‘We’re the Millers’ is a darkly ridiculous movie from 2013 about bad debts and double-dealing desperados. It’s a good film, but it’s not as funny as Australia’s policies on the exploitation our national resources by foreign companies. #election2025 #auspol #insiders

It is easy to blame fossil fuel companies for global warming. They lied frequently and have no interest in stopping. But after decades of warnings, everyone should know better by now. The sluggish energy transition is on all of us and our chosen political leaders.

Labor and the Libs can lobby UNESCO all they want to not list the GBR as ‘in danger’ but it doesn’t change the fact that their Future Gas Strategy/Gas Led Recovery & expansion of fossil fuel industry will ensure the death of the reef in our children’s lifetimes 😪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
