Why isn't water more central to the nuclear discussion for a dry continent like Australia?
#auspol
‘Nuclear power stations require 20-25% *more* cooling water than coal-fired stations, a critical issue given the stressed Latrobe River catchment,’ writes Philip Hopkin’s in LV Express

I'm still unsure exactly where I stand in Iran. The largest intelligence apparatus in the world claims they were unable uncovered evidence if a nuclear program. But why did Iran build nuclear facilities in some(what seems to be) questionable locations? #auspol

Tax reform and productivity - the debates Australian politics needs to have right now. These need air time. These must be the priority - but it is a decision each of us must make. Focus now, or continue to see our standard of living drop. #auspol

Trump and Zelensky apparently strike a deal? Does this mean Trump is happy to work with the guy he did call a dictator and not happy to support the one he won't? #uspol #auspol

It has been visible for years that Trump was cosying up to Putin. Unfortunately, it is the Ukrainian people who continue to pay the price.
Trump is teaming up with Putin to give him what he wants because he believes Putins war is justified. Make no mistake. #uspol #auspol

This election vote for housing affordability(where it is scarcely available).
- increase supply
- Scrap CGT and Negative Gearing
- get immigration under a bit better control
- DO NOT provide first home buyers grants, super for a deposit or shared equity schemes.

Looking forward to celebrating Australia Day on March 3rd. The date Australia gained its independence. I'll be having a BBQ on the roof of my apartment building. Feel free to join in from wherever you want. #Australiaday #Australiadaytoo #hot100 #luckycountry #auspol

After another bad experience with QANTAS, I'm wondering how much lobbying is required to enhance their levels of customer service?
On this trip, I've flown with Cathay, Vietnam Airlines, Singapore Airlines and QANTAS. The back end customer service of QANTAS is the worst by a long way #auspol

How many billionaires or senators do you have the ability to have lunch with in a foreign country? None? Pauline isn't working for you, she's a grifter and a fraud who only entertains her own ambitions. 30 years in politics, what legislation has she introduced? #auspol #qldpol

There's a forgotten history that should serve as a warning — wildfire isn’t unique to the West. Now the warming climate is increasing the risk of major wildfires across America. And more people are moving to fire-prone areas without realizing the danger.

We were warned fire seasons would begin to overlap. Thus stretching resources beyond capability across the globe. In case someone says the California wildfires are are a result of DEI or protecting fish. #auspol

Just a reminder in the wake of meta's 'free speech' advocacy and removal of fact checkers; free speech is a hallucination in a world with algorithms.

The technocrats are a new pole of power that transcends the power of the nation-state. Foreign billionaires will influence your election. #auspol

Anthony Albanese has called for fixed four year terms. Makes sense to me.
If you agree, RT.

Cabinet documents from the Howard era have been released and when it comes to housing affordability, shocking no one, the recommendations were the same then as they are now.
While some people allow themselves to be outraged by Welcome to Countries, futures are being fucked. #auspol #culturewars

The Australian Government spent a total of $550million to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the First World War.

Spending $450,000 to celebrate 60,000 years of history is not a big price to pay.

1/ A Welcome to Country and an Acknowledgement of Country are about sharing and valuing culture. We can all acknowledge Country. We can all acknowledge our role. Our connection to this land.
We are in an era of shared custodianship. Acknowledging the traditional custodians and non-indigenous

There is no doubt in my mind that Woolworths Australia Day merch on/off again provides them with a convenient cover for larger systemic issues. That being said, if someone capitulates to the mob to sell a specific product - is that answering consumer demand or virtue signalling? #auspol
