Immoral scum

This billionaire is trolling hardworking educators—and making jokes about gutting supports for special needs kids.

Or do what so many premiers have done across🇦🇺 Dear PM...it's⌛this government is ran through the Caucus where backbenchers (especially the new members ... are likely to recall why their community🗳️for @australianlabor.bsky.social The Environment issue is enormous as is fairness in GST%̳share #auspol

“It is revealing that so many politicians become lobbyists or consultants. Most are short of other skills. They leave with a bucket of turkey grease and a knowledge of which hallways to slide down.” #auspol

Consulting firm Accenture received $78m in a contract for the website aspect of the overhaul. BoM has faced criticism in the past few years for the nine contract extensions made on the Accenture contract – which was originally supposed to cost $31m.

Australia Foreign Minister Penny Wong made Time's list of 100 influential climate leaders in the "Defenders" category. And I just... I just... What.

“So there was our PM, a man who talks and lives in all lower-case letters, sitting up at the table with the man who lives permanently in an all-caps world.” 🔥 🔥

Stop the killing. My @smh @theage cartoon.

No media about this? NSW Police investigated 14 incidents of alleged antisemitic attacks and found NO evidence of Iran or any other foreign agent acting in relation to the 14 alleged antisemitic incidences The Minns and Albanese govts both exploited this falsehood to further their own agendas .

After years of research, scientist Leonid Pshenichnov concluded Russia + China cannot continue fishing krill, the main food source of many marine creatures, at current rates without risking breakdown of entire ocean ecosystems. Russia had him arrested: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

And worse - on the day they launched the abomination, in Victoria (and SA) we were facing dangerous weather. The rain radar - BoM says it's their most consulted page by far - was insane. You had to either allow your location to be known (I don't think so) or enter your town name - over and over ...

Blatant lying. Which community? Their own consultants? On Facebook BoM said they had to close comments because they didn't have enough moderators. Comments I saw were screams of anguish, just as on Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit. The original reg.bom.gov.au must be the most freshly bookmarked site ever.

Mark Doery testified that nothing about Thomas Sewell's conduct was offensive to him - this isn't that surprising. He recently attended the National Socialist Network's Nationals function in Ballan and marched with the group on August 31 at their March For Australia event.

"Solar Trees: Koreans have built a major innovation in renewable energy: tree-shaped solar structures that can generate as much electricity as traditional solar farms—without clearing forests. Solar trees could also benefit cities by powering EV charging stations, while providing shade.

Missing important page. Missing individual radar pages. (Seems to be a design decision rather than a bug.)

Admiral Chris Barrie doesn't hold back speaking to the Climate Crisis Summit in Canberra, saying the expansion of fossil fuels was a “failure of national duty”. “Security analysts are blunt, cascading climate impacts will drive instability, insecurity and conflict,” he said. #auspol

LIKE FREAKING CLOCKWORK

Like, I used to think I could find the interiority of any kind of character and at least make you understand them, in fiction. But I think of this dude and all that comes to mind is satire.

While gaggling with press on AF1 at 2am ET, Trump claimed an anonymous “great US citizen” paid $130M toward the US military salaries amid shutdown. US DoD annual budget: $170B for active-duty, reserve, and related pay costs $14B/month or $3.3B/week ~$466M/day $130M covers 6.7 hrs for 1.3M+ troops

Stonepeak is a private equity firm founded by two Australian billionaires, Michael Dorrell and Trent Vichie. Dorrell owns the only private island in Palm Beach, Florida. Vichie’s company, Everwind Fuels, claims to be a developing “green” energy alternatives. Now they’re human traffickers.

Bow to? How about *work with* the Greens and respect the carefully considered advice of environment and climate experts! It's really not the hard, should @australianlabor.bsky.social want to do the right thing. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

They’re doing this because it’s so successful

“Watt may have to turn to the Greens” for reform of environmental laws. About. fucking. time.

In 1975, Australia lost more than a Prime Minister — it lost its independence. The CIA’s hidden hand in Whitlam’s dismissal still echoes today. ~ Bevan Ramsden The role of the United States in the dismissal of the Whitlam Government independentaustralia.net/life/life-di...

"In a statement to Guardian Australia on Tuesday, Watt said: 'No one will get everything they want'.” Not true, minister. The fossil fuel companies will get *exactly* what they want. But of course, you know that. You work for them. #environment #ClimateCrisis #auspol

The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens. Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies. This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

Stunning writing Stunning observations Watch how our society in all its facets - built by men, designed by men, produced by men, predominantly controlled by men - works to protect the man every time (From the BBC drama: The Following Events Are Based On A Pack Of Lies, on ABC iview I believe)

The ballroom will be replacing the East Wing www.enr.com/articles/616...

Defacing the physical space that represents decades of powerful American women and replacing it with a box in which the expectation is for women to dance. It’s not just a metaphor, it’s their entire plan.

What a deal. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Always take sentences using “the Cloud” or “the Internet” and try replacing those phrases with “A shed in Virginia” to see how they hold up. “Our service is fully based in a shed in Virginia”; “All my files are in a shed in Virginia”; “A shed in Virginia was designed to survive a nuclear war”, etc.

Which is what the global 'critical minerals' beat-up has mostly been about -- defeating regulatory controls on mining and mineral processing. Worked a treat.

Trump meets Albanese, and leaves with his wallet, his keys and his bank details.

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more. Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages. It Was Never About The Hostages.

Two coal power units in Victoria tripped on Thursday and nobody realised, because a gigawatt of wind and solar was available to step into the breach. Six of the state's 10 coal units were out neatly replaced by batteries, renewables, and a bit of gas. #energy #climate

Note: Trachoma still affects First Nations in Australia. You’d think we’d make an effort to eliminate it since we’re a really rich country but eh gotta give tax breaks to mining companies

Stunning essay: 'The system has worked. It has delivered. Waiting for its collapse is not a strategy; it’s a coping mechanism ... We need to see China’s achievements clearly, without the reflexive “yes, but” that immediately minimizes them.' www.sinicapodcast.com/p/the-great-...
