“At some point, we can expect emissions avoided by Australian green commodity exports to surpass those from remaining coal and gas exports. Australia would then reach what could be termed “net-zero export emissions”. Rubbish. Fossil fuel exports will always continue to destroy our planet.

"Destination 2045 is a bold Plan to deliver Queensland’s tourism future" The Plan doesn't mention climate change! Instead, it claims that tourists in 2045 could help scientists to restore tiny patches of whatever is left of the Great Barrier Reef destination2045.detsi.qld.gov.au/20-year-tour...

ASX's top 100 companies gave their CEOs a near 14% pay rise in 2023-2024 while the rest of Australia was grappling with a cost of living crisis. Remember this hypocrisy when business resists calls to raise the minimum wage and for improved conditions and pay for workers. #auspol

The heat makes people and animals lose their minds. Flesh-eating bacteria waits in warm, stagnant water. Things melt. Sharks hunt at the beach. The kudzu is always hiding something. The blistering sun wakes up the ghosts sleeping in the walls. Remember: summer is horror season.

Albo secured a meeting. So fucking what? Trump doesn't know who he is. Trump doesnt care who he is. And Trump won't know anything about what he wants to talk about. Trying to garner concessions from a lying authoritarian imbecile is a stupid idea. #auspol #aukus www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Bronzy pink outer petals stretch to reveal a gorgeous golden center, all hues blending together into a nice, soft tone. As a grandiflora, it'll produce 3-4 of these nice large flowers in a cluster. They'll be accompanied by a moderate fruit fragrance, State of Grace is an unforgettable rose.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
