In Q2, total global car sales fell, but EV sales *rose* -- to historic highs in at least 50 countries. The evident dangers of dependence on oil are making an impression.
Oil crisis speeds up global transition to electric cars
With the oil price soaring amid the Iran war, drivers increasingly chose electric cars over internal combustion engines from April to June this year

Thanks @ronnisalt.bsky.social for giving it some back. Albo was bludgeoned into it and it's doing way more harm than good for social cohesion. If people weren't antisemitic beforehand, this farce is enough to turn them. #auspol theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

"What it boils down to is that the NACC has effectively renewed its approval of pork barrelling" @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social takes a long run-up on #NACC @vogrady2132.bsky.social #auspol michaelwest.com.au/nacc-admits-...
NACC admits to be wrong on rorts, but ignores them anyway - Michael West
The NACC has been a monumental failure to date, yet it continues to surprise in its failure of purpose, ignoring the rorts it admits happened.

All this from a bloke who did shag, marry and date while married and drunk, it does make this interview embarrassingly unethical and immoral.
I know Let's ask a question on public morality from a politician who organised a fake water sale for $80M, walked out on his own political party, had an affair with his staffer who got pregnant while he was still married, and who was recently found maggotted in a Canberra gutter Perfect
🤔 Hmmm, somebody with millions in disposable income and the capacity to tap into dark networks in the developing world and who has come out publicly in the past 12 months to support One Nation? It's a mystery Nicole - a total mystery 🤔

Multi-billionaire Steven Lowy again publicly preaching about "values", this time calling for national service. He's far less vocal about $550,000 in secretive payments he directed to the Liberal Party via an obscure company weeks before federal election…(ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/nation-suffe...

apropos LRT, I want to add: Sarah’s testimony is the first from this Royal Commission that I have read - I am not watching livestreams, just clicking intermittently on ABC and Guardian reports - which resonates (to me) as a specific account of antisemitism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why on earth does BlueSky allow your name/handle to be added to a list without your permission? Any programmers who can indicate if there's an easy fix for that?
Anyone else really not looking forward to for Lobbyists Mid-Winter Ball I’ll say it again, let’s have a People’s Mid-Winter Ball full of service provider who help and advocate for the poor and people who use their services #MidWinterBall 🤢
Quite chuffed to discover I'm on lists of "well known anti-semites/critics of Israel" here on BlueSky Disappointed however to see I'm only on two lists. I shall have to do better Also, the person who put me on the "Terf's List" . . . . I think you might need to improve your research skills 🏳️⚧️ 🤔
▫️ Senator Michaelia Cash posted on her social media today that actions speak louder than words So here for your evening enjoyment is Michaelia being louder than words ▫️
In case anybody anywhere was in any doubt about what he was doing and exactly where he wanted to go with this, including getting a big payout from his contract release But yes, sure, tell us all again how it was all your doing with your last minute social media posts you claim did it #pffffft
Let's not forget Karl Kooker King suddenly coming out after 30 years in the media, emerging as the new champion of the alt-right when he has a $20M home to finish building Yes sure Karl, it's "something you've been wanting to do for a while and you funded it yourself". Yes, of course
This is what I’ve been saying to people who say “I just don’t get how so many people have suddenly decided to support Pauline.” It’s not her policies. It’s not what we hear in the mainstream media. There’s an entire ecosystem funded by Gina/Advance, modelled on mAgA. Direct marketing. Foreign op.

Karl Stefanovic, Kyle Sandilands, Dave Hughes all magically begin to support Pauline Hanson, burning bridges from their old income. What dark money is paying their new income so it can buy our elections? Rage for the machine #auspol
Gina Rinehart will also be unveiling the new Dave Hughes Landlord Crisis Management Centre and the Pauline Hanson Society for Refugee Support & Wellbeing.
Great piece by Ronni Salt. And yeah, not enough is being made of this cowinkydink... "connections like the totally coincidental podcast of Karl Stefanovic who has suddenly emerged after 30 years in the media as Karl the Kooker King."

It’s worse than supine bothsidesism … a media starved for numbers is salivating at the prospect of tapping into hanson’s apparent popularity. They don’t want to hold her to account: they want her audience.
Every policy of One Nation is just 'what I reckon', with nothing to back it up. No curiosity, no data, no relevant experience, no knowledge, no respect for people's expertise, whether in trades, teaching, medicine, trans folks, maternity care, culture, housing. Just scattergun guessing & whingeing.
Ninefax is already at it Apparently, there were ten "highlights" of her speech. I'm left wondering if it was the moment she called a female journalist "trash" or the bit about climate change being a hoax or the bit about defunding all Indigenous services? So many, erm, "highlights" .
Mainly sanewashing a catalogue of astonishing propositions. Press gallery brain is a thing. #auspol
Ben Peake@reddishraven.bsky.social · 2mo agoWill be interested to see the tenor of the Op-Eds tomorrow. Whether they treat her as a serious alternative prime minister, a "good retail politician" or whether they actually quietly call her on some of her bullshit.
i had to watch the press club address twice in order to make this, please watch it so i didnt ruin my day for nothing
The Chaser@chaser.com.au · 2mo agoToday, Pauline Hanson complained about people who have difficulty speaking English. Luckily, her speech provided the perfect example for anyone wanting to learn the language.
At the #NPC today, Pauline Hanson doubled down on the allegation the late Tim Fischer had once called her a "witch" and to "burn her at the stake" When pushed, she couldn't recall the evidence. "In some newspaper somewhere" she claimed Here's the quote It was from a man called Terry Andrews 🙄
