In unanimous decision, Australia’s highest court is not having Candace Owens. They're denying her a visa, claiming she failed a “character test” according to that nation’s standards.

It’s great to see the cross bench coming out early and with strength opposing the Govt’s evil #FOI Amendment Bill. Here’s @helenhainesindi.bsky.social’s amendment killing off the ability of the Govt to charge FOI applications fees and for officials to summarily dismiss FOI requests. #auspol

In 2010, the Aus and QLD governments allowed a handful of multinational gas giants to begin massive exports of our gas — a decision that's making Australians poorer today.
‘Our gas prices tripled, then tripled again...electricity prices doubled as well.’

The industry will do anything to wield influence on pollies, and hates being called out.

This could have been Australia, but thanks to John Howard, Tony Abbott, Scott Morrison, the Minerals Council and the BCA, we wasted nearly 20 years subsidising gas and coal instead. What a waste.
China ≠ just coal plants and solar exports. The deeper shift: electrifying everything it can. Strategic, because China relies on imported fossil fuels. Coal is still king in the power mix—for now. But the balance is changing year by year.
