"This is what the Albanese government is doing with its near historic mandate: extending a gas project that will pillage Indigenous lands and add substantially to the irreversible heating of the planet. It is almost cartoonish in its depravity." @thesaturdaypaper.com.au #AusPol #ClimateCrisis

This final sentence from @johnhewson.bsky.social applies to pretty much everything our 'government' is failing at : "There are viable, workable solutions – the only thing missing is political will." #AusPol

I’m planning a podcast about the various recounts and looking to interview some scrutineers. I’ve got one lined up for Bradfield and hopeful of another one, but if you observed the Calwell or Goldstein counts please get in touch.

Imagine if our health minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with public health experts. Or the climate minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with climate scientists…no chance But defence… Defence spending never causes budget deficits or high interest rates #climate

Peter Harcher says “The climate wars are over. And the Coalition lost.” If thats the case then the fossil fuel industry won Labor just approved a 45 year extension of Woodside. Not 5, or 10…45 The only transition in Australia is the transition towards expanded fossil fuel production

Albo smiles, signs the scroll, Hands Woodside the fucking controls. Gas for decades, death on tap, The world can choke in their carbon trap. Country scarred, the Elders cried— But Labor nodded, then stepped aside. 🖤🛢️🔥

In which I point out that our Prime Minister might just be stretching the truth a tad when he says that Woodside's North West Shelf extension is needed to firm the Western Australian grid. Did he tell you about how he grew up in social housing?

Labor approved 30🤯 NEW/EXTENSIONS of Coal & Gas projects in Albanese's 1st term of government As Ketan Joshi explains: "the act of supplying fossil fuels influences how much eventually gets burned. A system of active, intense expansion of fossil fuel supply naturally leads to higher usage"

Murray Watt is a perfect model of the modern Labor politician. President of Young Labor. Chief of staff for a Premier. Boss of the Qld Left. Now he’s the Environment Minister with responsibility for a critical decision. He chose to destroy the environment. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/29/m...

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

The Australian Government needs to back up their words with action. We should be stepping up as a middle power and taking concrete action against the Government of Israel for the horrors it’s inflicting on the people of Gaza. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Dr Ken Mulvaney thought that once people realised how important the rock art was, there would be no more industrial development at Murujuga. Instead he's seen multiple new developments built, creating acidic emissions that are slowly destroying the rock art. #auspol

It’s frustrating that mainstream commentators assert prejudices are inherent and must be accepted in policy making. Actually, they are diligently fostered. Right-wing “thinktanks” have been creating faux scientific bases for bigotry for years. #Auspol #NZpol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

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

Apart from the catastrophic climate impact, @albomp.bsky.social and anti-environment minister, Murray Fucking Watt, have decided that multinational corporate profits are more important than cultural heritage. #AusPol #AlboTheLiar #Murujuga @australiainstitute.org.au spells it out:

The NACC has now been in operation for almost two years and it has made headlines, not by tackling corruption, but from repeatedly stumbling over conflicts of interest. That cannot be allowed to continue.
