1. The concept of "baseload" is a myth. It's an antiquated concept pushed heavily by the fossil fuel industry. 2. Nuclear power is the most expensive power that can be generated 3 . Dutton is a liar. #auspol

What more needs to be said? #AusPol2025

I welcome the NACC’s findings - no corruption, no further action, as expected. This was a dirty Liberal Party tactic to try to stop me from winning in Goldstein. This is what Peter Dutton’s Liberal Party does. Race-to-the-bottom politics that is all about them, not you.

‘For years, Donald Trump’s servility to Vladimir Putin was dismissed as mere vanity or venality, an eccentric quirk of a reality-show president. Now, it is clear that the takeover is complete. On Monday, Trump spit endless insults at Ukraine and its leader while praising Putin without limit.’

Great town hall on the security implications of climate change #Auspol

A response to the suggestion that Americans are hate filled against the 'standard' list of groups. Click and read the thread.

Relationships are more than financial. The impending 25% Aluminium tariff fails to reflect our unwavering support for the USA in every war that they asked for since WW2. Such sociopathic behaviour from the new administration. 🙄😮‍💨 I suppose when we had a little one they wouldn't help then either. 😢

Brah... Very true

#BREAKING Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social announces at our #ClimateIntegrity Summit he will be introducing the Ending Fossil Fuel Exploration Bill into Parliament tomorrow! "This just brings us into line with what many leaders in the world are already doing."

🚨 dutton & albo have joined forces 🚨 instead of winning your vote by being less 💩, they're rigging the game. …by giving themselves: • $140m in taxpayer $$$ • higher spending cap than indies they think this will kill the independent movement. 👇donate & prove them wrong👇

Reporter: You cited $50 million worth of condoms sent to Gaza as fraud, but fact-checking showed it was actually Gaza in Mozambique for HIV prevention. Musk: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect. Nobody is gonna bat 1000. (Eric Trump repeated this lie last night on Fox News.)

You tell 'em, Johnson. 🍆 How dare decisions on what's legal and what isn't get made by (checks notes) a 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩!?

The most recent study showed more than 60% of Year 10 students don’t make the national standard for knowledge of democracy and law-making.

The wholesale price in Victoria has been negative for almost all of the last 22 hours. When you invest in wind and solar things go in the right direction - NSW for comparison. #Auspol

Question about the USA. Service personnel swear allegiance to the commander in chief and to up hold the constitution. What happens when the commander in chief is destroying the constitution 🤔

There are several key mathematical tipping points for crossbench viability 50% to the 2 majors is a huge one - and one I didn’t expect we would be getting so close to so quickly.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Sell your Tesla. ❌ Sell your Cybertruck. ❌ Get off Twitter. ❌ Don’t sign up for Starlink. ❌ Bankrupt him. It will take while but it’s possible. ✊🏻 #resist

Your real president wasn’t even on the ballot last November. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QXQ...

www.euronews.com/business/202... Tesla's market share in Germany fell from 14% to 4%—faster than Elon's credibility. Maybe blaming the 'woke mind virus' won't fix this one? 🙄 #EVs #Tesla #RealityCheck #Unplug&ReloadMusk #NoToFascistCars

"Norway and Qatar get a huge amount of revenue from their gas. We get an absolute pittance." "If you paid any income tax over the last decade, you've paid more income tax than all the big gas export producers exporting gas out of QLD have paid in company tax." @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

Sure am. My community independent is @mon4kooyong.bsky.social (Monique Ryan member for Kooyong)

The biggest changes to the electoral donations laws in 40 years risk undermining democracy by favouring the major parties over independents.

Oh lol. I forgot to post Wannon! No idea where they got 5.00 from. Tehan must have a lot of mates at the Warrnambool Turf Club backing him to 1.13. That’s an 88.5% probability of holding. No way in hell is that reflective of reality.

My (brief) analysis of Chisholm 2025, and why Dr Katie Allen is likely to return to parliament.

I’m slightly too far away to say yes to this… …but if you’re in Cowper (Coffs Harbour to Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Bellingen, etc)… Caz Heise is SO CLOSE to defeating the incumbent NAT MP, and needs your help raising awareness & visibility to swing the final few 100’s of votes.

“You would expect a 44 per cent reduction or of that order being passed through in energy bill relief.” Staggering ignorance of electricity bills, (not to mention their own preferred modelling), or just flat out lie. Perhaps a combo of both. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

When coal bids into the market at $ -500/MWh and we curtail wind and solar, when there is a small amount of gas peakers running and everyone gets their rate you know the markets is broken. reneweconomy.com.au/like-a-corol...

The 11th 100% #WindWaterSolar day in 2025 in California on Sun 2/2, and for 4.5 hours. So far in 2025, fossil gas is down 32%, #WWS is up 17%, battery output up 84%, solar is up 46%, imports are up, and demand is ~constant vs. 2024. On Sunday, WWS made up 52% of 24-h demand.

Next time you strike an uncommitted voter in the upcoming #auspol election, you might want to ask them if they knew the Liberal/Nationals under Peter Dutton voted repeatedly against cost-of-living measures to help working families. Here’s a handy list of positions the LNP have taken lately.

This citizen of #Australia stands with #Canada and her people. #FuckTrump #FuckMusk

Wentworth knows what it’s like to win elections. But it also knows those wins can’t be taken for granted. Each time they have risen they have campaigned better than before. The choice is stark: a formidable independent, or a return to those who will silently throw their loyalty behind Dutton.

It’s clear what Musk did - twice
