What are these 'shared values' with our 'friends' Israel and the US? Is it white supremacy? Genocide? Corruption? Systematically murdering brown people? Or is it the 'democracy' thing, that we have two useless political options, both of which want to make things worse? Explain it to me like I'm 6.

This article by @timinclimate.bsky.social dismantles the PM's claim that the North West Shelf extension is necessary to "firm the grid".
Why is the PM lying to us?

Again, more than 3,000 petajoules of gas were exported from Western Australia in 2022–23. If the entire transition to clean energy were to stand dead still as if renewables weren’t already going gang-busters — in Western Australia renewable energy generation has increased by an average of 20% each year for the past five years — we would need just 2.5% of that gas to keep the lights on for the state.

For this — according to our incredible shrinking Prime Minister did you know he grew up with a single mum in social housing — the Australian Labor Party needs to approve one of the world’s largest liquefied terminals to continue its operations for another four decades.

Utter bullshit. If you’re really concerned — and there is no good reason to be — divert some gas from the export market.
