I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

"The less we hear from Marles in this term of government, the safer we shall be." The control he exerts over Albanese and Wong is disturbing. He acts on behalf of Washington, not Australia. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Talking about the 'power' of the Australian gas lobby gives the industry far too much credit. The real credit should go to our government and senior public servants for their spinelessness and willingness to put self interest before anything else. #auspol #climate @australiainstitute.org.au

If Senator Murray Watt approves the North West Shelf extension, his legacy will forever be as the man who destroyed the oldest rock art on the planet. It will be an act of vandalism so gross that nothing he can do in politics thereafter could counter the damage.

Wow. Reuters reporting that Xi 'expected' to attend COP30. Climate geopolitics flipping fast with China now clearly keen to take "lead" with US under Trump in retreat. "Xi is also expected to visit Brazil for [COP30], which officials expect to include some 1,000 Chinese business leaders."

I live in quite a poor area of the city, we're near a mosque which runs a food bank and a church both welcome anyone. Every sunday members of the Nigerian community up the road saunter past in their glad rags, a nice sight. Our area is dotted with Eastern Europeans and their kids, all born here...

Australians voted for climate action. More than 50 organisations have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister, united under one message: Climate action means no new coal and gas. Published today in The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Canberra Times. #auspol

Convincing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the blue fluid from bus toilets is a wave-disrupting proton immunity elixir. He signs up for a $1200 monthly subscription for a two-ounce vial. "You have to rub it on your gums," I tell him. "Of course," he answers. It sounds like sneakers in a running dryer.

Reform don’t think climate change is real and all the other parties are dancing to their tune. Here’s @carladenyer.bsky.social on @novaramedia.com explaining how we as Greens must be steadfast in fighting their lies.

After weeks of media attacks on #NetZero, we learn in one day that 1000 new jobs will be created at a second giga-factory in Sunderland, that plans for 4.7GW of offshore wind have been advanced by the Crown Estate, & Ed Miliband approves a 400MW solar farm. Result? Zero column inches.
