#DannyPrice from #FrontierEconomics is pathetically petty… first he injects shoddy analysis into the australian policy debate, then he refuses to share the outputs with the #ClimateChangeAuthority. (#PeterDutton's entire economic case for nuclear relies on frontier's sloppy work.)

Remember all those platitudes after the child abuse Royal Commission about how we as a society were going to treat victim-survivors of institutional abuse better? Read Rick Morton in The Saturday Paper today. I shake my head in utter disbelief. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

As a country, we cannot be complacent when climate collapse is so clearly a cost-of-living issue. Politicians have divorced the #climatecrisis from the issue of COL, allowing their often dismal records on climate & environment to escape scrutiny. #Auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is a right-wing media outlet using the false promise of nuclear power in a predatory, cynical and deeply cruel way to exploit the broad systemic failure to enact a just transition away from fossil fuels. Just utterly messed up HT @simonahac.bsky.social

Solar+battery for the price of two high-end macs is fucking crazy. I know this transition is cutting sick but I never thought this is a thing I would see. I remember a chat with a very-serious white man who spent the entire conversation telling me why batteries would never. So, he failed. Again.
