This, these companies worth millions facilitating fascism for profits.
"Much of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

Australia, one of the world's biggest gas producers, is set to import gas.
It shows the extraordinary failure of consecutive Australian governments to stand up to multinational gas corporations.

In Australia, more people work in arts and recreation (254,000) than the mining industry (220,000).
While there is plenty of money to subsidise fuel for mining companies, cultural institutions have suffered from funding scarcities for decades, writes @alicektg.bsky.social in the Canberra Times.

If multinational companies operating in Australia paid their fair share of tax, and if just a small portion of that money went to the arts, we could support great cultural institutions and fund our artists to create new work. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/886841...
The sad phenomenon of Australia's 'unfunded excellence'
It's inequitable to make artists pay tax while multinationals avoid it.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
