Having returned from a @conmbank.bsky.social branch, my opinion is that CBA has no empathy for those with poor tech skills. Me: Can you please help my 76yo mum open an account? CBA: It must be done on our website or app. Me: She doesn't know how to. CBA: It must be done on the website or app.

I hope for a kinder climate stable world for my kids to thrive in.
Climate catastrophe A dire report on climate warming which has accelerated in recent years It raises the challenge to similarly urgently, accelerate our transition to renewables A challenge Labor is clearly not pursuing www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming
Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C p...

We know that Labor continues to approve new fossil fuel projects and subsidise fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute. They are letting the biggest polluters cook the planet, and to add insult to injury, they are letting them avoid billions in taxes too.
We know half of the world's CO2 emissions come from just 32 fossil fuel firms. We know billionaires emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average person does in a lifetime. We know Australia’s data centres could need more new electricity than cars and homes.
Without EUFA clubs, the Australian Socceroos has a better chance at progressing in future FIFA World Cups. #silverlining
France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
"The national mood can be summed up as ‘for God’s sake do something’, but that is not Albanese’s strength. His strength is in the not doing and explaining why that’s best for you." - @amyremeikis.bsky.social Salient summation of the Albanese's mediocrity 👍 #auspol
Time for Albanese to enter the fight against populism
There's a hunger for radical change in Australia, eventually Anthony Albanese is going to have to enter the fight.

I haven't seen one yet in Perth, Australia. Has anyone seen one in Australia?
Not gonna lie - I have the same reaction to seeing one of these vehicles drive by as I do when a stranger farts in a crowded elevator.
Let's choose having safe drinking water instead of water hungry data centres.
Burning. My @smh @theage cartoon.
This is taxpayer money down the drain. Households are paying too much for fuel, yet Labor's answer to every energy challenge is another handout to the fossil fuel industry. The cheapest, cleanest and most secure energy is clean energy we generate here.
Australia should follow China's lead to encourage lighter cars which will reduce injury risk to other road users and reduce infrastructure wear and tear.
China's biggest cars could be about to face a reckoning
China is reportedly experiencing shortfalls in taxes needed to fund road maintenance, as tax breaks for the heaviest EVs get wound back.

Every year our government delays a 25% gas export tax, Australians lose out on $17 billion! That money could go a long way to improve services and invest in our future. #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social
Shit just hit fan at work 😬 Can someone hand me a disinfectant wet wipe to clean my face?
History won't remember who toed the factional line; it will remember who refused to stay quiet while a genocide unfolded. Respect, Ed Husic.
In its campaign to put its Rudd-Gillard-Rudd past behind it, Labor, under Albanese, has mistaken a lack of dissent within the caucus for order and good policy. - Amy Remeikis I hope Labor gets a rude shock at the next elections & that it will be Greens and Independents that delivers it. #auspol
Albanese's 'disciplined' Labor risks making a very big mistake
The Australian Labor Party, under Anthony Albanese, has been a model in what political watchers like to call "discipline".

Hanson says domestic violence stops police dealing with “real crime”. I grew up with it. My mum got us out—with police help. Victims don’t create police workloads. Perpetrators do. And 79% of recorded FDV offenders are male. Domestic violence IS real crime.
Only in Defence can $300 million be left sitting beside a dead-in-the-water project because Labor and the Coalition followed the US down a dead end. Ghost ships, real money and more proof we need an independent defence policy.
The didn't shut Ed Husic up. The man should be a Minister in the government but the stupid factional fighting won over instead of who was right for the portfolio.
Since the office has so much power over the rest of the world, I think it is only fair that every person in the world should be able to vote in the US Presidential elections.
I'm starting to think that Trump's chances at being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize are not improving. He must feel so robbed.
