“Australia is arguably better placed than any other nation to capitalise on its vast agricultural might to become not only a global leader in low-carbon liquid fuel but to help our key industries decarbonise in a cost-effective way.” @reneweconomy.com.au reneweconomy.com.au/bowen-unveil...

We’ve hit 46% renewable energy in the national grid. We’re on our way to hit 82% renewables energy by 2030. Peter Dutton and the Liberals plan to stop that, and to cap renewable energy at 54%. That’s putting up the stop sign on the opportunity of cleaner, more reliable energy.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

This is next level! 💥

The cost of inaction on climate is devastating. 1 in 5 Australians are uninsured or underinsured as disasters worsen. We can’t insure our way out—we must act. My bill calls for legislated Climate Risk & Adaptation Plans to protect communities & lower costs. www.zalisteggall.com.au/national_fra...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable. 2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

There’s nothing we can do about the US - but there’s a lot we can do here to make sure it doesn’t happen to us. We all have a role to play. Time to step up. Start here #auspol by subscribing, volunteering, donating > linktr.ee/CommunityInd...

Horrible

The problem the world has with only measuring by money and wealth. Musk,Trump&Rogan etc are the type of people if you were acquainted with you’d say “they’re good at making money and/or talking sh!t but as overall humans, taking everything else into account equally, they’re just assho!e d!ckheads.”

“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

This was just 233 days ago:

So we’re trusting Donald Dump-head to protect Australia apparently. I’m no defence expert but AUKUS seems like an unreliable deal to me. All the while probably p!ssing off China amp.9news.com.au/article/198f...

Forgot to add another announceable - 'break up the insurance industry' #auspol

Doing great 👍

News Corp stopped pretending to be a newspaper a long time ago.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Despite having nuclear power since the 1950s, the UK only generates 15% of their energy from nuclear. And they still have no long term solutions to nuclear waste. Say no Dutton's expensive nuclear fantasy.

‘AGL says its remaining coal-fired power plants cannot continue operating long enough for them to be replaced by nuclear reactors, as proposed…without raising the risk of higher prices for consumers and more sudden outages.’ Don’t get mugged by 🥔 on #nuclear. #Auspol www.smh.com.au/business/com...

AUS mainstream news media: If a lesbian couple feel unsafe bc of the actions of a male cabbie or a white policeman ignoring their complaint, the reporting will focus on criticising the words of the non-white member of the couple, rather than on the fact the women felt unsafe. #sexism #racism 😔

Labor and the Coalition have struck a deal to protect their power, boost their own funding, and shut out competition. They’re taking an additional $4.8M a year from taxpayers while weakening transparency laws—proving they’ll do whatever it takes to maintain control and block community independents

Peter does the weather report #DontRiskDutton #auspol

Never noticed this before but was Leo Barry’s mark a free kick to West Coast? Would Sampi have kicked it?!?!?
