WA's gas and electricity prices have tripled since 2020, after the WA Gov let Woodside export domestic gas reserves. Now Woodside want a 50 year extension for their North West Shelf export terminal. If it's approved, it will lock in higher prices for decades. #auspol @markogge.bsky.social

Tourism employs about 100. www.abs.gov.au/censu... Doesn't show that the salmon farm should be shut down, but does show (again) that nothing in the Murdoch press should be believed.

Brilliant article. There are some economists out there still pretending that the private sector is this great efficient allocator of resources that works best when govt's reduce regulations.... I seriously wonder how they have even learned to tie their own shoe laces they are so ignorant.

"With the $1.36bn salmon industry supporting more than 5100 jobs across Tasmania and one in two jobs in the west coast town of Strahan" This, by Geoff Chalmers of the Oz, seemed dodgy so I checked Census Quickstats. There are *20* aquaculture jobs in Strahan out of 300. www.nationalagricult...

“The notion that Peter Dutton and David Littleproud are opposed to Offshore Wind because they’re born again environmentalists would be laughable, if it wasn’t so terrifying and damaging,” said John Grimes CEO @SmartEnergyCncl #energy #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/dutton-vows-...

It won't stop him. Confiscate his land, however it won't make up for the decades of unmitigated land clearing with barely a slap on the wrist. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"The Australian and Northern Territory governments are subsidising the cotton industry by $42 million per year, as it is not financially viable with private investment alone."

The cotton industry says that cotton in the NT won't hurt rivers because it will be rainfed (dryland). But, our analysis shows that cotton can only be profitable in the NT if it is irrigated. Read about it here: 👇 territoryrivers.org.au/report/revie...

This is an issue that Pacific Islanders pretty much have second on the list of concerns re Australia after climate change - and most Australia wouldn't have heard of it Pacific Labourers overtaxed and exploited in Australia - The Australia Institute australiainstitute.org.au/post/pacific...

We can & MUST choose not to repeat the violence & failure of irresponsible water overallocation, blatant over-extraction & harvesting, rampant land clearing & polluting intensive industrial agriculture that has wrecked devastating & irreversible damage in river systems like the Murray-Darling.
