Linda from Thornbury started her journey on the road to full electrification nearly 20 years ago! It began with 1kW solar panels and a gas-boosted, solar hot water service. #ClimateEmergency #Electrification #auspol

My Afghan friend Kakar, who is in hiding in Afghanistan, wishes to draw our attention to another of the deadly ironies of “living” under the Taliban.

The March GDP figures showed that the focus on economic growth seems rather foolish when you place it within the context of the climate crisis. While the economy did grow in the first 3 months of this year, the big driver was investment in datacentres. #auspol www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

There is no excuse to raise rents because of these reforms. None. If landlords choose to push up rents anyway, that is not the government forcing their hand. It is an opportunistic decision designed to profiteer from renters while blaming someone else - @maiyazize.bsky.social

Miss the good old days when Labor opposed mutual obligations. How far they have fallen and lost their moral compass along the way #abc730

"You're not getting rid of the system of mutual obligations...Were you too afraid of the backlash to root out a Howard-era welfare system?" [Doesn't answer] "Do you think [MOs] are a good thing?" Rishworth: MOs play a rly important role and... is part of the social contract

Disgusting. Labor has seriously turned into a bunch of sociopaths. Punching down on People with Disability is not okay. #NDIS

Am going through the NDIS bill. @markbutlermp.bsky.social is bringing in changes that are the precise definition of cruel. Just a sick joke of a "progressive" government. The cuts to social, economic and community participation will destroy lives.

Yes I'm pissed off with Labor as is every person I know in the Disability Community. Get in the Bin Labor.

Gee I wonder what is worse than the awful opposition not turning up to vote on amendments to Labor's #NDIS Bill. Oh that's right Labor punching down on People with Disability and eviscerating access to desperately needed support services.

Must get my act into gear as there's another online meeting to attend this afternoon on Labor's NDIS cuts. Think I've been to about 5 in the last week, geez. People not happy.

NDIS has always required evidence of significant and permanent disability to enter the scheme . Big business want to profit from the billions of dollars of NDIS money. Not co designed with or for disabled people. #DisabilityRights #NDIS

We’re protesting Labor’s demolition of public housing and the Labor housing minister keeps saying we’ll build social housing when he knows damn well he does not mean public housing.

Anthony Albanese will be immensely pleased that his mates at Santos are being well looked after. After they leave politics, maybe Finocchiaro & Albo will be able to get high-paid jobs at Santos.

Gee, one could be forgiven for thinking that these psychopaths are climate change deniers who don’t give a fuck that you can’t afford the $30K insurance bill after being flooded, or that you’ve lost family members in #FossilFueled fires!

The private space industry concept has put Artemis in trouble, since either SpaceX or Blue Origin are providing the lander, and both of their rockets keep exploding. It feels to me like privatising space is going about as well as privatising other public goods. theconversation.com/blue-origin-...

17 people died trying to cool off in extreme, record breaking May heat. Farage’s reaction? Nothing, his plan is to reverse climate change legislation & drill for more oil. 1 man is murdered by a Sikh. His reaction? We should react with “pure cold rage” It’s not about saving life, it’s about racism.

How can you help our kids build emotional resilience, agency and hope in the face of climate change? 🏛️ Contact your local MP and ask them to support the letter's recommendations. Every signature strengthens the call for climate education and mental health support free from fossil fuel influence.

@ecomind_aus are > 300 climate & mental health organisations, researchers, psychologists, educators, doctors, young people & community leaders who work at the intersection of climate change & youth mental health. They have written an open letter calling for safe, accurate climate science education.

The research is unambiguous: children who understand climate change are better equipped to cope with it. Accurate, developmentally appropriate and psychologically safe climate education and support is not the problem - it is part of the solution.

They claim that climate education causes psychological harm to children. The evidence shows the opposite. Climate distress in young people is not caused by school lessons, it is a rational response to a real and worsening crisis. What leaves young people most vulnerable is not knowing why.

Fossil fuel-funded think tanks (including the Institute of Public Affairs) have spent the last year trying to remove climate education from Australian schools and discredit the mental health support helping young people cope. #ClimateEmergency #Education #auspol

There's no point to gas. For electricity grid peaks, large scale battery storage is better and cheaper. For household kitchen cooktops, induction is better because induction doesn't pollute your home or destroy your indoor air quality like gas does. Even aluminium smelters can go electric.

After more than a half a century of growth, the use of gas in Australia has peaked in all sectors and entered a “structural decline”. But use will need to fall fast to meet climate targets. #climatecrisis #gas #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

SpaceX's rocket crashed into the ocean. The team cheered it as a "rousing success". (was better than the last 2) 🙄 Blue Origin's rocket blew up on the launch pad. And what about NASA? They launched the Artemis II mission, perfect launch, 10 days in space perfect landing. But let's fund SpaceX. 🙄
