Just so we’re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation.
And Watt is already admitting it won’t have a climate trigger …

Watt nears deal with Coalition to finally overhaul environment laws

Environment Minister Murray Watt will sit down with his Liberal counterpart Angie Bell today, with quiet optimism in both parties that a deal might soon be struck to finally rewrite Australia's "broke...

Scale.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Scale. On one side of scale, weighing heavily, a small gold weight marked “OCT 7 2023”. On the other side, much lighter, a huge bag (of sand?) marked “EVERY DAY SINCE.”

One of the Austs on the flotilla who was taken illegally & held by the Israel Govt - says the Aust Govt did not really support them. They were among the last to be released - & their release & deportation to Jordan was facilitated by other Govts.

What a betrayal 😞😡 #auspol

"Spain’s rapid renewables build-out means its power prices were set by fossil generation just 19% of the time, down from 75% in 2019. As a result, wholesale electricity was almost a third cheaper than the EU average"

Imagine having cheaper power

Spain’s Renewable-Energy Boom Loosens Gas’s Grip on Power Prices

Soaring renewables output in Spain is weakening gas’s grip on electricity prices, setting the country apart from much of Europe where fossil fuels still dictate the cost of power.

The Attorney General's Department got 21 FOI requests about their FOI reforms - and they asked to do late replies for all of them and were rejected each time by the Information Commission. Talk about a broken system and they're trying to make it harder and more expensive!

ABC now running completely untrue propaganda for America and Israel. The bombing hasn’t stopped and it has been widely reported that Netanyahu said to his own people they wouldn’t stop pretty much as soon as trump asked him to.

ABC News (Australia) headline: For the first time since the conflict in Gaza began nearly two years ago, an American president told Israel to stop — and it did.

💯 facts, that's how fucked this really is and always has been

Candy Apple Grey @colourmepink.bsky.social · 5d

So the National Press Club - an association of journalists - doesn't wanna talk about all the journalists being deliberately targeted and murdered during a genocide because . . . it might upset the people that are targeting and murdering the journalists who were reporting on a genocide?

Umm, WTF?

New government data confirms gas exporters continue to pay no tax

My latest article in The Shot

"The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club"

There's not a single Australian @albomp.bsky.social would protect from Israel, is there? Nothing about Zomi. Nothing at all about the flotilla, or the doctors serving in Gaza. Just gravely concerned inc. and some mumbly centrist trite about a two state solution. This should terrify us all
