Great ... should have started 30 years ago, with govt funding to upgrade as it became necessary. We could have been world leaders in the use & development of renewables, solar & wind, but progressive govts have kowtowed to the fossil fools heading up the fossil fuel 'gang' of environmental thugs.

That the best Albanese can do to protect the most vulnerable amongst us is 'brag' that his govt is going is to 'limit' gambling ads to one every 20 minutes is utterly deplorable! $31.5BILLION pa is handed over to these leaches. Support Pocock's & Chaney's push to make them do more & better.

Stop Gambling Ads

Australians lose around $31.5 billion a year to the gambling industry - the highest losses per person of any country in the world. Tell your MP to support a gambling ad ban.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Why would anyone trust a mining company's capacity (or willingness!) to 'self-report' credibly? They need to be publicly called out and made to apologise. If that means 'loss of face', well, bad luck, they should have behaved in line with our environmental guidelines - & expectations.

According to Environment Centre NT, Inpex had been under-reporting benzene and toluene emissions from its Ichthys LNG facility by more than 13,000% between 2019 and 2024 Read that again, under-reporting the emissions of toxic gases by >13,000% between 2019 an 2024 🤯

It's also vital that AI providers build safety into their products from the outset, and that the government ensures that our kids' safety can be protected online. We need a legislated digital duty of care as a matter of urgency.

Gosh, my dad used to say, "If you never tell a lie, you'll never have to 'remember' the truth." And, kudos to Commissioner Bell reminding Ossip that she's the one who determines whether the Qs asked are in keeping with the Commission's parameters, not him. His presumptive arrogance is gobsmacking.

Do the whole country a favour: blanket ban her, stop reporting anything she says or does & give her a dose of her own disgusting, distasteful 'medicine'.

You wanna Air BnB your property. Go for broke. But live in it while you do, or reside on the same property that the listing is on. And only one Air BnB in a given portfolio "quivver" - anything surplus goes into the long term rental market.

Imogen @imogenib.bsky.social · 3d ago

If you have a home listed on AirBnB do us all a favour: return it to the long term rental market, and look down upon anyone suggesting they’re ethically investing while stockpiling short term rental listings as their main “passive income”. 😡 #auspol #InvestForSociety 🤨 #housing

Facts speak ... better economically, better environmentally, better for our health ... just all round a stand up better energy source. Oil, coal & gas usage should be wound up by 2030. That'll 'hurt'. Of course it will. But which is better; short term hurt or catastrophic end of life for all?

A modern wind turbine offsets its entire lifecycle CO₂ footprint in 5–12 months. Financial payback is often around 6–12 years onshore & 10–15 years offshore, with operating lives of 20–30+ years. For wind, the carbon mortgage is usually measured in months. The carbon savings are measured in decades.
