Japanese gas company Inpex has been charged by the NT Environmental Protection Authority over alleged under-reporting of emissions from its Ichthys LNG facility in Darwin, which an independent review found had been “systematically underestimated”.

Something that’s been lost in the NAPLAN reporting today: the equity gap in our school system is growing. First Nations kids, kids living in poverty, and those in regional, rural and remote communities are falling further behind. Most of them attend an underfunded public school.

The UK government tried to bury its own 2024 report warning of food & water system failure as early as 2030. This is now starting to look a bit optimistic.

Water is wet, bears shit in the woods, and more than 80% of kids still using an age-restricted platform, such as Instagram, TikTok or Snapchat. So, was anthony conman telling more lies with the 4.7 million social media accounts being restricted? #Auspol

If BYD succeeds in knocking off Toyota, that will huge. The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries is the peak industry body for car makers in Australia and has been dominated by Toyota forever—an industry person once joked to me how the FCAI office was Toyota's Canberra outpost.

Our world is a tinderbox as we approach 1.5C above preindustrial temps. We’re locked in for at least 2C, & on track for 4C in our children’s ‘lifetimes’. Tumbleweeds as we wait for governments, the media & the public to provide a proportionate response to this information.

As climate chaos spreads, remember, those who had the power to slam the brakes on the emissions trajectory, had the technology AND know-how to do this, but they chose not to. The blame for all the suffering and loss is on them and, in democracies, everyone who voted these people into power.
