In case it’s unclear, the LNP, Labor, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation & Trumpet of Patriots are all in the ecocidal end of the spectrum.

So here's Peter Dutton long-term plan for nuclear power, if it wasn’t already a scam. Pour hundreds of billions into the project, have taxpayers carry the can, and then flog it off to the likes of Gina to profit from. #auspol

Water is our most precious resource. But Peter Dutton wants to spend $600 billion in taxpayer money on one of the most water intensive energies, nuclear. Under Peter Dutton’s proposed nuclear model he will ultimately need three times more water than coal to keep the lights on.

Cripes our media is so broken. The set up, the questions, the fact that they are asking Peter Dutton about this.

The former director of the ACCC Gas Inquiry is calling for a limit on gas exports. 80% of Australia’s gas is exported. They are draining the system to the point we need to start importing gas, and they price gouge us for the remaining 20%. Calling a duck a duck. #auspol

Kind of stunning really, but in January a record percent of adults in Australia had a job

“We have political leaders who insist that mining & forestry underwrite Australian prosperity. Those who believe this nonsense cannot be trusted with the wellbeing of future generations.” “Mining & native forest logging industries, collectively, employ only ~2% of the labour force." – Ken Henry

Dutton’s plan to break up insurers is a populist stunt that ignores the real issue—climate risk. Insurance costs are soaring, driven by worsening climate disasters. Without investment in mitigation and adaptation they’ll keep rising. Visit zalisteggall.com.au/media_releases to read my statement.

Sally McManus says the reason living standards started falling are bcoz of the former Liberal government who oversaw a wages system that was “totally, utterly broken” & who were “keeping wages low” as a “design feature” for “10 whole years”💥#AfternoonBriefing youtu.be/hmFO2wFdqLY?...

The not-environment minister Albanese promises to abuse environmental laws. Environment minister Plibersek goes missing again. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Of course Albo promises to put salmon and big business that pays stuff all tax australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-tas... ahead of environmental health and preventing extinction www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02.... Of course he does... How's that Labor Environment Action Network (LEAN) going?

PERTH! Join Kate Chaney MP, Karl Mallon, and Mark Ogge to find out how climate change is driving up your insurance premiums, what we can expect in the coming years, and what it means for your property! 📅 6pm Monday, 17 February 🌐 Wembley Hotel, Perth @katechaneymp.bsky.social @markogge.bsky.social

Peter Dutton sacking 36k public servants? Josh Barnett checks the evidence for govt efficiency, finds consultants are twice the price #auspol #DOGE michaelwest.com.au/peter-dutton...

The formidable Knitting Nannas have produced a highly informative video on the merits of minority government...or a house that's 'well hung' 😉 #auspol #climate #climateintegrity @knitnannassyd.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/bLqdo...

We need the ABC - but not like this #auspol

There isn't a single vulnerable person in the country that these goons wouldn't throw off a bridge at the mirage of political advantage. They stand for nothing other than power and the privilege to be unnecessarily evil to people who don't deserve it.

Warning. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Labor just voted with the Coalition to kill THEIR OWN Nature Positive reforms🤯 Enough crossbenchers voted to keep it alive in the Senate for Labor to have passed their long promised reform. Neither of the major parties will stand up for Nature 😥

Really nice that parliament dedicated a day with speeches on the rise of antisemitism yesterday. Just curious if Indigenous ppl will ever be given a day of speeches on the rise of Racism against First Nations people which stemmed from the LNP & the Voice’s No campaign?

#PeterDutton “has no idea what he is talking about” when it comes to his _own_ energy “plan”. the LOTO’s claims show a “complete misunderstanding” of his unclear #nuclear policy — a policy that will drive up bills. read @dylanjmcconnell.bsky.social’s critique. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Climate change is really, really expensive www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

When people like Dutton talk about “cultural diversity” or DEI jobs they’re essentially just denigrating non-white people. It’s straight racism and journalists need to call it out. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

This is a great breakdown of Peter Dutton's carefully orchestrated lies, designed to fund the fossil fuel industry by robbing people through their electricity bills. Terrifyingly: the lies work well. Australians still broadly believe renewable energy causes bill shocks

I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with. The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth. Why? #LatouffvABC

Fires. Droughts. Deadly winds. Fossil-fueled climate change is making extreme weather more destructive – just as #BigOil knew it would. They caused this crisis. Now, they must pay for the damage.

