We should not be subsidising fossil fuels.

And it's a whopper of a subsidy: The fuel+capital+operating cost of LNG (via BCG "Energy to Grow" report) is $44/GJ, half of that capital+O&M costs, if its for dry-year cover only. So paying the fixed costs with a levy HALVES the LNG price... 1/-

More than £10.5bn of UK pension savings are invested in thermal coal - the world’s dirtiest fossil fuel.

That’s bad for pension savers, the economy, and the climate.

Anybody arrested or charged protesting against war criminal & president of the terrorist state of Israel Herzog - my law firm will represent you pro-bono.
He is the president of a terrorist state committing a holocaust the same way Hitler did and our despicable PM honours and invites him to our country. Sickening and unforgivable. #IsraeliNazis #FreePalestine #auspol
This is the monster our PM Albo has seen fit to invite to Australia in February - Isaac Herzog, president of the terrorist state of israel. Here he is signing bombs about to be dropped on thousands of little children. #IsraeliNazis #PalestinianHolocaust #auspol
