The record "was high due to high wind and solar generation, with both technologies generating 10 times the amount they did in 2015." www.energylivenews.com/2026/04/03/r...

@lbc.co.uk “Sometimes there is too much wind for our outdated grid to handle, especially in Scotland & East of England. Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper ,or even free, electricity.” Govt on X.

Well that’s some good news. At least they got the right guy.

Nothing says 'not a crisis, don't panic' like the prime minister deciding to hold a covid-style address at 7pm on the last day of parliament for a month, ahead of a hastily arranged press club address, just to prove that yes, this government does hold a (petrol) hose.

1/2 "It is difficult to imagine a conflict of interest of more potential consequence than the leader of an ascendant, nativist political party being sponsored by the richest person in Australia, who has a vested interest and a clearly articulated political agenda of her own."

Bwahaha I just saw the Maccas ad Sometimes you cook a delicious meal 🤣🤣 They’ve gotta be kidding Maccas is not a delicious meal It’s junk food

Next week's podcast for @ettemedia.bsky.social sorted then

So the whole thing was just a distraction from the Epstein files after all. So many dead to hide crime and appease Israel. Trump claims he is considering ‘winding down’ war on Iran, saying other countries can ‘police’ strait of Hormuz – live

Donny’s friend. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could solve the gas crisis – and raise $17 billion every year at the same time! Australians are tired of the gas industry not paying its fair share of taxes and royalties. #auspol

Every time a missile is fired, a drone is activated or ship attacked the oil tanker insurers go, "nope". It won't matter which political party is in government in Australia, the problem through the Strait of Hormuz remains. Ceasefire now. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support. #PartyToTheCrime

We can stop AUKUS! getup.to/mzM1pOt1CXPAcJ

A fair summary … open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...

Heartening to see the Iranian women’s soccer team given humanitarian visas. Australia can be a refuge for those fleeing persecution. Aussie women and kids should be brought home too — no matter who their father/spouse was. Kids and mums aren’t something to kick around like a political football.

"We will only use this power to block people from places like Iran legally coming here in specific situations, like any that we can't use as a photo-op." chaser.com.au/national/bur...

The NACC works exactly as intended when the Albanese govt set it up. Everyone in the APH can get on the beers tonight’s knowing they’ll always be safe.

#Loto #Auspol.

"A war that is quite clearly illegal under both American and international law – but, you know, whatever. It’s not like the Australian government, which frequently points to the “international rules based order” is willing to say that either."

Under Albo, Australia is a fawning, compliant vassal state of genocidal Zionist Israel and a corrupt warmongering USA. We DO NOT have a Govt that upholds human rights or int'l law. Deeply ashamed of our Govt's complicity in genocide and war crimes. #auspol #Israel #USA #Palestine #Lebanon #Iran

Tim Wilson is emblematic of all that is wrong with politics in this country. #Auspol.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

lotta rich people screaming about government spending. Easy solution, Ted. Stop giving billions of our dollars to expensive schools, franking boomers, and landlords. Nothing more inflationary than free money for the rich who produce nothing but speculation and bubbles.

Front page Epstein files story today reveals Steve Bannon told Clive Palmer to spend $60mil on anti-China and anti-climate change ads for the 2019 election. D’ya think this could be why we want our media to ask “who’s behind this & who does it serve?” rather than just reporting “pollie said this”?!

somebody please organise an opportunity for that community to grieve.

This image is dedicated to all the Zionists madly blocking me right now Herzog signing bombs that will be dropped on hospitals schools universities and family homes

Bad guys with guns. My @smh cartoon.

another manhunt circus. Do another press conference, chief. Tell us more about your helicopters and his mad bush skills or whatever. Maybe a Premier could chest beat about bail laws and tell us police are awesome at keeping Australians safe.

Bloke autographed bombs. Investigation complete. #AusPol

"The legislation is so broad, and because it's been rushed through, we haven't actually even investigated the unintended consequences." Chief Political Analyst Amy Remeikis breaks down the new anti-hate speech laws on the latest episode of Follow the Money! @amyremeikis.bsky.social #auspol

I just signed this open letter to the ABC. getup.to/w7rGDZc9Ck79sw

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

I just signed this open letter to the ABC. getup.to/w7rGDZc9Ck79sw

Trump just announced new tariffs on Germany, UK, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland—over Greenland. Yet he claims to have struck "comprehensive" trade deals covering 7 of these 8 nations. If "deals" don't bind, why negotiate? Extra credit: What has he done to U.S. leverage?

Imagine a political ideology so evil, so despised, so racist and murderous, so globally unpopular - but also so entrenched in Western establishment depravity - that your government (with the opposition), would seek to make criticism and protest of it illegal. Imagine that.

99% of media is one giant gaslight

"This was a watershed moment in Australia's cultural scene. To have so many people withdraw and for momentum to build so quickly is unprecedented. It really does speak to our collective power, and that's what sustains me." - Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Quote of the day by Socrates: 'The secret of happiness is not in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less'

It was all about tolerance, social harmony and inclusion, blathers the Premier who just tanked Adelaide Writers Week. And is still publicly attacking Dr Abdel-Fattah. He should quit while he’s behind. #abc730

Word limits above so it is important to add they apologised for “how the decision was represented” to Dr Abdel-Fattah. Not for the decision itself.

The Australian Labor Party has been disappointing of late. #auspol.
