True story - provided liberals and progressives turn out the vote...

2025, more power was generated worldwide from renewables than from coal, 91% of new renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels. Renewables made 85.6% of last year’s new global power capacity additions. Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

Good luck convincing voters to “fight and defeat socialist visions” like Labor’s Medicare or minimum wage rises, Angus Because Universal healthcare and liveable wages have done SO much damage to our “standard of living” and “our way of life”. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Regarding Shane Wright’s article on the AI apocalypse (“AI jobs rout hasn’t hit yet in Australia”, 2/6), the more that you use AI, the closer you are to becoming replaced by it. Robert Stephenson, St Kilda East @theageaustralia.bsky.social letters

BREAKING: New numbers show the economy is growing at its equal fastest annual pace in almost 3 years and private sector investment is booming. Today’s National Accounts show the Australian economy grew 0.3% in the quarter, to be 2.5% higher through the year.

In my opinion the bigger question is why did our government hire an #Israeli lobbyist to fill this position? Surely there are many academics with more balanced and neutral views who could have filled said position. #Albo I fear you have made a grave mistake in hiring #GillianSegal! #Insiders #Auspol

🧵Human warming did not begin in our lifetimes. It began in the 1830s, at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. We know because coral skeletons, ice cores, and tree rings kept the record. The Arctic and the tropics warmed first. This signal is nearly 200 years old. None of it is sudden.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social End Aukus

@jennaprice.bsky.social Typical One Nation voters don’t care about policy. They watch Sunrise, Today, Sky and that shapes their thinking Brown immigrants are their number 1 priority 🤷‍♂️ They’ll only ever come around once Pauline (if elected PM) fucks around with pensions, health, education etc

Now Barnaby Joyce is using the inflated platform the media has given One Nation to attack abortion. They just want us to be the USA! They’re not patriots, they just want a dull carbon copy of their favourite country, where everything is expensive and everyone is at each other’s throats.

Oh FFS now @news.abc.net.au radio are platforming new homebuyers that are moaning their houses (that they are living in instead of renting ) are less valuable. The government can’t win. Just stop the bullshit ABC. #rnbreakfast

Today in senate estimates another day looking at the appalling AUKUS deal, how the government is building homes for US troops but not Australians and how Labor is marching us into a US war with China.

Pakistan is now the world's #2 solar panel importer. More than India, more than the entire Gulf. Almost none of it policy-driven. Grid power is costly & unreliable, so households go solar themselves. But does that push grid fees higher for everyone left behind? More soon: janrosenow.substack.com

Says the hypocrite who cheated on his wife and daughters with his younger female employee and voted, repeatedly, against women and girls accessing a life saving vaccine on the grounds that it would make them “promiscuous”

AC is a medical necessity for so many these days. Regions where AC is uncommon are getting dangerously hot.

It would be no surprise at all to see this year and next breach 1.5C - quite possibly by a significant margin - and never again drop back

Economic dunce Matt Canavan is on #RNBreakfast moaning about min wage gain eaten up by inflation. Remember this is the guy who wants to roll back renewables gains to go back to coal and nuclear power which would quadruple costs and hyperdrive inflation 🙄

Real Estate agencies have had a 25 year bonanza, with Howards Ponzi scheme, expect a lot of push back and disaster narrative from them. But like all pyramid schemes, they reach a point of unsustainability and hopefully things will level out now with the tax reforms, rather than a crash & burn.

Do something. My @smh cartoon.

Giving minimum wage earners (about 100,000 people) a 6% wage increase to match inflation, and the 3m or so workers who have awards tied to it a 4.75% is not going to cause a wage price spiral. It means they can buy what they are already buying. Like bread AND milk and maybe some biscuits and fuel

When Dr. Jane documented wild chimpanzees, she did something unheard of in science. She gave them names, not numbers. She saw that they had personalities, emotions, and social lives – and she proved that knowledge and compassion can go hand-in-hand. Photos: Penelope Breese / Stephano Lihedule

“The headline act at a Sydney anti-abortion rally being held on Tuesday in support of Libertarian MP John Ruddick’s bill to restrict abortion will not be Ruddick. It will be the One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce.” #auspol Barnaby Joyce the face of anti-abortion. That’s one for the books.

“One of the reasons these policies are similar…is that the Australian anti-abortion movement is explicitly looking at historical measures in the US." One Notion's #WarOnWomen is fueled by MAGA; a connection which most mainstream media ignores. #ReproductiveRights www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Yep. They’ll be keen to smack down all aspects of modernity Trump style (including science). Gina’s deep admiration for Trump makes for a grim prospect of her driving Pauline.
