Figures out this week show AGL is charging more to households for electricity and gas than it does businesses. If households got the deal businesses did AGL: customers would save on average $840 a year in gas and $957 on electricity - $1,797 a year. How is this fair? #auspol

Now that Twitter is dead and TikTok is limited, maybe it’s a good opportunity, young persons, to leave your phones and throw parties that old people can’t gatecrash, to build a culture that political parties can’t colonise, and to enjoy new ideas that corporations can’t milk for cash.

While I find this hilarious, Silent Night is originally a German Christmas carol and that particular line roughly translates to "noble boy with curly hair" Not sure where they got so mixed up 😬

Oops. Shit hits the fan. They paid these two sleazebags a truckload to sell radio porn in Melbourne. They died like a dog in a ditch and advertising revenue has tanked. AND THEY HAVE NO WAY OUT. Hilarious. www.smh.com.au/business/com...

For commentary on Dutton's nuclear policy, ABC News went to NewsCorp's Clare Armstrong! Srsly! Not a scientist, an energy costs expert or even ABC's Laura Tingle. They went to a staffer from one of Murdoch's tabloid trash propaganda rags. STOP PLATFORMING NEWSCORP! #auspol #JournalismMatters 😠

"Are we mugs? Absolute mugs?" Gary Adshead at 6PR can't believe the gas industry is calling to import more gas when 80% of Australia's gas is exported overseas, mostly royalty-free. @rodcampbell.bsky.social dismantles the gas shortage myth. #auspol #climate
