"Quietly, and with surprisingly little fanfare from the rest of the world, Australia is pioneering a revolution in home renewables and battery use, proving what is possible with the right policies." #auspol #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Have I misunderstood or has Richard Marles just paid billions for some AUKUS submarines from the op-shop?

sounds about right

The Von Trapp family have already been through this. They will NOT be performing in the Freedom 250 concert

Amazing story this morning on AM about a conservative legal organisation, the Samuel Griffiths Society, lobbying the govt on High Court judge appointments. AG Michelle Rowlands refused to comment. Lobbying govt for judicial appointments should be illegal.

The decision to abandon our sovereignty, blindly support US aggression and spend at least $368b on second hand submarines beggars belief. Labor’s desperate attempt to avoid being wedged on AUKUS is proving to be politically,militarily, strategically and economically incompetent.

Behold the Three Amigos - Awgie, Tilly and Me!

30 years ago today, Michael Hutchence presented Oasis with a Brit Award and during the acceptance, Noel Gallagher said, “Has-beens shouldn't be presenting awards to gonna-bes.” Afterward, Michael secretly re-recorded the INXS song "Elegantly Wasted" to include "I am better than Oasis".

Cool how Australia’s startup dudes spent April submitting their applications for R&D grants so they could then devote May to calling the Govt a bunch of … (checks notes)….. socialists. 🤔 #auspol

Good.

Have the AUKUS planners considered just telling everyone the submarines have already arrived but nobody can see them cos they’re already out lurking?

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Clare O'Neil calls out the Coalition’s “huge mistake” in 1999 to change CGT & gift investors taxpayer handouts, saying it turned residential property into the country’s “most lucrative, low-risk investment”💥 “The tax system should not drive investment decisions”💯 #auspol

Lol the “budget backlash” Insiders keep talking about only seems to be coming from wealthy types sooking theyre losing their handouts.

New South Wales Police. Some coppers are bigger bastards than the rest. Under a Minns Labor government NSW Police has been permitted to continue its violence against the vulnerable. This is everything a Labor movement is supposed to oppose. #AusPol #NSWpol

They can’t point to a single instance of antisemitism by an arts organisation, while there are dozens of cases where official pressure has silenced pro-Palestinian voices. This is pure political intimidation by the govt and its official pro-Israel lobbyist.

Silencing freedom of the press. Essential for all dictators.

Golly gosh. A real shame this bill is being pushed through under budget urgency because automated decision-making regimes like this should be subjected to close and sceptical scrutiny in select committee — with experts and the public able to make submissions on this dramatic administrative turn.

Many secular organisations encourage Australians who do not actively attend or believe in a faith to choose "No religion". This helps prevent the government from using outdated data to justify religious privilege in funding, chaplaincy & policy-making. #auspol #NoReligion censusnoreligion.org.au

BBC's usual weasel words whitewashing Israel. Only near the end, this: "[Ministers defended] 'voluntary migration' of Palestinians from Gaza - which could amount to the forced displacement of civilians, a war crime - and resettling it with Jews." aka #EthnicCleansing to follow the #GazaGenocide.

Oh.
