Hey Chris (Uhlmann) yes Norway built a $3.2T wealth fund from oil fields which underwrites pensions/education etc, but nowhere in your latest attack on Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen do you urge him and PM Albo to impose a 25% tax on Oz export gas. Blind eye mate.

Anything that publicly earns you praise will always, invariably, earn you hate. This is an immutable law of social media. The trick is to never stop working in good faith to be truly worthy of the praise. That’s what gives you the right to ignore the hate. Thanks for the love 🙏🏻

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

#auspol Whilst this doesn't become legal precedent in Australia, there are enough of us who agree with it and believe it to be true. I have no issue in my comments making the same, justified statement.

"Over the past decade, global temperatures have risen at an estimated pace of about 0.35°C per decade, depending on the dataset used. By comparison, the average warming rate from 1970 to 2015 was just under 0.2°C per decade." #Climate #Science www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Dear Australian news media, I have zero interest in your daily coverage of everything Pauline Hanson says and does. Yes, report her policies (when she releases them). But also report the policies of the Greens too. For balance. With some factual analysis of both. Do some bloody #journalism! #auspol
