The Australian Government says Australia is part of the Pacific 'family.'
But at the recent Pacific Islands Forum, local journalists were shut out of the Australian PM's press conference.
You don't treat family like that. #auspol

Today, the ABC reports that a top statistician quit a study into whether Woodside’s North West Shelf gas plant was destroying the Murujuga rock art after the WA govt misrepresented his team’s key finding.

Proposed changes to Australia’s FOI laws would make a repeat of the disastrous Robodebt coverup more likely, rather than less, our new research shows.
The PM described Robodebt as a “gross betrayal and human tragedy”, yet his government plans to make cabinet documents harder to access. #auspol

The Black Summer bushfires cost Australians over $50 billion.
As we enter another high-risk bushfire season, we shouldn't wait for the next disaster to act.
The Government could put a climate disaster levy on gas & coal exports to help pay for the damage.

Ed Husic, Labor MP, made some great points on Afternoon Briefing yesterday.
"The reason why prices are so high is because we export a phenomenal amount of gas."
We can remedy supply constraints without opening new gas projects by diverting uncontracted gas to the domestic market.

Fun fact: Bluesky is outperforming Twitter on conversions for my Kickstarter by 900%.
Despite it having the most followers of any platform for me, Twitter is converting at lower numbers than EVERY OTHER social media platform I'm using (Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky).

When the US Attorney wouldn’t do it, he replaced that lawyer with his personal attorney
