Just doesn't seem to be any spine within the Govt to do anything aside from wheel out some mealy mouthed concern-o-meter words every six months or so.

New report shows Japan potentially making more than $1 billion in profit on-selling more 🇦🇺 gas than our whole East Coast annual domestic gas consumption. More proof Australia has a gas export not a gas supply problem. ieefa.org/resources/ho...

Go for it. Make it impactful. "The leaders of Britain, France and Canada issued a joint statement on Monday warning that they will take 'further concrete actions' if Israel does not stop a renewed military offensive in Gaza and lift aid restrictions." www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Dear @albomp.bsky.social you don’t need to be scared of Gina and big gas any more. Woodside are proven climate criminals. Shut them down! Don’t enable them. @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol

Why is #Schrinner publically raising his "concern" for the Storey Bridge? What a childish act. Is he in Government or not? Has he not heard of Maintenance Funding? (BCC has a budget larger than Tasmania)

The Voice referendum is not the end of the story - how can it be when the majority refuse to accept or even acknowledge the existence of others? It was the worst act by Australians - a shameful act lacking in any values at all. The impact, devastating johnmenadue.com/post/2025/05...

Good that at least one minister in the Albanese government is worried about US-style #inequality. So here’s a start: #RaiseTheRate and tax wealth properly. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Housing in Australia is no longer treated as shelter. It is a financial product, tax haven, and political asset. 2.2 million properties are investor-owned. Public housing is under 3% of stock #auspol

As far as I can figure, votes could still be accepted up to last Friday at midnight. They will be marked off the role and counted on Monday.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne.... #Auspol. We all should give the Greens a fair go after they sort their leader out. Ie: Acknowledge they don't get a fair go in the media. Keep an eye on the Greens policy website. Decide what we agree with and see who we trust in the Greens

Energy Australia has been selling coal fired energy as "carbon neutral". The offsets used have been shown to be ineffective. "What's really concerning is that it's the Australian Government that's been giving the tick of approval to these offsets," @richarddenniss.bsky.social said on Sky News.

I always thought this was a false flag op so Zionists could play the victim card. Was I right? Looks like it wasn't 'terrorism' though the perpetrators were blamed as such and dubbed 'anti-semites'.

It’s a great honour and privilege to be elected as the fifth leader of the Australian Greens. In the face of the escalating climate and environment crisis, the housing crisis and the worst inequality crisis in history, our movement has never been more important.

A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australia’s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles. We don’t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports. @emmashortis.bsky.social went to take a look ⤵️
