Venezuela could fast become another Viet-Nam given its difficult terrain that doesn't lend itself to mechanized warfare. So why attack Venezuela There's no indications it's actually producing significant amounts of drugs but what it does have is Oil and lots of it www.forbes.com/sites/rrapie...

Oh no! Off to Human Rights Commission "26 journalists and commentators, including Andrew Bolt, Caleb Bond, Chris Kenny, Erin Molan, Rita Panahi, Steve Price" #whatsthescam #auspol @kimwingerei.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/racism-human...

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

ABC workers deserve a fair deal—not a step backwards. The current proposal fails to deliver on pay, conditions, and respect for the work you do every day. Vote NO to their insulting offer. #FairDealForABC #VoteNOatABC

Unfortunately, yes, @albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social are that shit.

The Weight of Grief by Celeste Roberge. A sculpture of a crouched figure made from steel and filled with stones, visually embodying the crushing weight of sorrow. The texture and posture evoke a sense of deep mourning and resilience.

What a hypocrite David O'Byrne is. Talks about bullying from No Stadium proponents. The irony when it is the AFL and the Premier bullying the majority of Tasmanians who don't want it. #politas

Because nothing threatens Conservatives more than critical thinking…

#NewsCorpse continues to be where truth, integrity and journalism go to die #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/... News Corp Australia chair says outlets not part of climate crisis ‘denial machine’

You want to see a 1975 approach to the environment? Come to Tasmania! We’ve got littering, dog shit in every park, we still burn our rubbish in backyards FFS. It’s hardly any wonder we salivate to cut down trees and pollute our water. But we aren’t like “the mainland” and that’s the big thing. 🤬🤬🤬

It will financially cripple Tasmania, but hey, let's debate it and ignore the experts! We love shiny things and the AFL said we must. 🤦‍♂️ "The Tasmanian Planning Commission (TPC) recommended against proceeding on a range of planning and financial grounds." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

The Victorians government's "adult time for kids" isn't about safety. Experts are clear: harsher sentences just lead to more reoffending, not less. This is politics at its worst, bowing to the far right & doing nothing to make communities safer.

None of them want to build a new system. Not the ones who want to ditch net zero, not the ones who want to keep it, and not the ALP either. They all want to defend a fossil fuelled capitalist pretence of democracy where we can debate meaningless nonsense while they burn our future.

Just here to remind you that, with “net zero”, we’re having a meaningless argument about a meaningless frame in order to distract from the single most important and meaningful issue confronting us. This is politics today. We should stop wasting time and energy and build a new system.

You beat me to it

What’s even crazier is that Labor has learned the same lesson.

But it's okay guys. The disbelievers, vested interests & lobbyists have it all in hand. They'll make sure we stay on track, to disaster. The political games, lies & tinkering around the edges will destroy our food & water resources ➡️ death & famine. Greay leading www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Curious @fossilfueltreaty.bsky.social, how is #AndrewForrest allowed to skim over the plain fact his fortune is the product of massive pollution? 2.5 million to you = approx .003% of what FMG have made from the Solomon mine, rorting First Nations, accepting massive diesel subsidies. #cop30

Tasmania has become Australia's new logging hotspot, wasting public money while destroying our native forests. ~ Tom de Kadt Tasmania will be a richer state when it protects its native forests independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Perfect post @demwar.bsky.social. #auspol #NetZero #ClimateCrisis

So, @albomp.bsky.social, Murray Watt, @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social, Josh Wilson, & @australianlabor.bsky.social is it a problem that: www.abc.net.au/news/science... * You've approved a climate bomb theconversation.com/woodsides-no... & many other terrible fossil-fuel focussed projects?

The COP30 hears the world temperature is on course to rise by 2.6C above preindustrial times by 2100. Since the Paris agreement the projected rise has fallen from 3.6C but 2.6C would still be catastrophic. Fossil fuel emissions will increase by about 1% this year. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Over the years social housing stock has been sold, real wages cut, profiteering unchecked, local council funding cut. Liverpool has 12,764 households on its social housing waiting list. It has just five "additional social rent dwellings". What is the govt doing? Watch the Minister's reply.

This is a masterclass in offloading the ABC. Run it down by starving it of funds. Fill it with lightweight enemies of public broadcasting. Sell it off. No-one watches anymore.

Annabelle Crabb has the rare ability to trivialise the already trivial, to make light of the insubstantial and to smear humour around creating awkward frivolity. In the past the ABC was intelligent, original and creative but now we have Annabelle who is bland, anodyne and up herself. #NotMyABC

Talk about a cursed set of words

Children could face life sentences for serious offences under Victorian government ‘adult time’ plan

Some astonishing details in here. It’s like reading a recipe for pure corruption.

How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government? In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.

The US should not be allowed to make Australia complicit in nuclear war. 50 years ago Whitlam believed that and he was right. It’s time to end AUKUS. Close Pine Gap.

If you’re getting paid twice the amount of the PM, I would expect you to be able to answer questions about money spent in your role.

Chumps...

England's water industry and govt put out inflated numbers about the cost of nationalisation. I asked the Minister to explain the social cost of leaving water in private hands, likely to be over £1 trillion by 2050. Question was notified in advance. Watch his reply. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eCV...

Stronger police powers tackling masks and face coverings, a ban on attachment devices and bans on certain flags and symbols are part of a suite of government reforms to be taken to parliament on Wednesday.

My economics is pretty rusty but it seems to me that across the globe investors have forgotten to check whether certain corporations can actually produce a product or service, either at all, or at price that consumers are prepared to pay. 🤷

Too little, too late! An epitaph.

Technically it was put forward by Turnbull/Morrison in the 2018 budget. But they never legislated it. Then Labor announced it would not be pursued in the Albanese/Chalmers 2022 budget. And now, backflip 🤔
