"We subsidise the destruction of native forests. Do both major parties support that? Yes. "Does the public support that? No. "But because both major parties agree, bipartisanship means it's very hard to have a democratic debate." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

"Chevron continues to fall short in its duty to manage its operations in a way that protects unique environment of Barrow Is. …unsurprising given the history of Chevron on Barrow Island." www.boilingcold.com.au/gas-seeping-...

We don't need a more competent, less embarrassing Zionist in this special envoy role. Because the role is to quash opposition to a genocide. Scrap the whole authoritarian project completely, and then, if you want, appoint First Nations elders as an all-forms anti-racism envoy

They're really trying to WMD our butts into supporting the mass-murders of countless more brown people in the Middle East again. I wouldn't accept this type of hackneyed recycled bullshit from my entertainment, why would I accept it from my political propaganda?

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧 If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc. If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣
"The vast majority of Australians have got less than $200,000 worth of super." "We're having this entire media obsession about a small increase in the amount of tax that will be paid by people with more than 15 times that." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol
🚨BREAKING: Israeli speedboats have arrived and intercepted the Madleen Freedom Flotilla, and five of them are currently circling the flotilla. “They are intercepting our boat right now. We are not a threat; we have no weapons and are only carrying humanitarian aid,” said Yasmeen Acar.
If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?
Totally agree … but first … we need a flag that represents all Australians … not just a few living in a golden age past … that never really was…
10 years after gas exports from Queensland began, all of the gas companies involved, bar one, have not paid a cent in company tax. This is despite them selling $125 billion worth of LNG out of Queensland, and reporting $330 billion in total Australian revenue. #auspol
From now on every fossil fuel project proposed in Australia should be accompanied by a human impact statement outlining the consequences for food, water and peace and lives ruined. @JulianCribb #auspol #thehumanfuture #climate #fossilfuels
Merchants of death
In extending the life of Australia’s Northwest Shelf gas project till 2070, the federal and WA Governments have knowingly signed the death warrants of four million human beings.

Francesca Albanese— "Now that the wind is changing and everyone starts to oppose the Gaza meat-grinding: "Netanyahu did not commit the genocide by himself. The problem will not be resolved by scapegoating him, ignoring the rest. 1. End genocide. 2. End occupation/annexation. 3. End apartheid."
Imagine if our health minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with public health experts. Or the climate minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with climate scientists…no chance But defence… Defence spending never causes budget deficits or high interest rates #climate
ICYMI ABC, please explain. Facts matter. If you can’t get the facts straight please find someone who can. NWS gas is for export. It will definitely NOT help east coast consumers. Australia makes virtually NOTHING out of the deal. Pollution will cause more global heating, exacerbating climate 🔥🔥
Denise Difficult-Shrivell@deniseshrivell.bsky.social · last yr.Why is the ABC commentator not raising the fact that the gas extracted by Woodside from the North West Shelf will be exported overseas? He's making out like this gas is for domestic use - and that's incorrect. #auspol
With 94 seats & a progressive senate - if they still can’t stick to the science on climate, fix the NACC & Whistleblower legislation, online gambling, #raisetherate & now sanction Israel - then they really don’t want to & are captured #auspol
