When are we just going to ignore the Liberals?

I was more concerned this morning by Tim Ayres saying on ABC Radio National that ‘gas is a transition fuel’. If the emissions are 80x worse for short term warming then that ain’t a transition fuel that’s an accelerator.

Climate denier: ‘Yeah but wind turbines use too much steel and they have a massive carbon footprint.’

Climate innovator: ‘Challenge accepted…how about mass timber columns that store carbon? Ta da!’

Mark Latham the bully with burning vendettas, misogyny, hatred and contempt ranting outside of a court should disqualify him from being anywhere near our lawmaking processes.

The ACT government’s early push to 100 pct renewables is looking like the smartest policy of all – with one wind farm paying consumers $50/MWh in the last quarter.

We have quite strict gun laws in Australia but the US NRA are very active here and trying to water down our laws. A few politicians are helping them there but the vast majority of Australians want stricter gun laws.

From all reports there are more guns in private residences now than before John Howard’s amnesty.

Guns sitting around houses are a problem waiting to happen don’t you think? I dare say yesterday’s shooting had something to do with that and either way we don’t want to be the USA.

Australia needs another gun amnesty.

A fascist takeover by a dictator.

The comments in this thread that don’t say something similar is why the US is in this mess. Wake up FFS! You are at war with a fascist administration.

An unstable US has detrimental effects on the world. The consequences are lost on insular ignorant Americans.

No chance. They will only ever do something if they or their investments are in trouble.

True and yes I see what you did there.

Pigeons have the most beautifully proportioned wings which I think adds to the spectacle of their gliding. The rest of their behaviour? Well.

We did. There were signs of his mental sickness back then though. His ultra aggressive handshake with John Howard was one.

Watching the Brutalist and I’m most thrilled to see the movie has an intermission.

I would love intermissions to make a return.

Mark Latham was removed from Royal Randwick restaurant by police today. Just another of his tirades with more threats of violence.

How many chances does Latham need? We need rules to bar him from NSW Parliament.

Sadly I don’t think we have seen anything yet. The more scandals they need to cover up the weirder it will be.

Elon or some other wacko full of bigotry is saying that Netflix is trying to turn kids into trans. They are all riled up and trying to destroy another business.

They did it to; air travel, tourism, to industry, vaccine producers, foreign trade, etc, it’s what the orange bankruptcy king does best.

With ultra conservatives trying to do a Bud Lite to Netflix the best outcome will be that it becomes more unlikely that brainless American ego stroking movies will be shown.

Conservatives love cancel culture.

Best to put the USA back on the shelf and get out the other games for a while.
