not read the #ISP) & the excellent #MarkKenny comments that if we still had a #carbonPrice, if the #LNP had not trashed it, we would be a lot closer than we are now! #Insiders

Appeasing Putin is insane!

If Europe lets Ukraine die a slow death, then Putin will be on Europe’s doorstep chipping away at their freedoms. He will take the Baltics next!

Europe must step into the fray now to fortify Ukraine and themselves before it’s too late!

Moody’s had no option but to downgrade Tassie’s credit rating to the worst of any state. To say the Government and Opposition are fiscally illiterate is being kind, as they couldn’t even be trusted to manage the cash for a chook raffle. #auspol #politas

I hope it's ok to add. That when fools, get their videos of catastrophic weather posted on AU's public broadcaster, where they are seemingly "happy-amazed", saying stuff like "no way that's crazy" etc, then FFS, it's bloody obvious that the world, and all of us, are not in a good place. 💔 🌏 🌱 ♻️

Today a lil' garden path work, more later. Then we went to AU's only hardware shop to get a black genoa fig. I know! But hey, they killed all the local nurseries!

Imagine that ... on looking at the photos of the event, I could see the scientists talking to 2 #CommunityIndependents and 1 #Green MP. Strangely, no #Liberals or #Notionals - does that indicate something ? #AusPol
Our scientists talked with Parliamentarians and staffers about how Antarctica is changing, and how these changes are affecting Australia’s weather, coastlines, fisheries, climate stability and regional security.

The Greens have secured an inquiry to find out why job & program cuts are being rolled out across the CSIRO! It will consider the impacts of the funding cuts, the importance of public funding for science & CSIRO’s future funding & resourcing needs.

Research from Energy Consumers Australia shows that 1 in 3 households using mains gas expect to cancel their supply within the next decade & nearly 1 in 10 say they will do that in just the next two years. That’s a major shift in a short amount of time. reneweconomy.com.au/we-need-a-re...

Korean-owned coal mines were stopped in NSW by local groups.

Korea is now phasing out coal.

This is why stopping coal and gas projects in Australia is so important! IT WORKS!!

Labor has backflipped on its 2022 election promise to rebuild the public sector with its intentions to slash 5% of spending off the public service. If Labor wants to tighten the public purse then rein in overspending on consultancy firms instead of cutting the public service.

Millions wasted by Labor on outsourcing core govt work to consultants for rubbish results. The BoM website & Deloitte’s AI bungle are a joke. Where is value for taxpayer money? Instead Labor could invest in strengthening our public service or keeping CSIRO scientists employed.
