What is prepping – and how does it work in Australia?
Prepping in Australia is distinctive: less about guns and militias; more about food, water and community. While anti-government preppers are a problem, they’re rare.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident.
He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

The news today that EnergyAustralia had admitted that offsets are the wrong way to go is a win that has been a long time coming.
In 2023 at our first #ClimateIntegrity Summit, Allan Fels, fmr Chair of the ACCC, explained that there are gas companies that are 'net-zero' certified by Climate Active.

That's my takeaway from this as well. Everything we now (rightfully) recognise as cringe would (by some - not you Cam) have been treated as genius/the secret sauce if the Tories had won. We need better means of measuring impact than credulously swallowing campaign PR.

anton and I reported Lib internal recriminations over their social brain rot but I think it's just b/c everything looks worse when u lose. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/06/2...
How is it possible these memes didn't win the Liberals the election?
Party faithful have savaged their own digital campaign, saying social media posts aimed at voters were 'cringe'.
