Of course all paid with the taxes of Australians as you allow the fossil-fuel industry to pay NOTHING towards the ever-increasing climate disasters caused by their emissions. You are even quite happy to contribute to the $15 Billion in fossil-fuel subsidies given away every year. #auspol

The US should not be allowed to make Australia complicit in nuclear war. 50 years ago Whitlam believed that and he was right.
It’s time to end AUKUS. Close Pine Gap.

$0.60/W installed rooftop solar in a week or two!
Today on Volts: you've probably heard that Australia has cheap rooftop solar power. You've probably also heard some rumors & myths about it. (Is it destabilizing the grid?) I called my favorite Australian energy expert to clear it all up. This is a fun one!
