I’m in such a state this morning that I yelled out the window at a tradie who was about to park me in, as well as the car behind (which he hit softly when parking and I let him know I’d seen). So he yelled back “F you” and then moved his car. Nice guy. 🙄

You know what's exempt from Labor's enviro laws?
AUKUS.
Apparently the US alliance controls even this. The damage cause by a nuclear waste dump can literally be written off if the Environment Minister wants to.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?
