Really deeply and broadly (and equitably) tackling cost of living issues would entail regulating the hell out of the gas companies and utilities that hurt consumers by overcharging them for dangerous, outdated fuels they've been locked into using.

“ The Allan government wants to slash car parking requirements at new apartment complexes near Melbourne transport connections” — this is good stuff, especially if accompanied by investment in more public transport services where frequency is currently lacking 👍 www.theage.com.au/po...

End salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour now. As hundreds of thousands of salmon are dying, the PM is throwing public money at the polluting, tax-avoiding foreign corporations, putting them over Australia's people and wildlife. It has to stop. Add your name: theaus.in/save_the_skate

The stitch-up electoral donations "reforms" the government is ramming through parliament with Coalition support will be absolutely ripe for a constitutional challenge, because it directly undermines an aspect of what the implied freedom guarantees - a level playing field.

The headline should be: Trump’s Gaza plan is a war crime. Anyone who is not framing his genocidal Gaza plan this way is just making Trump more powerful. Don’t bury the lead. IT IS A WAR CRIME TO DISPLACE PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOMELAND AND OCCUPY THEIR LAND.

The government boasts that emissions are now 28.2% below 2005 levels. Sounds great, except that is only when you include the very dodgy "emissions" from land clearing and land use (there was massive land clearing in 2005). The fall of "actual emissions" is a mere 1.8%.

Labor seems completely unaware of the technological developments that are changing how tech can influence elections - they're even ignoring warnings from the AEC now!

The Aust. Govt. gives 72% of WA’s gas to foreign-owned gas exporters for FREE. That means no royalties were paid on $111 billion worth of gas exported from WA. Tell the Government to stop giving away our resources & make gas corporations pay. ✍️ https://theaus.in/collect_gas_royalties #auspol

🚨 2024 was the hottest year on record, exceeding 1.5°C of heating. Every fraction of a degree that we can limit warming matters. 🌏 I'm calling for a 75% emissions reduction by 2035. We must act now to decarbonize & build climate-resilient communities #75by35 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

THREAD To finish 2024, I want to highlight bravery of people who spoke out for our 4 Corners stories this year. By no means an exhaustive list, but blows me away. The ones that really got me are those that didn’t have to do it but chose to because it was the right thing. Give it up for them. 🙌💪❤️

When The Carter Center began leading the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases in at least 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, that number has been reduced by more than 99.99%. In 2024 so far there have been 7 cases. #legacy

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form. It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

@cathywilcox.bsky.social brilliantly depicts the real effect of dutton's nuclear policy. under the coalition's plan millions fewer homes will install solar and existing household solar systems will be frequently switched off to ensure his nuclear plants hit their production targets.
