The AEMC forecasts average household energy costs will fall by about 20 per cent, or $1000 a year, over the next decade under a coordinated renewables rollout. Fully electric households deploying solar and storage could slash costs by as much as 70 per cent. satpa.pe/RWRIlx7

James Tate A woman discovered the greenhouse effect 168 years ago. Her male colleagues refused to let her present her findings. Then they erased her from history. This is the story of Eunice Newton Foote, the scientist who predicted climate change before anyone believed it was possible.

Doctors have "a professional and moral duty to stand up against the #GazaGenocide". Western governments - like UK's and Australia's - have a legal, moral and humanitarian duty to do the same. #SanctionIsraelNow #auspol

David Pocock: “Like many Australians I was frustrated & angry about many decisions government made that clearly weren’t evidence-based or in best interests of Australians. I’ve come to see why: a lack of transparency and broken lobbying rules.” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21450/...

Israel has completely destroyed over 1,000 buildings in the Zeitoun and Sabra neighbourhoods in Gaza City this month.

Trump's termination of federal grants for universities has jeopardized lifesaving research breakthroughs at Harvard Medical School — including treatments for cancer and developmental disorders. His attacks on higher education will hurt us all.

This is a very precious handful! Socorro doves are one of five #birds listed as extinct in the wild. The entire surviving population of roughly 200 birds are all in the care of avian experts.   Eight chicks hatched at Chester Zoo this summer. It's a big boost for this incredibly rare species! 🌎🦇🐦

The stark truth of AUKUS keeps becoming clearer and clearer. Now a key Washington think tank says Australian should only get US nuclear subs if we quietly surrender our sovereign control of them in secret “contingency planning” meetings with US officials.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Chevron gets all the gas they export from Australia FOR FREE and sell it for massive profits. They have never paid PRRT and they got busted big time by the ATO for corporate tax avoidance. But somehow they just have to cut 300-400 jobs. thewest.com.au/business/oil...

There is still no baby formula allowed into Gaza. Israel is not only bombing and shooting a starving, exhausted civilian population, it’s banned baby formula. Babies under 6 months can only have breastmilk or formula. Their mothers are starving and have no milk. Milk. Must. Enter.

I would like to suggest that national funding is made available for small local newspapers to safeguard their digital story archives as, frankly, good luck to any future researcher trying to find news stories from the last 25 years in 25 years time www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2025/news/pr...

Fossil fuel lobbyists have more influence on government decisions like the North West shelf gas project than the public. We have a right to know who's walking the halls of Parliament and talking to Ministers and senior public servants.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
