1. The concept of "baseload" is a myth. It's an antiquated concept pushed heavily by the fossil fuel industry. 2. Nuclear power is the most expensive power that can be generated 3 . Dutton is a liar. #auspol

C'mon just do it Dickson Cut off the snakes head

Remember there are several Liberal politicians a party members attending this event #auspol

ICYMI: Dutton has engaged controversial creative agency Topham Guerin, known for its aggressive use of disinformation tactics and deepfake technology, for the election campaign. Expect LOTS of lies. 😠 #auspol #AusVotes2025 www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

A QLD petition calling for energy relief for pensioners & vulnerable Queenslanders. 🙄 Well, energy rebates were something that QLD Labor DID provided for ALL QLDers. Only NOW the numpties wake up to the reality of QLD LNP slash-&-burn policies. 😵‍💫 www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-the-...

Blame game. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Racism is going to be the main through line of this election www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Well done SMH, this is how you report lies -as lies

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Spudnik’s nuclear costings are a fallacy Their quoted kilowatt of capacity is just 1 furphy. It would cost a great deal more than renewables That’s if we ever get to end-stage build Plus hidden running costs, massive building costs Let’s not mention insurance. reneweconomy.com.au/peter-dutton...

Labor never gets credit for their economic credentials and are always framed by journalists as less competent managing the economy than Liberals. This is a myth that has been around as long as the Labor Party. It’s tiresome.

How can Dutton get it so wrong?

Our ABC is quoting Mike Pezzullo as a legitimate source again today. Kim Williams has failed to reform the news service. #AusPol

‘Labor's $10 billion social housing fund has made twice its benchmark rate of return in its first year in operation, bolstering future rounds of grants for social and affordable homes.’ Well that’s inconvenient, Mr Dutton. #auspol #AusVotes25 #DontRiskDutton www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

As Dutton parades his softer side, let’s all not forget woeful he is. Perhaps the most significant question around Dutton’s incompetent pitiful political history & disgraceful performances relate to his approach, over a long period, to the politics of race. It’s the only thing he’s got. #auspol

Dutton's policy for first home buyers to access their superannuation to buy property will actually force house prices up while simultaneously robbing buyers of their retirement savings. It's basic economics. One of the dumbest policies I've ever seen. #auspol

. I've written to the Chair and CEO of Creative Australia about their terrible decision to rescind the appointment of Khaled Sabsadi and Michael Dagostino to the Venice Bienale. You can find their contact details in the letter and I'd urge anyone else who thinks this is a travesty to write too.

Looks like a repeat of the Qld LNP state election campaign. Little policy & no costings (remember David Fully-Costed). Make any old claim & even if fact-checked enough media will have repeated it. The election slogan is set as "Peter Dutton Says". #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Never has there been a greater need for Australia to turn away from its military alliance with the United States and forge an independent and peaceful foreign policy. In fact foreign policy should never be in the hands of the Defence Forces .. they have a conflict of interest. #auspol #AUKUS

Canva has signed on to Fortescue Metals’ real zero campaign calling for the Australian govt to “abandon the net zero smokescreen”. The iron ore miner published an open letter in newspapers, calling for the Government to replace net zero targets with a hard end date for fossil fuel use. #auspol

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022. they had two options to arrest the decline: 1. win back trust with good governance & good policy 2. rig the system tonight they chose to rig the system. a dark day for australian democracy.

HELP NEEDED: Our conceptualisation of energy demand is deeply flawed. I would like to write an academic article expanding on my commentary with an updated Sankey diagram. If anyone wants to work with me on up to date analysis I would love to hear from you! knowledge.energyinst.org/new-energy-w...

BAHAHA!

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now? youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

Sydney, Australia.

Chain of command. My @smh cartoon.

We're coming at the housing challenge from every responsible angle. We're working with financial regulators to make it easier for Australians with a HELP debt to responsibly take out a mortgage and buy a home, and also unlock the construction of more units. #auspol #ausecon

Dutton has backed more funding to women’s health. But the political record is worth revisiting. Indeed it is. Fabulous piece by @vanbadham.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The actual dear fuck to god, this is beyond appalling, it is absolutely sewer stuff. 52 members of Dutton’s Liberal/National parties voted to silence the most senior Jewish politician in Australia WHILE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT AUSCHWITZ. Read it. click.email.fairfaxmedia.com.au?qs=162b7eb9c...

If Albo's advocacy for tariff exemption fails - and it may - remember this 👇 '...Turnbull has asked Australia not to judge Anthony Albanese harshly if he cannot stop Trump's proposed 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium imports into the US.' #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

A good interview with Malcolm Turnbull. Trump despises weakness, the #AUKUS deal is so woefully one sided in favour of the USA, that it gives us no leverage. In fact despite Marles cash splash of $A800m, to the USA, it is already seen by the US as a massive sign of Australian weakness. #auspol

The undermining by Dutton and Littleproud of both the PM and our US ambassador, ahead of a call to try and secure an exemption to Trump’s tariffs, is extraordinary. Political point scoring rates well ahead to the national interest with these bullies. Duts a strong leader? My ass

Niki Savva is absolutely on the money with her scathing assessment of Dutton & his many failings. What makes this piece even more credible is that Savva is a Lib - & she has more courage of conviction & competence than any of the rancid rabble that passes for journalism in this country right now.