“Australian nature: if our laws don’t radically change, environmental degradation will continue” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We've had 1700mm (67 inches) of rain in 3 days, with every town within 300kms basically underwater. Our Swiftwater rescue teams are doing an amazing job with only 1 life lost so far despite the devastation #ses #qld #fnq #queenslandfloods #floods

Dutton says he’s not going to announce coalition spending cuts until after the election 🤨 He’s doing it again. No-detail Dutton -who demands the details from Labor won’t reveal spending cut details MSM let him get away with it Are voters seriously that stupid? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Scott Morrison’s Govt worked furiously to keep the Great Barrier Reef off the World Heritage in-Danger list. Now it’s revealed @albomp.bsky.social’s Govt has done exactly the same. That’s the duopoly at work. Politics before the #environment. #auspol

Dutton today on Jews in Australia: "I’ve never seen an element of society ostracised in such a way" Yeah, that's why they have a much lower life expectancy, earn 25% less than everyone else, and are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated... Oh wait, no that's another group.. can't think who.

You know who does nothing for Australians? You Peter Dutton. You divide us/sow fear & bigotry. We are not Americans, your Kmart Trumo antics won’t work here. We all make this country great, from Indigenous people to multicultural Australians. You have no plan to help any of us

Must have missed that bit from the 2024 Census ... "300 languages spoken in our homes, over 100 religions and more than 300 different ancestries, the Census highlights Australia's rich cultural diversity." "One in four people in Australia (26%) were born overseas" www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The lies and misinformation have started in Dickson. People are spreading damaging innuendo with regard to Ali France & her vote preferences, saying that she is preferencing Dutton. This is a lie. Ali is NOT preferencing Dutton. Strange that this shyte has started recently. 🙄

In Opposition the LNP blows hard about cutting govt ‘waste’. But in govt they blew billions on fat cat consultancy firms, subsidies for big business and failed defence projects while they persecuted welfare recipients & veterans. A shameful legacy. #auspol

Victoria has built 24 backup solar and battery systems in community centres that can provide backup power when severe storms or fires hit so people can reliably "gather, charge devices, heat food, access hot water and stay connected during emergencies" www.premier.vic.gov.au/back-energy-...

"We must save the kids from doctors offices and put them in solitary confinement instead." Read more: chaser.com.au/general-news...

We applied 22,500m2 of woody debris to overgrazed arid Australia, the first pic sums up the results pretty nicely!! It not only helped veg and soil recover but provided habitat for reptiles and mammals, details in Restoration Ecology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Withheld from disclosure by Morrison for political self-interest. Withheld by Dreyfus for political self-interest. Finally released by Albanese for political self-interest. The full story behind the 5 year $400K #SportRorts #FOI battle👇. #auspol

At dawn, near the Shrine, at a place called Camp Sovereignty, First Nations people, and allies, began a day of mourning by reading out hundreds of massacres that took place in Victoria since colonisation. This is the truth of our history, and on January 26, the very least we can do is acknowledge it

If Australian govt had guts and vision they’d lure all the top US research scientists here who’ve had funding and projects frozen by Trump, and fund them and locals as a dream team.

Fuck me Millionaire Thug Dutton is full of shit We got solar 2 years ago, 5 adults living in our house, I work from home and our electricity bill is virtually non-existent If people believe his shit then more fool them

Applies to a lot of wildlife and pest management...

None of the benefits of the suburbs (ie a garden) with all the disbenefits For goodness sake can we just build some damn terraced housing in Australia please?

"Despite attempts by the foreign-owned salmon industry & some politicians to discredit evidence that salmon farming is the primary problem in Macquarie Harbour, the dept. has again confirmed the science is sound. The minister cannot ignore this advice." - Eloise Carr, Director, TAS #auspol

Yep, when you hear that mining is huge, remember they mean the profits are huge... The Hospitality industry pays more wages to Australians than does mining.

It is really wild how the fossil fuel industry in Aus has managed to spread the false perception that the Aus economy relies on fossil fuel sector jobs + cash www.industry.gov.au/publications... australiainstitute.org.au/report/clima...
