"The timing, conduct and terms of ref of any RC should be structured so as not to interfere with ongoing criminal proceedings"- but no practical suggestion as to how that can be done in a timely way. Awful word salad from the Law Council and an awful position: lawcouncil.au/media/media-... #auslaw

Could an electric vehicle – a silent, smooth, and technologically driven machine - ever truly inspire that same, profound level of devotion as a combustion engine? The answer, according to Stan is a resounding and very emotional, “YES.” Great piece by my friend Rosco from @amazingev.bsky.social

The last time NSW cops got more power over protests they beat the seven shades of shit out of Hannah Thomas. Every law you make to empower police against Nazis, will be used against environmentalists, unions and all social activists. This has always been the way www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

With a claimed 600km WLTP range, the Kia EV3 compact EV promises a lot on paper. But what happens when you're climbing mountain ranges, navigating truck-heavy highways, and relying on charging infrastructure that might not exist - or might not work? youtu.be/ZQrPu5aePlY

Imagine a government had legislated for return of asbestos use or removing speed limits or unregulated pollution (well, I guess they are) or some other unmitigated, MAGA-lite harmful nonsense

this is a great piece and it absolutely sucks that the outlet went for the ambiguous headline rather. The idea that you can remain on X and "influence opinion" is equally true for creating a new Stormfront account, or a 4Chan account, or a TruthSocial account. Our job is to kills its influence.

Gas demand forecast to plummet by the Treasury of the Australian government. "Treasury sees output from the gas industry falling by 27-29 per cent between now and 2035, and by 67-68 per cent to 2050" The Treasury is, as usual, very conservative. theenergy.co/article/surp...

Good read from David McEwen in @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social Australia risks "becoming a washed-up petrostate with no customers and dwindling financial resources to grapple with mounting adaptation costs to the physical climate risks, simply because we bungled the transition"

Australia’s 2035 target of 62–70% isn’t strong enough. If every country did this, we’d exceed 2.4°C of warming. That would bring more frequent and dangerous bushfires, more deaths from heat and smoke, and 5 times the damage bill. 1/2 #2035ClimateTargets #StrongerTargetSaferFuture
