We set a goal of reaching 100% renewable energy by 2040. To get there we’re going to need a whole lot of job-creating renewable energy projects, and we’re not letting red tape get in the way. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/c...

My latest in The Echo. The Albanese govt's reforms are not being given the credit they deserve. The focus group-driven mantra of a ‘do nothing’ govt cannot be sustained if our erstwhile political commentators bothered to look at what the govt has actually done #auspol www.echo.net.au/2025/01/main...

Howard has learnt nothing. He still tries to justify immoral spying on a friendly neighbour, Timor, as ‘in the national interest’. That’s false. It was in Woodside’s interest and it poisoned relations with Dili for over a decade. Dumb and shameful! #auspol

A journalist needs to ask Peter Dutton this question: If you don’t believe in climate change, why would you propose nuclear, given it's so expensive?

Once CO₂ is added to the atmosphere, it hangs around, for a long time: between 300 to 1,000 years. The area under the graph = amount of emissions 👇 Waiting longer to cut emissions - as per Dutton’s concept of a nuclear plan - mean lots more emissions & lots more global warming. #auspol #climate
