Leftish oldish Australianish. I’d like us to become a Republic and to run the Murdochs out of our country for good. Not necessarily in that order. EVs, classic cars, photography, travels. He/him. ❤️💛🖤

A scathing analysis by Jack Waterford in @canberratimes.bsky.social It is now (sadly) clear that we cannot trust that @albomp.bsky.social’s Labor government is prepared to act in Australia’s (+ the world’s) best interests #auspol www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8979808/

Destroying the environment for corporate profits, with no benefit to the Australian people. KNOW YOUR REAL ENEMIES. #auspol

It seems the world swings between autocracy and democracy every 80 years or so, and the pendulum is now swinging in favour of demagogues. Australia is resisting the swing atm, which makes me immensely proud, but we must be vigilant and call out right-wing ratbaggery whenever we see it. #auspol

“Woodside’s gas expansion isn’t just a huge policy mistake. It’s a devastating setback for every Austn who’s: Installed solar panels Bought an EV Changed their diet, flown less, or spoken up for climate action Campaigned for emissions reduction targets.” www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/woodsid...

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... I’m getting the impression that Labor doesn’t work for us. #auspol

Where's the voice and respect for First Nations peoples and their culture, @albomp.bsky.social & Senator Watt? "Murujuga custodian Josie Alec said it was a "disgrace" to think industry and culture could co-exist. This is the battle of all battles," she said." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Anus, My Anus, wherefore art thou, surely not cruising the Hume Highway?

Remember this 2012/2013 LNP and #AtlasNetwork partner activity? The (Atlas-partner) IPA Wishlist? Joe Hockey’s speech at the mother of all (Atlas-partner) London thinktanks? The (Atlas-partner connected Tony Abbott?) The complete reversal on their “no cuts” election promises? #auspol #AustraliaVotes

Murujuga is one of Australia's most precious heritage sites. But it's being slowly destroyed by gas industry emissons. Our new must-watch video report from @stephenlongaus.bsky.social covers the threat to some of the oldest rock art in the world 📺 youtu.be/Bj9VOMKYxSI #auspol

A bit of background on what Labor just greenlighted for destruction #NorthwestShelf #woodside #climateCrisis #auspol

One of the insane facts I discovered writing this article is that WA collects more revenue from motorists in registration than it collects from fossil fuel companies in gas royalties

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. #Australia has such shit government when it comes to minerals and resources, rental taxes. youtu.be/ZMDpmlJBG4Y?...

An analysis www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Time for a climate damage compensation levy on the companies who are exporting fossil fuels from Australia. As VIC debates how to fund emergency services such as the CFA & SES, a levy like this would mean we would never have to ask a farmer to pay a contribution for emergency services ever again.

The Australian Labor Party's "light on the hill" has turned blue. #AusPol #gas #woodside

I am not sure how this extensive living organism can survive continual mass bleaching. Trying to breed resilient species a joke. Farming practices for the ocean ridiculous concept. The approval of the North West Shelf have you no shame as a Queenslander @jimchalmers.bsky.social #auspol

Oh look, great timing, @albomp.bsky.social, just as your party has approved a catastrophic climate bomb (North West Gas Shelf project). Political spin won't beat science, laws of physics and chemistry, and reality, Albo. theconversation.com/unesco-expre...

Meet Murray Watt, Aust’s new environment minister. His 1st major act? Approving one of the most polluting fossil fuel projects in the nation’s history –shattering any pretence of climate leadership from a government elected, in part, on that very promise #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/murray-watts...

Now with Woodside and the Albanese govt joining hands to hasten the destruction of the climate and environment, this is even more relevant. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

Murdoch calling Zoe Daniels a sore loser in his RW propaganda shitrags. When are we going to wake the fuck up and erase this arse pustule from our democracy. The sooner that cunt breathes his last the better for humanity. Pure, unadulterated evil

I feel sick. I feel angry. I feel so, so sad. What a legacy, @albomp.bsky.social. I'll NEVER forgive what you've done to this country and our future. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

"Millions upon millions of animals have died in [southern Australia].Their deaths are directly linked to the combustion of fossil fuels thru rising temperatures — the sea temp is currently 2.5°C above normal . Over 200 different species have been killed..." 🌏 timinclimate.medium.com/i-cant-prete...

There is no gas shortage in Australia. We don't need new gas wells. We just need to prioritise Australians over exports. #auspol

BREAKING: @albomp.bsky.social recounts his childhood growing up in a giant gas mining operation and vows to make sure everyone will know about it for another 50 years. And that his mum hated ancient Aboriginal art. Film of historic environmental vandalism at eleven. 🤬🤬🤬 #auspol #climateCrisis

In approving Woodside's North West Shelf gas export plant extension, the Government has put big gas ahead of Australians. “This expansion will do vast damage and deliver almost no benefit to Australia or Australians," said @rodcampbell.bsky.social #climate #auspol

The final act of the last parliament was to gut Australia’s environment laws. The first act from the new government is to trash climate credibility, with Woodside’s huge pollution bomb. The Enviro minister has failed at the first hurdle. Trashing the environment, not protecting it.

Guess we got our answer.

So @albomp.bsky.social used his thumping majority to deliver Peter Dutton’s gas policy. What a gutless nothing. Proud day I guess for all those who worked in the campaign. Your values being brought to life!

Great to see Jacinta ‘Name Your’ Price is getting herself set up for a nice AUKUS job post politics. Grifters gonna grift. 🤬🤬🤬 #LNPNeverAgain #auspol

Turns out VoteCompass was right. Left of centre and giving a shit about out the environment wasn’t actually Labor after all! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Murdoch hack Kim Williams doing what Murdoch hacks do best: being corrupt #auspol youtu.be/Mpa_6u230dE?...

Unlike the ABC, the #SundayShot won't censor Nasser Mashni. Watch @davemilbo.bsky.social's interview with the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network President. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC3D...

I’m gonna bet a CEO on $7,500,000 a year has a higher carbon footprint than ‘ideological young people’ ordering a handbag or t-shirt from Temu - even before we get to massive amounts of carbon resulting from their day jobs. She can f$&k right off, the gaslighting piece of shit. #Woodside #climate

Sadly, CEOs can’t order massive super yachts from Temu. Also no amount of money will buy back their souls.

Presumably he will tell him there is no way his government will approve a 50-year extension Woodside’s climate destroying North West Shelf gas EXPORT terminal that will cause 4.3 BILLION tonnes of emissions and make floods more frequent and extreme….
