The Water Companies in England take £13bn from you every single year. In 5 years that will be £20bn. If you nationalise them that all goes to Government instead of Tax Havens.

Reading this article had me thinking Hamas was the bad guy and Israel had done no wrong in 77+yrs. All this talk of the "brutality of Hamas’ actions" and "the war in Gaza" when what we're watching is ISRAEL COMMITTING GENOCIDE AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE. Ffs. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

“This is what 1.5C above preindustrial [avg temp] means. Things will get a lot worse before it gets better & that’s what makes me sad.” You should be angry, not sad. And thank goodness the @albomp.bsky.social gov extended the Woodside oil/gas project to 2070 hey. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The USA demanded a 4% spend of GDP on defence. But later settled on an increase of 0.5% to 3.5% of GDP An increase of 0.5% of GDP spend on defence would double the yearly defence budget to $100 Billion Fantasy, we can build hospitals, schools, infrastructure, houses & end poverty. #auspol #AUKUS

THIS heralds a huge problem for Australia, for the climate - and for Labor These actions are unsustainable and need to be opposed The consequences are going to be catastrophic for the climate and the environment People want URGENT CLIMATE ACTION - not deceit and emissions

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

For the record:

Dr Assal Rad— "Do you see the difference in these headlines? "The first recognizes the problem with Israel’s actions, but NYT justifies them. It’s not by chance, it’s by design."

Australia - blowing up sacred sites, increasing emissions, accelerating climate warming - and blowing up whatever soft power we had left in the Pacific

Former PM Scott Morrison should be in front of the NACC - not getting a King's Birthday Honours Award. Upside down world #auspol

How the ruling class uses the press to manipulate public opinion. They just buy the biggest megaphones.

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

We didn't. This was orchestrated.

Your child did not choose to be gay, but did choose to be honest with you about it. 🏳️‍🌈 Showing unconditional love and acceptance will have a huge positive impact on their life.

The post truth era may be defined by the moment Trump said Musk can’t be trusted, after trusting him with every aspect of government data for months, and the media apparently not noticing the split in reality.

I wonder if the people charged with firebombing Tesla Dealerships will now be pardoned?🤔

First measles death in Ontario. Baby contacted measles before birth! Mother was not vaccinated. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GET VACCINATED. IT'S SAFE!

Disgraceful … Albo remove this joke Brereton as head of the #NACC, do what you have to do to remove him immediately. You promised the Australian people open and transparent Anti-Corruption Commission. You failed … #auspol #NACC @albomp.bsky.social

The opportunities to urgently address climate mitigation action are fast receding .. we will find that at some point we will have passed the last milestone Opening new gas projects through to the 2070's, sabotages the future It's wrong and its a betrayal of something voters want addressed URGENTLY

Elon Musk getting in a little snit and threatening to pull the rockets essential to supplying the humans on the International Space Station is why the government should NOT award him critical contracts, like SpaceLink proving Internet access in war/disasters.

lol ABC saying “musk claiming, without evidence that Mr Trump appears in the Epstein files”… We could all drown in the existing evidence. ABC your deference highlights your ineptitude.

Just in case anyone was under the misconception that NIWA’s and GNS’s mission under their new guise of ESI is to help protect our environment, they’re actually all about increasing the exploitation of natural environments 🙄 #nzpol

The loss of $3.7 billion in Department of Energy funding for industrial decarbonization threatens efforts to replace large-scale fossil-fueled boilers with electric options. Reporting by @alexckaufman.bsky.social‬:

Sure Jan.

I'll be spending time over on the Darkside today, it's all too funny, the MAGAt's are not coping with Mum & Dad's breakup. 😁

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons on this morning's Fox & Friends: "Here I am on January 6." (It's June 6.)

45 years ago I had a teacher tell me that I’d never get a pilot’s licence. That I should lower my expectations because my grades were awful. ‘Forget about aviation,’ he said, ‘you’re a distracted idiot.’ So today, I’m absolutely delighted to announce, he’s dead.

A timely reminder for Australian voters, too, from this New Zealander writing about the NZ negative experience of privatisation of publically-owned assets. #auspol #nzpol #qldpol

Don’t give a rats arse what Morrison says or does, but giving him an award from our nation discounts the value of all the other awards other people have genuinely earned. #AusPol

Stop the rort. Fix the #PRRT. #capturedstate #fossilcriminals #auspol #wapol

Its 2025 We have a Labor government But we still have ENORMOUS inequality in education and funding A rich private school can afford this - where are world-class architects commissioned to build public schools in Australia? WTF!!

Thank you WW II vets for your heroism on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Your fight saved the world from fascism. I wish we remembered that fight now as fascism is taking over the United States.

The govt’s claim that a new super tax is needed for budget repair rings hollow while they refuse to fix the broken PRRT or phase out billions in fossil fuel subsidies. Australians saving for retirement should not be penalised while big gas multinationals continue to avoid paying their fair share.

So Rockliff says Tasmanians will go to an election "we can't afford." Yet we can afford a $1B stadium? How does that make sense? #politas

80% of Australia’s gas is exported and NO GAS EXPORT PROJECT HAS EVER PAID PRRT. Utter rort, aided and abetted by THE Australian government. Big Gas is taking the piss, and your government is letting them. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

If you think we can wait until January of 2027 for a new legislature so they can save us from fascism, you are on ANOTHER PLANET. PLEASE join us here on earth. The sooner the better. We need to ACT NOW.

The real story with this is that Tim Wilson and his cousin are replicating the same scare monger tactics they used prior to 2019 with Labor's proposed franking credits changes - except this time he can't call a fake parliamentary inquiry #abc730 #auspol
