This is disgusting antisemitic language from the Australian PM - Herzog is the head of state of a genocidal regime, not the head of state of all Jews.
We are not Israel, and the only people who win when Jews and Israel are conflated are antisemites and Zionists.

Why not spend $2.7b on solar & batteries instead?
Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity

pretty wild that there's been a massive pro-genocide violent crackdown by the government & police on free speech & protest rights in Aus & there's been barely, if ANY, coverage of it by mainstream NZ outlets

Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

About 45% of gas produced in this country goes to Methanex, the Canadian multinational. Fonterra is another significant gas user. Just in case you are wondering who stands to benefit most from the planned LNG plant which is to be paid for by me, thee and every other individual user of power.

my mom had to explain things like the Holocaust and inflation to me very young because I read a lot. I had to talk to a toddler I nannied about Santa not being able to bring their dead parent back. Gay is easy. Gay is cake.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

I don’t think there’s such a thing as “one off rape”.
If you’re willing to rape, you’ve likely done it more than once.
You’ve just not been caught the other times.

We could reduce industrial gas use by 10-20 PJ a year for a one-off cost of $200 million. Spend more on bringing forward planned wind, solar and battery projects and we can almost wipe out the 30PJ used for electricity. Force the exit of Methanex and Kapuni, and problem largely solved.

Historically a defining feature of the fossil fuel industry is that it only survives with govt support and subsidies. We're seeing that with the ordinary NZers paying for the LNG import facility thru an electricity levy, and decommissioning costs of old oil fields www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...
