Some people know no boundaries - Vegemite toast update!

Good to see someone calling out the fossil-orchestrated lies around electrification. Yes NMC batteries use nickel and cobalt, both somewhat problematic. 1. No, NMC batteries won't dominate forever, though they may for small mobile devices. 2. No, most nickel is not used to make batteries.

Right now, Australian beer drinkers pay more tax than gas companies pay in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could solve the gas crisis – and raise $17 billion every year. ✍ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax: https://theaus.in/4vVOQzq

Everyday wading through the news seems to be an exercise in trying to work out what you actually should be angry about and what is just rage-bait that should be ignored.

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

To achieve real change boomers need to disappear (I say as a boomer) but younger Australians MUST grab the opportunity to BUILD THEIR FUTURE That’ll involve dismantling the party system and demanding deep reform of the body politic Or, walk blindly into repeating the failures they see in boomers

"Where it all went wrong" is a fantastic book; even though I lived through those years, and have read widely on the subjects, I wasn't aware of the entire picture. (I'm now reading "A time for bravery"

When you vote for a party candidate, your vote WILL be hijacked. First by FACTIONS and then there'a queue and an agenda - their IDEOLOGY 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭. 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐕𝐄 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬

Brilliant Brisbane evening last night. Forthright & sage @amyremeikis.bsky.social and the indomitable Ellen Fanning with cogent critique of John **** Howard's reign. Amy's book 'Where it all went wrong: the case against John Howard' is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ @ebonybennett.bsky.social

👏Woohoo!!! 'What is happening is that the Coalition’s historic base is being reshaped, the two-party system that dominated Australian politics for the better part of a century is being slowly pulled apart, and a new structure is emerging underneath. ' www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...

I had a quick read through, which bits didn't you like?v maybe I glossed over them. ALP won't tax gas appropriately because they are weak AF.

It's Grattan. What do you expect?

If it's really true that he's under little political threat - what a damming assessment of Australian voters and our body politic! I'm speechless at the implications of that.

Because he’s a lazy coward who has no interest in improving the lives of Australians. He sides with the rich every time.

Me on: The times seem to suit Anthony Albanese. So why isn’t he more popular? theconversation.com/the-times-se...

'Least worst'? WTF?

The answer is super obvious. Because he frequently puts the interests of the rich, multinationals and foreign powers before the needs of everyday Aussies. Australians are good at seeing through charlatans. theconversation.com/the-times-se...

Australia? Nah - Labor don’t have an urgent forward plan to mandate a shift of the economy to renewables We could be an energy superpower But who voted for that vision .. or indeed any vision in this country We have the “leaders” we deserve Labor has told us about the light on its hill

Guess that polling is very anti-Labor at the moment They flew a flag in the media and Australians said “Get F’d Back” This is a turnaround - an internal fight And it leaves us exposed as a nation - no refineries and no urgent mandated plan for renewables

Many tributes today for legendary ABC broadcaster James Valentine. That he was able to avail himself of the Voluntary Assisted Dying laws enacted in NSW in 2023, is testament to the passion and advocacy of Andrew Denton, among SO many others. A dignified leaving. For that, many thanks are due.

His self interest is ever front of mind.

Pfft! All it means is the wind is changing direction

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

Invisible things. My @smh @ theage cartoon.

“Just do it, and stop the crap.” 💥🔥 You can see why gas giants are worried. When the guy who wrote the book on Australian tax reform calls for a 25% gas export tax this bluntly, it would be gross negligence for the government to ignore it. Thank you, Ken Henry. #auspol

Would we need to be bleeding resources needed by Asia much more if we - an energy super-power - had an urgent forward contingency plan in place mandating a shift of the economy to renewables? We’re a decade late Our national security at stake!

IDEOLOGY delivers treachery again - never SOLUTIONS This should not even be a question. Australians are again being ripped off by career politicians, the duopoly and IDEOLOGY favouring foreign corporations bsky.app/profile/gekk...

Labor could be setting an example - be an exemplar of modern democracy, caring , compassionate, fair, good taxes, and putting up good arguments against the neocons…. Like I said … they could … with such a majority they could set the narrative …. but they don’t 😞
