Climate action now. I hate corruption in politics so I hate the LNP, Tories and the GOP.
I get my daily Ukraine update from balloon-juice.com.

TBH, being linked to Tim Wilson was probably more embarrassing

If we keep heating and acidifying the oceans there wonât be any fish to protect.
At least the Woodside shareholders are happy.

Whenever I see news of transport upgrades to Oxford and/or Cambridge Iâm always reminded of the Yes Prime Minister episode where Humphrey explains that Ministry of Transport public servants want to get back for their University dinners easily.

Reminds me of the day we arrived in Australia many years ago in winter.
Checked the weather forecast, saw it was 18° and sunny so went out in T-shirt and jeans only to see everyone wrapped up in scarves, hats and thick coats.

Theyâve all been watching Bluey for the last few years so will know most of it.
Their kids are talking with Aussie accents.

People who had been conferred the Order of Australia were awarded respect that the office held.
Not any more.

Iâve seen him in concert a few times and heâs a real storyteller. He played on Morning Has Broken because the song was too short and needed some âtwiddly bitsâ. He also said that he played on 21 of one weekâs top 30.

Did he say it with a straight face?
There must have been a bit of a smirk, surely?

So will the press.
Exactly the same as the Australian press describing white men whoâve murdered their wives

The question I have never seen answered is âWhyâ.
Anybody with the slightest concern about the future of the livability of the planet would immediately recognise that this must be turned down.
âFollow the Moneyâ is usually behind big decisions. I wonder whoâs getting it.

I think. Vehicle to Grid, V2G, is going to make a massive difference as an effective base load to support wind and solar.
EV sales are exploding and once buyers realise that they can use them as home batteries and sell power back to the grid in times of need, sales will only accelerate.

Fossil fuels need to be kept in the ground. Unfortunately, both Labor and the Coalition are happy to keep approving new projects. Both are owned and operated by the fossil fuel producers

The problem is there is no cash. Woodside gets it all.

Absolute insanity.
If youâre going to approve a massive expansion to a gas field that will pump billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, at the very least, ensure that we get paid for it.
Surely everyone in the Labor Cabinet must be becoming multi-millionaires in appreciation for this gift.

One thing Keir Starmer has got right is the re-nationalisation of the Railways. The privatisation of all of Britainâs public services have been a disaster. The railways in the UK are now decades behind those in Europe.

I donât think people can conceptualise what a billion is. Itâs bigger than a million but thatâs as far as most people think.
If it was described as 15 thousand millions they might get an idea. And then the fact that billionaires exist might be less acceptable.

The world, I think, is busy preparing for what the future looks like without the USA. Theyâre (or Weâre) setting up new alliances and trade agreements that donât depend on the involvement of the US.
Even if FOTUS is finally replaced, whoâs going to trust the States not to do it again in the future

I have a pretty low opinion of most LNP politicians but, JFC, what a spectacularly obnoxious scumbag.
I wonât ask how much lower they can go cos one of them soon will.

The Derby Day reference very like the Melbourne Cup here in Australia - the Race that Stops the Nation, apparently.
The first Tuesday in November is a public holiday is Melbourne and most of Victoria.
However, its image is slowly diminishing with animal cruelty issues and the NuptotheCup campaign.

It would be interesting to see if they paid tax anywhere at all. Iâm pretty sure they donât pay any tax in Australia.
