“Australians agree that our resources belong to us. Gas that is exported from this country should be paid for by the gas companies that exported and a 25% has export tax is the way to go. - Senator David Pocock ✍️ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax: https://theaus.in/4sCn5Jx

CCA cables are dangerous & by definition cannot fit any CAT or ANSI/TIA standard. they’re considered a problem in the industry bc wholesalers looking to make a quick buck will sell them with claims they they’re up to standard: they’re not. also they’re a fire hazard

Thanks to Gwenaël Velge for this write-up oif our latest video. I've actually been meaning to make an episode about this "national interest"™ bullshit which is being wheeled out not just in Australia but also in Canada (eg. Ksi Lisims LNG and PRGT pipeline) and New Zealand (eg. Denniston Plateau)

Everything is terrible and horrible. So here’s a different kind of war — cats vs. dogs. Cats can be mean! Poor bulldog probably has a TBI now. 🤣

Following the new laws yesterday, when I post on social media to express my view that the Israeli Netanyahu Government has deliberately caused a genocide to occur in Gaza, am I now committing a criminal offence? #auspol

Why is losing ice from land a major problem for people living near the ocean? Using a miniature beach to demonstrate one of the many impacts of going past #planetaryboundaries, the Planetary Boundaries Science lab asks "Is sea level rise worse than you think?"👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4ao...

I’m tired of getting emails for services with essentially “we laid off a bunch of engineers to better serve you and that’s why we’re raising our prices. To serve you. We promise it’s for you. And not just because our CEO needs a bigger bonus. Enjoy the same service, now with ads, at a higher price.”

Statement from our client Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. It is a tragedy that Adelaide Writers' Week has been destroyed, for nothing. However, this is a massive win for artistic freedom and hopefully a turning point in this time of unhinged McCarthyist witch-hunting. Randa is a hero and we love her.

"The average mortgage pays $200,000 in profit over its life to the banks," says Richard Denniss, co-CEO at The Australia Institute. You can read more on good ideas for economic reform on The Point. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Climate scientists Ailie Gallant & Alex Dunne educate RWNJ Malcolm Roberts on science, & explain that “in the case of climate change there is not strong disagreement” among scientists. Roberts “There isn’t?” It’s like he was born yesterday.🤔 #Estimates

The Senate President also not taking sh*t today, even Shoebridge copped it. This was after a slug out by Faruqi/Whish-Wilson/Wong over Israeli’s genocide in Gaza, which saw Sue Lines lash Senators repeatedly. David Pocock’s reaction at the end 🤣 It’s been a hell of a day. #QT

The approval of new coal and gas follows the UNFCCC “SSP5 - Fossil Fueled Development” scenario. which means *at least* 2.7°C, but more likely ~4°C by 2100 The government’s NCRA has made it clear that even 2°C, let alone 3°C, is disastrous for our environment, society and massively expensive

Little tip: if you want to know what is wrong with Australia's tax system, just read the wealth advice column in the AFR: "If you sell a property resulting in surplus cash to invest, there’s no better place than the low/no-tax environment of superannuation."

‘The way that the media deals with the climate is it’s an environmental story and it’s a future story. Whereas this is a housing story, a cost-of-living story, an inequality story, a role of government story…’ - Richard Denniss, Executive Director @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

There's no point in our governments setting 'ambitious' emissions reduction targets if they won't actually take reducing emissions seriously. Expanding fossil fuels and relying on bogus carbon credits is NOT taking it seriously. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Dr Richard Denniss says the “obvious” ones to pay for damage from increased floods as per the latest climate report should be the Fossil Fuel co’s, as houses will become uninsurable “The insurance industry will not help ppl in 20yrs time with their flooded houses”💯 #Estimates

“I can’t stress enough the number of variables that just aren’t included. This is a minimum cost,” – Richard Denniss at estimates re National Climate Risk Assessment. “What you see in that report is the best-case scenario.” via @themandarin.bsky.social ▶️ australiainstitute.org.au/post/devasta...

Norway's government has a new tourism ad out, and it's refreshingly honest By @thejuicemedia.bsky.social!!!!

If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us. Follow @climate.us for launch updates.

“At the moment Australia literally gives half the gas we export away for free. Zero royalties, no PRRT paid on half the gas we export.” Executive Director Richard Denniss chats with 3AW about how Australia is giving away most of our gas for free. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Madeline King has launched a new report on the "economic potential" of carbon capture and storage - the rhetoric is polished; the facts are not. “Every dollar spent on CCS is a dollar not spent on proven climate solutions or on needed services or infrastructure.” @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

Every single young Australian would need to order 4,888 t-shirts from Temu each year (13 per day) to match Woodside's current emissions. And to reach Woodside's maximum emissions estimates for the North West Shelf Extension? They would each need to order 214,571 t-shirts. #woodsideenergy

You MUST watch this exchange from today’s Tx House debate on anti-library HB3225. “This is about your desire to make sure that children have access to sexually explicit materials,” says the bill’s author. “Rep Alders, do you know what I have done for a living?” Says @voteannjohnson.bsky.social

Another helpful election analysis based on the numbers* + thoughtful insights about what happens next, from Richard Denniss @australiainstitute.org.au * if that's what you're after (if not, this might not be for you!)

Absolutely overjoyed to read that Independent Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social (from the ACT) has been re-elected. Senators from the states serve 6-year terms but senators from the 2 territories (ACT and NT) only serve 3-year terms. Pocock has done outstanding work as a senator. #auspol #AusVotes25
