I just sat in on a brilliant talk by Dr Jeremy Walker. He's doing incredibly good work researching #AtlasNetwork & the influence of the fossil fuel industry on politics. A worthy follow if that's your thing :) #auspol

I highly recommend this free online 7-week course from University of Queensland UQx: Global Media, War, and Technology Explore the intersection of information technology, violent conflict & resistance. Update & hone your skills to be a critical media consumer #auspol www.edx.org/learn/war-an...

The ALP needs to focus on the "powerless" aspect of the LNP. The LNP literally do not matter. Change the fricken country and leave them withering. Stop feeling like you need to ask the LNP's (or media's) permission to change things.

The Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) is unfit-for-purpose. Currently the govt raises significantly more revenue from HECS repayments than it does from PRRT. I’m calling for sensible, overdue reforms: • Reduce the PRRT deductions cap from 90% to 80% • Remove the 7-year exemption period #auspol

"I think women are sufficiently assertive now that we should be giving some thought to whether we need to protect men's involvement," Alan Stockdale said. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

The new DJI Mavic 4 Pro drone is here, except in the USA because of tariffs. Everyone else can enjoy the new triple-Hasselblad camera system capable of 6K/60 HDR video. Other features include a revolutionary 360° Infinity Gimbal, extended battery life #photography 1earthmedia.com/come-fly-wit...

"The America we thought we knew is not coming back...the second Trump administration is an entirely different beast." "This idea that we can just wait him out, relying on old assumptions about the political cycle is something we have to be really careful with." @emmashortis.bsky.social #auspol

Queensland government is cancelling renewables projects. Can the state still reach net zero? Last week, A$1 billion Moonlight Ridge wind farm proposal was cancelled & another 16,000 square kilometres was opened for coal seam gas exploration. #qldpol #Auspol esdnews.com.au/queensland-g...

Pacific Blue’s Codrington Wind Farm in Victoria - Australia’s oldest wind farm to be decommissioned. Pacific Blue met with landowners & local reps to outline its early decommissioning plans, including its commitment to fully rehabilitate the site. #auspol esdnews.com.au/australias-o...

A third of people living with chronic diseases say they are not able to attend specialist appointments due to the cost. For many rural people travelling to specialists is no longer an option due to upfront costs. #Medicare #Auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The great Aussie gas giveaway is set to continue under Labor 🤯🫠 This is a total scam - we haven’t received a cent of PRRT for offshore LNG exports & the weak changes Govt made last term aren’t fixing it. Parliament needs to fix the PRRT. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

In Australia, Palantir has contracts with Australian Signals Directorate, Rio Tinto, Westrac & Coles. Companies like this that have access to your ATM transactions know more about you than you do. Your food, lifestyle, habits, supplements, are all indicators. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02...

Woodside is proposing minor changes to the project, but they don’t go nearly far enough. The WA EPA has reopened public submissions, recognising just how serious this is. Submissions close Tuesday 10 June. This is our chance to demand better. 📝 www.epa.wa.gov.au/media-statem...

Victoria just had its warmest autumn on record. Average temperatures were 1.90°C above average throughout autumn 2025, which beat the old record set in 2016. Australia was 1.41°C above average in autumn 2025, the 4th-warmest autumn since national records were first kept in 1910. #SpringSt #auspol

Shooters Fishers & Farmers Party's Game & Feral Animal Control Amendment Bill effectively resurrects the old NSW Game Council – an agency abolished in 2013 after an independent review found serious governance failures & a lack of accountability. They already hunt in State Forests. Enough. #NSWpol

The HMB Endeavour Final Report, just released by the Australian National Maritime Museum, is a detailed culmination of physical evidence, historical cross-analysis, and comparative shipwreck studies gathered over a quarter of a century. #auspol 1earthmedia.com/final-report...

Albo said “In order to get that investment in renewables you do need firming capacity, whether it be batteries, hydro or gas. If the argument for gas is that it helps transition to renewables — why not invest directly in the renewables, storage, and grid upgrades needed to get there faster? #auspol

Prosecutors in the US are investigating whether Indian businessman Gautam Adani’s companies imported Iranian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) into India through the Adani Group’s Mundra port, despite US sanctions on Iran #StopAdani indianexpress.com/article/busi...

World heritage list nomination of the Murujuga Cultural Landscape – more than a million petroglyphs, some almost 50,000 years old – should be referred back to Australia until nearby “degrading acidic emissions” from Woodside gas plant are halted. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

UK's Keir Starmer has got the same memo from USA's Pete Hegseth as Australia's Richard Marles ... raising the defence budget to 3% of GDP & even pushing for 5% China-Russia alliance has them worried. Should it? www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

LMAO ... when you're at the circus & something goes wrong, they send in the clowns to distract everyone ...

Great job @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social. And emissions are up too #auspol
