Melbourne, join us for a free screening of a new documentary from The Australia Institute! We spoke to locals in Tuvalu, where there are grave risks sea water rise will make the islands unliveable, and reveal what needs to be done to save them. #auspol #Tuvalu Free, RSVP ⤵️

Hugh Bonneville started his live ITV London News interview on Downton Abbey by talking about Gaza.

The Australia Institute has produced an original documentary taking you to Tuvalu, on the front lines of the climate crisis. Join us in Syd, Melb or Cbr for the launch events, featuring climate campaigner & Tuvalu resident Gitty K Yee, with Stephen Long. australiainstitute.org.au/events/save_...

“The sad story of our misadventures in ensuring the nation benefits from the export of its gas is told in a report by the Australia Institute.” Read Ross Gittins' op ed in The Sydney Morning Herald on untaxed gas exports and why the Government won’t change this. @rossgittins.bsky.social #auspol

war isn't a f#$ken action show you Numpties

Warning Canada! Big Gas promised Australians LNG exports would mean plenty of low cost gas and enormous economic benefits. None of it was true. Instead we got gas shortages, manufacturing closures higher energy bills and few economic benefits. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

The iron ore industry pays billions more in royalties than the oil and gas industry. So why does oil and gas get special treatment? #auspol @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social

The ancient Indigenous rock art on WA’s Burrup Peninsula has been deservedly listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Register. But the spectacular Murujuga petroglyphs remain under threat. Scientific evidence reveals that pollution from Woodside's gas export hub has seriously damaged the engravings.

Australia is one of the biggest gas exporters in the world, but we're told to worry about a domestic gas shortage? Might have something to do with the fact that 80% of our gas is exported. We have a gas export problem, not a supply problem. @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

Extract from Lattouf judgement "ABC managers...extraordinarily sensitive to the risk of criticism by The Australian." Shocking, as the Murdoch media now has near zero influence on the Aus public, see recent research from @australiainstitute.org.au 1/3 www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Ju...

If you bet on the winner of the Miles Franklin, your windfall is tax free but if you win the Miles Franklin you pay tax. There's an easy and cheap way for the gov to help our best artists and writers. Make prizes tax free. Thanks to @charlottewood.bsky.social & Melissa Lucashenko for their thoughts

Do not go to the U.S.

Just turned on ABC to get news on the US bombing Iran and they are talking to Scott Morrison? WTF?? Who on earth wants to hear from him? Where can I find decent coverage? #iran

Anthony Rio Tinto = just doing his job.

oh thank god for that

I'm genuinely surprised @aunz.theconversation.com would publish such a misleading article. This is not 'journalism you can trust' it's propaganda. theconversation.com/australia-co... #auspol #climate

A perfect example of the idiocy of “net zero” emissions

New analysis by The Australia Institute reveals that, following the recent federal election, there are now more women than ever in Australia’s nine parliaments, but the Coalition’s so-called “women problem” remains.

why on earth does the 730 report have this Israeli mad woman on the show - it's insane #fixtheABC

"The government sacrificed sovereignty to get security & it looks like we're going to lose both." @turnbullmalcolm.bsky.social & @emmashortis.bsky.social lay out the problems with the AUKUS deal. "The only people we can truly count on are each other: Australians." #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/4e6moCB

The parliament has lost confidence in Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff, and so next month Tasmanians will go to the polls. This is the system working as intended - but it is unusual for a power-sharing parliament to end early. More in my op-ed from The Mercury - linked below.

"Giving tax breaks to people who’ve got half a billion dollars in their self-managed super fund makes no economic sense and it doesn’t make a lot of political sense either.” @richarddenniss.bsky.social in Yahoo Finance ⤵️

Australia, Canada, Norway and U.S. are responsible for nearly 70% of projected carbon-dioxide (CO2) pollution from new fossil fuel projects between 2025 and 2035. Also Australia - "we are a renewable powerhouse and should host COP31" #nonewcoal #nonewgas #climatecrisis oilchange.org/blogs/planet...

It's getting hard to tell what's satire. Thanks for the sanity check Richard

"You're not alone in thinking Australia is getting taken for a ride." Other countries are making a fortune from our gas exports, while Australians pay a premium price for our own gas. @richarddenniss.bsky.social with @punterspolitics.bsky.social 🧡 Our EOFY appeal: theaus.in/support_EOFY25

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Members of the crossbench have written to Deputy PM and Defence Minister Richard Marles, calling for an urgent parliamentary inquiry into Aukus. In April, polling by @australiainstitute.org.au found 56% of Australians support such a move.

“Salmon farming companies should pay a royalty to the Tasmanian government for the use of waters which are ‘owned’ by the state government on behalf of the people of Tasmania,” - Saul Eslake Our research shows the tax paid by the three largest salmon farms has been near-zero. More here:

While the media drone on about how hard it is for people with most than $3 million in super to lose some of their tax breaks, in reality the vast majority of Australians have less than $200k in super. The median for a 60 year old woman is just $158k, which means half of women have less than that!

Good to see @sauleslake.bsky.social calling for royalties on Tasmanian salmon - just a reminder on how much tax they don't pay #politas #auspol #salmon @marineprotection.bsky.social @tasclimateco.bsky.social

"Confected outrage at the very wealthy paying slightly more tax is misguided and misdirected." Great piece on proposed super changes by @gemkillen.bsky.social womensagenda.com.au/latest/dont-...

Peak hypocrisy. Woodside boss attacks young people for "ordering things from Shein and Temu" as her company unleashes a climate bomb, extending the NWS gas export hub to 2070. Our research showed that emissions from the NWS extension would be equivalent to 33 years of Australia’s entire emissions.

A glacier has collapsed. This is climate change - our govt just approved a 50 year extension to a gas export facility - be afraid Australia #northwestshelf #nonewgas #climatecrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

"Gas companies are the gold medallists in avoiding tax," @grogsgamut.bsky.social went to the Australian Energy Producers conference, and explained what you won't be hearing from the execs inside. #auspol

There is no gas shortage in Australia. We don't need new gas wells. We just need to prioritise Australians over exports. #auspol

In approving Woodside's North West Shelf gas export plant extension, the Government has put big gas ahead of Australians. “This expansion will do vast damage and deliver almost no benefit to Australia or Australians," said @rodcampbell.bsky.social #climate #auspol

So @albomp.bsky.social used his thumping majority to deliver Peter Dutton’s gas policy. What a gutless nothing. Proud day I guess for all those who worked in the campaign. Your values being brought to life!

The Environment Minister Murray Watt will approve the 50-year extension of one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel projects, Woodside's North West Shelf. Along with releasing 4 billion tonnes of emissions, this decision will result in $215 billion worth of gas given away royalty-free. #auspol

People still wondering about intent. Israeli minister: “I say to the prime minister, ‘Dear prime minister, we must not give them humanitarian aid. We must not give them fuel…’ Our enemies deserve only a bullet to the head!” aje.io/d9wxs3

One of the world's leading rock art specialists has accused the WA government of producing "propaganda" to support its view that Woodside's controversial North West Shelf gas project should be allowed to extend, labelling government-produced documents a "disgrace to Australian science".
