It’s 2025 and too much of geopolitics has de-evolved into modern cave men throwing rocks to protect power. All while many of the real existential threats to our planet and human survival go unanswered.

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens. He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions. Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

Just stunning at how quickly Greece has transformed it's energy mix. In a decade, coal has been pretty much driven out from 50% to 6% More to come as solar expands 👍 #energysky

The Albanese Labor Govt has approved Woodside's #NorthWestShelf project extension. Would our Pacific island neighbours think Australia took their existential concerns about #ClimateChange seriously now?! Imagine if China demonstrated that they DID take those concerns seriously. 🤔 #auspol #diplomacy

Unethical conduct on a gobsmacking scale. A lobbying firm making policy which then goes on to win multi-million contracts to deliver. Ethics 101. Where are the consequences? Lobbyists and consultants dictated a government health scheme. It ended in disaster www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/28/m...

Read that again. One giant gas export project, worse than all Australia’s coal power stations. 6 BILLION + tonnes of emissions. Will @australianlabor.bsky.social approve it? If so, their climate climate credentials will be in tatters. Worse than Morrison. reneweconomy.com.au/new-legal-ch...
