I believe, and I don’t think I’m alone in this, that Australia, not Washington, should decide if US forces can come here and how long they can stay. It’s extraordinary that the government doesn’t share this belief. More here thenightly.com.au/politics/ric...

Your regular reminder (so you know I haven't died) that no amount of money can buy back the ecosystems and agricultural productivity that the climate damage from fossil carbon mining and burning causes. A gas tax without an explicit plan to wind down the industry is a plan to destroy the climate.
Hi 94 seat, super-majority @albomp.bsky.social gov, Land & marine heatwaves, fires, droughts & floods Climate change is harmful, fossil fuels cause it, non-fossil alternatives are viable STOP APPROVING COAL+GAS PROJECTS NASA Scientific Visualization Studio:Global Temperature Anomalies 1880-2025
Yung En Chee@yungenchee.bsky.social · 4w agoDedicated to the 94 seat super-majority @albomp.bsky.social govt on the occasion of the Labor National Conference 2026 They promised #ClimateAction but have approved 36 Coal & Gas new/extension projects including some absolute carbon bombs, since coming to power Wonder if they recognise the tune 🎵
'...nowhere in the geological record is there evidence for the average temp of our world climbing as quickly as it is now. This means 10x faster than during the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum… and at least 20x faster than at the end of last glacial period.' www.newscientist.com/article/2581...
Earth is heating up faster than at any time in its history | New Scientist
To understand where climate change is heading, we have to look at the planet’s distant past and appreciate the disturbing uniqueness of our situation, says Bill McGuire

Here's my story from Pine Gap. "The fight to end the US military occupation of Australia (and the entire world)" It's a photo-essay this time because I took a tonne of pics, the country being this stunning, to help convey the Arrernte's struggle.

Richard getting it absolutely wrong here as most economists do. The answer to environmentally and (yes) economically destructive technologies and behaviours isn't to cut the public in on the profits. Some things we just need to stop to save the climate and biosphere.
On Arrernte Country in Alice this weekend for the convergence on Pine Gap, calling for land back and the closure of this dangerous US base.
A reminder that just because the US is shit, it doesn't mean China is good. RIP to a good Hong Konger who died in exile in Taiwan.

Lindsey Graham was an imperialist warmonger who supported every major US military intervention during his career. He did not care about humanity, or international law, or even US citizens. He served the interests of the US capitalist class and the US proxy regime of Israel.

That isn’t social cohesion. That is creating a hierarchy of racism where some victims are seen as worthy and others are seen as an afterthought. We’ve seen this pattern over and over again. The budget included more than $600 million in Antisemitism measures, but did not mention Islamophobia once.
Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.
Mike Burgess is a Mossad agent. Obviously. Why don't you sack this lying piece of shit, @albomp.bsky.social. I guess it's because you're both on the same page of gaslighting and lying to the nation. #auspol #SolidarityWithIran
Sounds exactly like the Australian Albanese Labor government’s political agenda. Both the UK and the Australian Labor party’s political agenda are in lockstep. Who is deciding this agenda? Who? #auspol

I'm expecting a tsunami of lies in One Nation ads during the next Federal election campaign. Fear-mongering, hate-filled, racist lies. There are STILL no laws at a federal level to regulate and retract misleading political advertising. Australians deserve better. #auspol
The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.
Albanese Labor Party win brought with it great expectations to carry out critical structural change. Particularly with a once in a lifetime huge number of seats in HoR. Their refusal has removed trust and credibility, leaving a deep sense of betrayal. The LNP and ALP both toxic brands. #auspol
Hanson is a massive whinger. Anyone worried about her should be finding ways to talk to the people who listen to her. Highlighting just how much of a massive whinger she is and always has been
