Fight cage on the White House lawns – are there no depths to which this president will sink? Greg Curtin, Nunawading @theageaustralia.bsky.social letters

Leaked docs show that BHP delayed renewables, slowed electrification & weakened their climate commitments. And BHP reportedly received $622m in fuel tax credits after paying less than $9m under the Safeguard Mechanism. This is greenwashing propped up by bad policy.

Labor reminds me of poor business leaders. Don’t really know what they want, react to everything, inconsistently argue without any conviction - then implement job cuts and poor judgement hoping no one notices their mendacity. Mean and tricky - like Howard. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Cutting a third of the 15 scientists responsible for ACCESS - a vital computer simulation of earths climate system will impact policymakers both here and internationally The Labor party has become a partisan clutch of jack-booted cretins #auspol theconversation.com/csiro-is-cut...

“It looks like he gets dragged into doing something, when he could lead.” Yep. Labor used to have progressive ideas and a social conscious - now they are more “thoughts and prayers” conservatives.

When you don’t govern for people or the environment you sow the kind of dissatisfaction that breeds contempt and distrust of the political system. Australian policies on environment are similar to those of Trump! Reckless, thoughtless and irresponsible. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Doing stuff - turns out to be a choice!! I wonder if doing stuff is important to Australian politicians?? I mean, doing stuff besides tormenting immigrants and protecting the obscenely rich?

#Auspol pls help. Do you know who is 'Muslim Votes Matter'? Is it a real org, or a fake election warping front, or a real org that's had its identity stolen with a fake website to trick folks into voting for fossil fascist PHON? I don't know! Click on the post below, scroll up for discussion.

Yet another deeply concerning #AUKUS report for our ministers to ignore. Despite the risk of non-delivery and cost blowouts (already occurring), billions continue to be gifted to the US and UK, while social services are cut to balance the budget. #auspol

Welcome to history

I’m appalled that people thought it smart to boo Welcome to Country ceremonies at Anzac Day dawn services. I especially acknowledge Bunurong elder Mark Brown who welcomed us cartoonists at our conference in St Kilda a few years ago. He is decent, kind man who deserves respect. I am so sorry.

I will write about this here in more detail tomorrow, but in case you want to know what I reckon you should know about the latest safeguard data right away... Check this out:

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Noble sentiment I’m sure, but it so often is the way, and mostly deployed by politicians and world leaders.

'...is about the apparent impunity with which Israel now acts, the exceptionalism which it asserts, and the fact that — like the US president who has empowered the Israeli government — there appears to be no normal guardrails on its actions." www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Oh come on

Labor didn’t have the ″⁣ticker″⁣ for a fight with the online gambling lobby. It’ll be the same with the gas lobby. David Cayzer, Clifton Hill The Age, letters

ALP too scared to take on the gas industry that strips billions from our country each year; but not shy about kicking the crutches out from under hundreds of thousands of disabled Australians. So gutsy Albo.

If you’ve seen or heard about Seven’s primetime “special investigation” into renewables, then maybe read this too. By me.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Meanwhile increased defence spending and no changes to wealthy Australian taxes (personal and corporate). I don’t know the people on the NDiS but do they own multiple houses and assets??? Would they miss a few $1000 a year to survive??
