Fools gold Vanity. Trump is obsessed with European dictators. His own feckless vanity will always come first in any decision. #PretendPresident #FakeDictator #CoatOfHarms

Dutton’s plan to break up insurers is a populist stunt that ignores the real issue—climate risk. Insurance costs are soaring, driven by worsening climate disasters. Without investment in mitigation and adaptation they’ll keep rising. Visit zalisteggall.com.au/media_releases to read my statement.

The brave list for 2025: - Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde - Grace Tame - Caroline Kennedy #auspol

working on a lil something dedicated to el*n xoxo can’t wait to show the finished project 🫶🏻

Caroline Kennedy, cousin to the current pick for HHS secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, has penned a scathing letter warning senators about her cousin, calling him a "predator." She also says her father and uncle would be "disgusted" by RFK, Jr. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLLx...

This article is 113 years old and we are still not doing enough to fight against climate change! Morever: ⚠ 99.9% of scientists say that the climate crisis is 99.9% anthropogenic and there are still 50% of Americans who are climate deniers.

The Democrats' loss of ground on trans issues "has been an entirely self-administered failure, the result of a surrender to soi-disant 'trans advocates' from the faculty lounge and other dens of leftism—few of whom are themselves transgender."

Time to post this again

@peterduttonmpposts.bsky.social along with Murdoch, Reinhardt and the RW MSM, have gone RW WOKE on opposing renewables transition. As usual China wins, Trump fails. bit.ly/42ysAPZ

@peterduttonmpposts.bsky.social is running on the same old Peter. A Cruel Joh Bjelke Mean-Streak, Big R Racism (The Voice), and stoking relentless division against Modern Australians, but never showing up to answer questions. #DesperateTrumpLite #ausvotes25

Australians are losing millions to scams, with devastating impacts. While the government’s plan is a start, it falls short. I’m pushing for stronger protections, including mandatory compensation when banks or telcos fail their duties. My amendment ensures fairness, prevention, and community safety.

"With #climate change we're going to wind up with a lot of Australians who can't afford to have home insurance or car insurance." Don't believe in climate change? Your insurance company sure does. - @richarddenniss.bsky.social, Executive Director #auspol

After David Lynch used my apartment to shoot some of INLAND EMPIRE, he stayed in touch via random phone calls. Every one of them was a treasure. His art has been part of my life since I was a child. The world just got a little less weird, and we are all poorer for it. Fix your hearts or die.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Community independents keeps energy transition alive. Back independents, Liberals last. They’re up to 11 years still fighting for Fossil Fuels. #renewables

Dutton, like all the species-suicidal right, is very bad news for the future.

Peter Dutton was part of a govt that for 9 years, drove people on benefits into the ground, chasing some for a measly $10.50, and even, causing some to suicide And now this vainglorious plaster-saint tells Australians he's had high-level legal advice, but we can't be told its value Oh the stench

Whereas the cost to polluting energy is the planet itself, surely?

Warmest congrats, Ronni!

Will never cease to amaze! Thank you x

It’s difficult to overstate just how messy higher education policy has become in Australia. Both major parties are falsely blaming the housing crisis on international students, even while international student revenues prop up the entire system. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

"If we’re at a crossroads it’s one where the Coalition took a sharp turn, based on what looks to me like some really sloppy advice. Let’s hope that Australians stay on the path to a cheaper, cleaner and more prosperous energy future." @simonahac.bsky.social bit.ly/405ug1X

There was never any "TOTAL EXONERATION." New from @saletan.bsky.social:

What the hell are we even doing? Normalizing & green-lighting another psychotic madman. That’s what we’re doing. It’s f’ing insane.

☢️ one thing the coalition (and presumably their modeller) doesn’t understand is that “nth of a kind” (NOAK) cost is not “next of a kind” cost. even in the US — which has a warm supply chain and nature regulator — the next units to be built will cost more than 2x the NOAK cost.

☢️ coalition MPs worried dutton’s energy plan is radioactive. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

I prefer presidents who aren't wannabe authoritarians.

dutton's office telling media that his #nuclear costings will be released tomorrow — friday the 13th.

chris bowen and ted o’brien about to debate australian #nuclear on ABC 7.30. such a shame that they’re engaged in this distraction — rather than debating real issues around decarbonisation.

Excellent column. The only thing that’s certain is the end of certainty. www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

just wanna retire and go live in some quaint seaside town with my cat where i run a little bookstore that sells magical potions and spells that turn idiots into frogs and maybe help solve a local murder every now and then.

"Both major parties would rather have a straw man fight about nuclear vs renewable rather than concentrating on phasing out fossil fuels, which is what climate science demands." - @rodcampbell.bsky.social #auspol #climate youtube.com/shorts/jOJJs...

Dutton bleats he won’t stand in front of 2 flags. He already does! The Australian flag contains another countries flag (Keating). As an Australian, I certainly won’t stand up for the British flag. #truthtelling #alwayswillbe #ausflag25

Our economy & households depend on affordable & reliable energy. CSIRO has again confirmed that nuclear energy in Aus would likely cost twice as much as renewable energy even accounting for the much longer life-span of reactors👇 www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...
