Australia's renewable energy output continues to soar - renewables share at 95% in Vic this week! Albanese govt's transition policies have us on track to meet 82% renewables share nationally by 2030. Dutton promises to cut renewables & restore fossil fuels #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/brown-coal-h...

Wow. ABC political analysis, Laura Tingle lays out the history of LNP broken promises… Empty promises, no real policies, and no costings prior to the election. Dutton will slash the public service and employ private contractors. Their profligacy is legendary. #ABC730 #Auspol

This is incredibly scary, and I’m an Aussie living in the other side of the world.

This is Fascism. It will be felt around the world and reverberate through history…again. I’m in 🇦🇺 where we have a looming federal election. We must learn for this and keep from power any politicians who are hateful bigots and/or anti science. This is so grotesque and horrifying.

It’s an open secret among medical professionals: Many drugs maintain their ability to combat ailments well after their expiration date. One pharmacist says he sometimes takes home expired OTC medicine so he and his family can use it. (Published 2017, but there's no expiration date for this story)

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Extremist, misogynistic haters have no place in Australian parliament. This is hideous stuff from Babet. Calling a woman “thing”, “witch” and “demon” is beyond offensive. I hope the senate condemns this filth.

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

I concur, this is the wildest house I have ever seen - I think one of the residents is a potter and made a lot of the tiles covering everything. Favourite part - the Viking longship!

How the virus behind COVID-19 can harm your blood vessels and your heart. "It started as a respiratory illness – or so everyone thought. But it quickly became apparent that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was so much more." www.heart.org/en/news/2025...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

The Australian Gas Industry doesn’t pay much tax is NOT a huge employer doesn’t pay much in royalties the profits go offshore If anything, it COSTS the Australian Economy! Why aren’t we collecting windfall taxes for the Australian people like Norway do? www.instagram.com/share/_tm6RG...
