So many Liberal MPs and officials are actively backgrounding journalists, blaming some colleague or thing on the election result. I know they want to believe the problem is not them individually, but you can’t solve a problem until you admit it exists! Less backgrounding, more soul searching needed!

Israel is using starvation as a weapon - not just genocide and mass murder of civilians, but torture. It is evil beyond belief, and it is evil that the world isn't rising collectively to stop this country. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

I have zero idea why this passage seems phrased as some sort of gotcha. Scientists were suspicious about something, so they investigated and found that in fact their suspicions were unfounded. That's...exactly what they are supposed to do.

We came close — and we changed the game. This was never just about one result. We’re building a bold, honest, community-powered movement on the belief we can do politics differently in Forrest. The major parties can’t ignore the South West any longer. And that’s because of you.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

Effectively a full repeal of the largest climate bill in history. There’s no strategy for America’s future. We all get sicker and pay more in energy bills and suffer climate disasters, while some rich folks pay less in taxes. That’s it. Disgraceful.

This is why we made tippingpoint-podcast.com and why my follow-up is on the capture of economics. Social Cost of Carbon is pseudoscience. As Dana Meadows told Nordhaus, it should never have passed peer review, let alone be used in policymaking. Orthodox economics has cost us the climate.
