Data centres are hell-bent on further bloating their already-massive energy hunger. The fact they mostly fake support new renewables is part of what makes them such a huge threat to climate goals and such a warm friend to fossil fuels. New vid + piece here: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...
And exactly like the BBC, we should never forget how @abcnews @ABCaustralia has changed this country by doing exactly the same thing—endless airtime given to the rightwing and their propaganda without any pushback on lies/disinformation while shutting out progressive voices. #auspol

Naarm/Melbourne has again showed up in force to protest Israeli atrocity in Gaza and the West Bank, grotesque Australian government and corporate complicity, and the silence and indifference of the husks posing as human among us. From the river to the sea.
Trucks from Zionist-occupied Morocco dumped 40k at the Spanish border(18k returned), in retaliation/anger of Spain’s World Cup victory & Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s brave criticism of Israel’s genocide of Gaza🇵🇸😢
While others engaged in politics and scare tactics, the Government has been focussed on the job of fuel security. We continue to have more fuel in Australia today than when the Iran war started. And we will continue to work every day to maintain Australia's fuel security.

The massive uptake of solar and batteries across the country is bringing wholesale energy prices down for everyone. That's what the latest Quarterly Energy Data report shows with peak time power prices hitting record lows. This is our plan for a fairer and more secure energy system at work.

The major parties wonder why voters are leaving them. Have a look at the recent Labor conference for a few clues…the people are left out of real debate.
These things are on opposite sides of the planet but 100% connected. Human security demands we keep coal and gas in the ground.
Houthis and Saudi Arabia are now fighting each other as an extension of the US-Israeli Iran war. Earlier this week Houthis destroyed two Saudi oil tankers, Saudi Arabia responded by bombing port of Hodeidah, Yemen, and then Houthis bombed Saudi Aramco's Jazan oil refinery with ballistic missiles.
Today I provided our weekly update on Australia’s fuel stocks. Australia currently has: ⛽️ 42 days of petrol 🛻 38 days of diesel ✈️ 32 days of jet fuel That’s 15% more than we had at the start of the conflict.
Labor saddles the country with highly enriched nuclear waste makes Australia a nuclear target, cuddles up to Trump, puts militarism before hospitals, abandons our sovereignty, builds public housing for US marines and welcomes US nuclear armed subs and bombers. It is sickening!
Nothing to be debated at the ALP National Conference has the gravity, and implications of the crazy AUKUS deal. Peter Garrett highlights this in his Guardian article. Sacrificing our sovereignty to the USA demands open debate and critical analysis. Avoiding debate is a disgrace!
