Gas reservation on new gas only🤦‍♂️! A 0% domestic reserve on massive amounts of existing gas and a 25% reserve on tiny amounts of new gas won’t do anything for electricity prices. A big win for the gas cartel. A massive loss for Aussies. #fail #auspol

Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response. Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

I suppose someone has noticed by now: 11/9 New York (2001) 12/10 Bali (2002) 13/11 Paris (2015) 14/12 Sydney (2025).

"If Israel is trying to subvert & undermine our civil liberties in order to force our society to support genocide and apartheid, then we have every right to do everything we can to subvert & undermine the interests of Israel. ...The west's support for Israel needs to be brought crashing down." 🎯

Two truths about submarines. 1) Small non-nuclear subs will outperform large nuclear subs in shallow water. 2) Modern affordable conventional subs that can be delivered will outperform costly nuclear subs that never get delivered. #AUKUS #auspol

"A child killed at Bondi is not more human than a child killed in Rafah or Khan Younis. Empathy that stops at the borders of identity – religious, ethnic, or national – is not empathy at all; it is tribalism masquerading as ethics." #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/12...

Man this is such a good read. The entire purpose of power sector CCS is to sort of hover tantalisingly on the horizon but never actually materialise. From my personal collection of planned projects (this isn't even 'projections' or scenarios - the future lines were all real projects!)

So France's Naval Group and the Indonesian government managed to team up and is currently building submarines. Yet Australia cannot and instead opted for surplus and then 'future' new subs under Aukus. #news #auspol #navy #Aukus #submarines www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2...

Because they are white, the media calls them a “brat pack” not white gangs. Remember when the racist Australian media spread fear of (nonexistent) African gangs and white people feeling unsafe to go to restaurants? #ausmedia #auspol

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

In a national address, US President Donald Trump claimed the Gaza truce he helped broker brought peace to the Middle East “for the first time in 3,000 years.” Trump’s statement comes despite ongoing Israeli ceasefire violations and near-daily attacks on Gaza.

Few issues unite progressive and conservative voters. Ending corruption is one of the few exceptions. Read Helen Haines' full op-ed on The Point: thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

ABC News might do well to note that the Liberal Party of Australia currently has the first preference support of just 1 voter in 5 in Australia. Clearly its leader's views warrant some coverage based on that. Question is how much.

Can someone please explain how #AUKUS works now that the TRUMP security strategy aligns the USA more with Russia than Europe ?

What I find hardest to believe about the last 10 years in the US is how an entire country of 350 million people has just stood there & allowed this utter madman to run amok, destroying its institutions, its civility, its global reputation. Has America no self-respect at all? 😲

The hydrogen bubble has burst. Nearly 60 major low-carbon H₂ projects have been cancelled or paused — far more capacity than the world has actually built. The reason? Fundamentals still don’t add up: • Demand isn’t there • Costs remain high • Infrastructure is missing www.ft.com/content/b098...

Even more US military assets coming to Australia. More US bases. More US weapons. Celebrating a dominant foreign government sending its military into our harbours and cities and taking multiple footholds here … it’s cringeworthy, tragic and wrong.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids. Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km. We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.
