I agree with the Liberal Party. Net zero is a scam and we should abandon it. It's like saying it's OK to commit murder as long as you pay a surrogate to have a baby at the same time. Also, that it's ok to procure multiple murders in another country because that's the other country's problem.

2009 He had accepted a chocolate Freddo Frog worth 70 cents from a friend who had allegedly stolen it. 'But the incident is far from amusing. The case gave a revealing insight into the entrenched racism of WA's "justice" system. Indigenous people in WA are the most imprisoned people in the world.'

I think this is absolutely correct. The right wing of politics has been very quick to harness this anger and turn it to their own ends, which are mainly 'make rich people richer'. The mainstream left has resisted and tried to be the 'sensible centre' when they should be for radical redistribution.

Robodebt is not an isolated case, and the same sort of s*** is still going on. We need a much more fundamental reform of both the system and the departments that administer it.

I wish the Liberals had won the last election, Peter Dutton is the best PM we never had.

You have got no boxes and they have got billions of boxes. But it still is not enough. But thank god they are spending all your money on military police to 'protect us'. Aren't we lucky?

"In light of CSIRO's role as the appointed monitor of the methane leak, on this occasion it gives rise to a perception that the reason for their passivity and secrecy can be attributed to the financial relationship between the CSIRO and Santos," - Senator Waters www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Nauru is not just a floating prison. It has its own history and culture. The last 100 years of their history have not reflected well on us. Now we are exploiting them once again to house people who would be much better supported here in Australia. paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...

We should all be thanking Donald Trump for ending WW2, and therefore supporting his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

After a long hiatus I finally got back to writing about degrowth. paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2025/08/livi...

“Inner Morality is your aim. Your aim is to be Christian. But for that you must be able to do –and you cannot. When you are able to do, you will become Christian.” — G.I.Gurdjieff, ‘Views from the Real World’ In the meantime, by all means drink up! 🤪

She got sanctioned for holding this sign. Israel did not get sanctioned for engaging in genocide. Go figure.

Never let the forces of evil (aka fossil fuel companies) make you give up! Thanks @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Given the massive egos involved and the volatility of both men, I'm surprised they held it together for as long as they have. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/u...

We have less than 10 days to stop this. I've just signed the petition calling on the new Environment Minister to reject Australia's biggest fossil fuel project. SIGN NOW! nb.australiainstitute.org.au/reject_north... #rejectnorthwestshelf #nonewcoalandgas

Not sure if everyone's heard this news yet.

Some personal thoughts from me on the sad death of Pope Francis, and on the legacy he has left for environmental justice. paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2025/04/fare...

If we continue burning fossil fuels and warming the ocean, coral reefs will become a thing of the past.

The only Liberal Party ad you will ever need.

Atmospheric CO2 has passed 430 parts per million. T'was only 315 ppm when I was a lad ... a big increase in one lifetime. www.statista.com/statistics/1...

Here's my list of things that can be done to really Get Australia Back On Track: 🧵 1. Fully oppose Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people, and stop all supply of weapons and parts to the IDF 2. Cancel AUKUS, and develop defence relations with others like Japan and European countries /

Hamas offered to release them all around 9/10 Oct 2023. Israel told Hamas to fuck off.

Isn’t it weird that being a conservative today means the only thing you don’t want to conserve is the planet. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We are more than half way through the campaign and neither Lab nor LNP have announced a major Env policy in era of extinction, biodiversity collapse and accelerating global heating. Cost of living is only a concern if you are living. Fiddling while Rome burns. #auspol

This is silly. Why would you say who you will work with until you know the outcome of the election? All they need to say is 'we will negotiate to get as much of our agenda up as we can, with whatever party will work with us'. Exactly what the major parties say. www.abc.net.au/religion/lua...

The Coalition’s gas modelling contains a big admission: we don’t need new gas to increase gas supply. They plan to lower prices by diverting uncontracted gas for export to the domestic market. New projects are not needed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

The US EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has introduced the 'roll-back' of various environmental regulations, talking disparagingly of 'climate change religion'. You'd think he sees religion as a bad thing, which is odd given the rabid religious element of MAGA. insideclimatenews.org/news/3103202...

Well @kudelka.bsky.social I believe it's that time again.

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN

Meanwhile, in other miraculous news... www.smh.com.au/national/vic...

The AEMO annual gas report is due to come out and it will be reported with a stack of scare lines, pretty much all of which will be bullshit. How do we know? Because it happens every year and every year they are bullshit. A great report out today australiainstitute.org.au/report/media...

This week we will see Treasurer Chalmers factor in Cyclone Alfred into budget. Why are we paying for the damages? Why aren’t fossil fuel companies being charged a levy on every tonne of export coal and gas to provide disaster relief? Either we pay or those responsible for disaster do. #auspol

You know you're doing something right when your enemies pay this much attention to you.

Labor are enemies of the environment. So too the LNP, ToP & PHON. If you value the many benefits nature provides, vote for candidates & parties that listen to & act on scientific evidence. No EPBC reform package, but protection for toxic salmon. Labor, lol. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

People talk about Dutton proofing Parliament, well we need to Albanese and Dutton proof the Environment. They support ongoing native forest logging, a massive expansion of export coal and gas incl Woodside NWShelf. They both support draconian anti protest laws and weakening EPBC for salmon. #auspol

At this point you wonder if any other legal figures would be willing to get involved with the Lehrmann curse, given the number of reputations it has trashed so far. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is no laughing matter to be brushed easily away @jimchalmers.bsky.social A growing number of Australians want governments to take real #ClimateAction. To stop approving new coal and gas. Arresting us will not fix your Co2 fuelled climate disasters. www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

Media saying tomorrow will be one of the hottest March days on record. And major parties… Open another coal mine. Approve another gas field. Log another native forest. 😩😩 #auspol
