Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS? Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

Fuck everyone involved with letting them do this. All the past politicians. The current one. And all the future ones. This is as at least as serious as murder in my opinion.

‘Too much wind and solar’? Ten years on, South Australia tells a different story

Ten years after South Australia’s statewide blackout became a political weapon against renewables, the state now gets more than three-quarters of its electricity from renewable sources. The technology has raced ahead, even if the politics has barely moved.
