There is no longer a prominent typo on the landing page. Just in case you were wondering. 🤦‍♂️

I hope people like this too.. cos unfortunately talking about Aussie animals all day doesn't pay much and I can't cover the mortgage on my wage alone 😂

This is a very big life update, and has been a plan I have been working on for several years. I'm pretty stoked tbh.

Fun fact. $2.55 billion - the total avoided income from this plan in three months - is the same amount that was originally allocated to Tony Abbott’s Emissions Reduction Fund over ten years after he repealed the carbon price.

This is very good.

I am way, way more proud than I should be that I drew this LNG tanker and it actually looks like an LNG tanker.

FOR THE BRAINS TRUST: What are people using for a simple but flexible and adaptable CMS to host websites these days? I've played with Google Sites today, but I am finding it far too limiting. If getting the basic architecture right sucks now, I feel like it can only get worse as my desires evolve.

We have a date! On 13 May 2026, my office is heading to the High Court of Australia for the first ever hearing before that court on climate change. We are proudly representing local Hunter Valley residents against MACH Energy’s Mount Pleasant Coal Mine. www.johnsonlegal.au/newsfeed/mac...

The phrase balls-out insane is overused these days but…

Front page of Boiling Cold today a real snap shot of how unreliable fossil fuels are for the Australian economy. Time to stop faffing around and get on the with clean energy transition as fast as we can.

1/ For those of us keeping an eye on systemic #climate risks, these aren’t difficult dots to connect. I find it downright frightening. We need to brace for impacts and spring into preparedness now. This thread outlines 6 key papers and what we can do in response. ⬇️🧵

Thoughts with all ABC staff who took the difficult, necessary decision to go on strike, only to see senior ABC personalities such as Sabra Lane and Leigh Sales not just cross the picket, but enthusiastically strike-break. Speaking from experience, it's miserable to see senior colleagues do this.

Standing room only. Folks here with bags of shopping, people with pot plants and moving household stuff. Clearly many can no longer afford to drive - importance of public transport network more apparent than ever.

'The real owners of these [gas] resources are the citizens of this very country. And I very much hope and expect that the citizens get their fair share..." - IEA chief Fatih Birol on 7.30 Right now, Australian beer drinkers pay more tax than gas companies pay in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax! #auspol

I like to have fun when I am writing. I have never, ever had this much fun while I'm writing.

Out of curiosity, has there been any shift in the relative power balance between ALP’s right and left after the SA election? (I don’t follow SA politics closely, so other than knowing right has been dominant, I don’t know if a meaningful shift in power is possible given where numbers started.)

A meeting of the Tim Baxters at Repower Festival in Lilydale. Who wore the black renewable energy themed t-shirt better?

'Scientists have issued a dire warning that the widespread death of key eucalypt species in Australian ecosystems could be imminent, due to global heating. Scientists gathered at the Snow Gum Summit last week to discuss combating the loss of an iconic tree'. www.melbournefoe.org.au/media_releas...

Shocking shocking shocking. Albanese goes to a mosque for a photo op, gets heckled (totally reasonable), then without evidence defames his critics as extremists

Albo's response to being heckled at that mosque was disgraceful. Pretending he was booed because the gov banned an Islamic terrorist organisation & not because of his complicity in the genocide. Doubling down on the bullshit narrative. Only the thickest pricks still buy this shit

Glitch shuts Yara Pilbara, Australia's biggest maker of vital fertiliser input ammonia, for two months. The shutdown comes as a quarter of global trade in ammonia, used for urea fertiliser and mining explosives, is blocked by war. www.boilingcold.com.au/glitch-shuts...

Senile git saw the markets were tanking so he took to social media. Maybe not report his every brain fart as truth

While this would be an unusual outcome for a civil fraud trial, I believe he should be given the death penalty

Looking for some good news??? NSW JUST BANNED NEW COAL MINES!!! My piece w @ebonybennett.bsky.social on @thepointau.bsky.social : thepoint.com.au/news/260321-...

The Gas industry now saying a 25% export tax would "stop investment in new gas supply, leading to gas shortfalls" Bullshit. Utter bullshit. 83% of Australia's gas is exported. THERE IS NO SHORTAGE

If (like me) you have had a bit of a tough week and need a musical salve, I cannot possibly recommend headphones-on spacing-out to nothing else until this performance is done hard enough.

A huge congratulations to everyone who decried planned, equitable and gradual emissions cuts as too radical. Now you get to experience unplanned, unjust and whiplash-inducing emissions cuts instead. Maybe lets not make the same mistake again? www.afr.com/companies/re...

The forest and water supply disaster that is Alcoa in WA is brilliantly summarised by @thejuicemedia.com After 3 years covering Alcoa's misdeeds great to see it get the national attention it deserves (and very happy to see 3 headlines and two FOI documents of mine featured). youtu.be/FWrdQxmGlO8?...

Hey @benjamino.bsky.social, Can I please have a couple of new fairly decent choon recommendations for the end of a frustrating and difficult week? I'm leaning towards the Jason Molina end of the scale.

Angus Taylor was the Energy Minister who - delayed and then sat on the fuel security review - did random shit like buying fuel stored on the other side of the world - blocked EVs and fuel efficiency standards Fuck the current government policy but honesly Angus?!

At some stage we are going to have to have an honest conversation with the reality that the only tool that the wizards of macroeconomics have to manage the fact that prices are increasing too fast is to put up the price of everything.

Sigh. Another crypto firm - who like Blockchain Capital are ALSO investors in 'World', the eye-scanning orb crypto scam developed by Sam Altman

I just checked my bible, and alongside the inhospitality and the oppression of the poor, this is the main thing they were up to in Sodom and Gomorrah.

First they came for the hummus and now this...

"LIMITED EDITION" Get in quick!

We deserve everything that's coming to us.

I finally got around to watching Angus Grigg and the Four Corners team's story on the South Australian algal bloom from last night. It's an exceptional piece of journalism. Please watch it. Please share it.

Given February is the hottest month of the year for the Coral Sea (averages 28.8°C for 1991-2020), and it’s currently at an all time record of 29.5°C, you really don’t want tropical cyclones going overhead. Warm water = Tropical Cyclone fuel www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/clim...

The last thing that Katherine (N.T) needs after its biggest flood in 28 years is ex-Tropical Cyclone Narelle going straight overhead dropping more rain. Current ECMWF track does almost exactly that on Sunday. Keep safe, watch BoM warnings zoom.earth/storms/narel... reg.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ...

Back when I was working at Melbourne Law School I had the privilege to meet the former Chief Justice. Even at 90-whatever-he-was-then, he asked me a bunch of pointy and difficult but constructive questions about my thesis. On average, Australia easily lost a half dozen IQ points with his passing.

The Australien Government has made an ad about Alcoa, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

Countries that *did* deploy a lot of renewables & electrification are already faring better than they otherwise would have . Here are some examples: 1/ Pakistan, still highly exposed to Gulf LNG supply crunch BUT estimated to save $12 billion due to solar boom: www.linkedin.com/posts/lauri-...
