Been rather dispiriting how much ink has been spilled by the gallery on MP expenses, while the report into mutual obligations has been pretty much ignored. @amyremeikis.bsky.social is on it #ThePoint (what is The Point? It’s not news, but it SHOULD be)

The welfare system isn’t just on fire, it’s burning out of control
The problem with having pattern recognition is that you can always see the fires before they start. Governments are a bit like that, too.  It’s not that they don’t see the fire before the smoke, it’s...

The big reason electricity cost so much is gas. Gas is the most expensive form of electricity generation (aside from battery) and yet often determines the price.

Tax gas exports, raise $17bn, help compensate households and also fund the transition to zero emissions

Thanks Sarah, you do your thing & we’ll do ours by reminding everyone of this in marginal electorates like Tim Wilson’s at election time. #auspol

There's report that Australia's largest aluminum smelter might close because of energy prices. As I write, when you hear about high energy prices, you are talking about the impact of Australian gas exports. #ThePoint

Our federal government continues to prioritise the gas industry over regional towns that are being devastated by climate disasters.

Australia’s environmental laws need to stop the approval of new coal and gas projects.

The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens.

Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies.

This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.
I’m getting weary of this. This government is representative of what the people of this place want. The argument is with all of us. Turning it into a constant personalised political snipe belittles the nature of the problem.
Thanks to Murray and his ALP pals, weather reports like this will become increasingly scary and weird

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes.

When govts want to do something, they do it.
When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse.

No one here should fall for it

Our healthcare system is strained with packed waiting rooms, patients waiting in pain for years, and delayed appointments due to cost. But a solution exists.

A 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17 billion a year, funding that could help our healthcare system.
