@valentenya.bsky.social what happens when you properly tax fossil fuels. @hakonnordhagen.bsky.social, norweigan pleading "can someone please come and talk some sense into our politicians in lead of this madness". Sound familiar?

Zali, climate warrior, forgot to mention that the largest source of methane in Australia is agriculture. Where is the asking for accountability and action in agriculture? Oh, that's right, there isn't any when your donors families are making bank in farming, right Zali?

Teals + David Pocock = racism. We know this, because all of climate 200's candidates who are able to vote for compulsory income management have done so. Given she's receiving backing from the Murdoch family, she'll well primed to be racist too. #teals #racism #MichelleMilthorpe #Murdoch #Pocock

Hi @bloomberg.com this is Australia's CENTER LEFT government in action: Penny Wong, Foreign Minister, gifting Trump's Secretary Of State Marco Rubio, with a football sweater bearing the name of South Australia's largest gas company, Santos. Number One: fossil fuels + right wing govt.

Australia's energy transformation is renewables icing hiding a fossil fuelled cake. Our reality: Australia uses the largest amount of diesel, per capita in the world. We have fossil fuelled billionaires buying politicians. The world's largest coal port. We have no plan to decarbonize.

Melbourne, Australia based @tryst.link market themselves as an ethical tech company for SW. When your search for black SW turns up white SW, AND you charge SW for ranking visibility, we're looking at below par programming, racism, and complete lack of ethics. Do better.

“Deputy Commissioner Rose, the delegated decision maker who decided not to investigate the Robodebt Six, has a diploma of hotel management as her highest academic qualification”

Family farmers are not earning money on their farms, they're losing money, which is why they go bankrupt, sell up, and commercial farms who do make money, buy them up. More land, control, + power. Australian farmers = more money from carbon credits than farming, 103800000 acres are offsets.

Can you explain the bankruptcies if farmers aren't cash poor, @sarahtaber.bsky.social ? They're farmers Sarah, with increasing costs such as insurance, and debt from climate change induced weather such as floods and droughts which affects crops + animals.

Why doesn't the Aus Gov own fossil fuel projects? The reason why @garethhutchens.bsky.social is because govts who do, like Norway, are in the #epsteinfiles for corruption and are owned by Equinor. @andyscollick.bsky.social + @hakonnordhagen.bsky.social are all too happy to explain:

Norway's Equinor, which is taxed at 75% has an annual revenue of $107 billion (2023). It's CEO, Anders Opedal, earned $1,964,000 in 2023. The Prime Minister of #Norway, Jonas Gahr Store, gets paid $182,000 per year. Santos? Revenue of 8 billion (2023). CEO: 8.4 million PM Albanese? $586,950

"Through their efforts, more than 20 queer refugee newcomers have already been resettled in Australia, arriving from countries including Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iran and Yemen. These newcomers have been welcomed into communities across Victoria, NSW, Tasmania, the ACT & Western Australia."

Let's talk about farming. 🧵 The family in this article have a dairy farm, on 326 acres, which is apparently worth around 2 million. Understand that a millionaire is an individual whose net worth or wealth is equal to or exceeds one million units of currency. Farmers like this are not millionaires.

How Albanese's "improving voters lives" is working out:

Wondering @sarahtaber.bsky.social, re: why the only mention of Australian farming from you = pink lady apples. When the richest farming landowner in the USA = John Malone with 2.3 million acres, why have you been so silent about Gina Rinehart with over 23 million acres? Do non USA farmers not exist?

Good morning ☕️

sloth listening to good music

One Nation is telling the truth here. Every Australian Government has put money in people's pockets. We now have 170 billionaires in Australia with loaded pockets. No plan to fix that policy failure. Quite the opposite. #auspol #Australia #OneNation #billionaires #AndrewForrest #GinaRinehart

I love how these bureaucrats, every time, are like "rest assured we take our obligations seriously and take appropriate action" when they demonstrably fucking don't. Every state, every provider, both private and public, needs harsher, proactive regulation. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

If your friends on Substack don't want to read any of the long essays and articles about The Substack Problem, send them this @anildash.com explainer video. (From his @pastduepodcast.com interview.) It's not just Nazis, it really isn't. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWdS...

It's actually kinda interesting to see my kids being pretty cautious/sceptical about the limitations and problematics of llms while big brane deep thinker™ grandpa is out here trying to fuck his ipad concubine

Several indigenous American tribes held onto the concept of "two spirits" -- two genders coexisting in a single person -- until white European Christians came along to beat it out of them with their Bibles.

Australia's university and arts sector is learning fast that Australian authors don't fuck around when it comes to human rights and freedom of expression. Libraries, Festivals, Publishers all need to learn the authors they rely on do not compromise. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

We are kicking off the campaign by sharing our powerful, personal stories with political decision-makers. We are going to let them know what the NDIS means for us and how devastating cuts will be to our lives. www.dpacaustralia.net/get-involved...

"There comes a point when you simply have to stop, and acknowledge your efforts are wasted, and further, that your work deserves better than to be surveilled with such racist contempt at the behest of people cheerleading the occupation, mass murder, and dismemberment of your people."

Maybe one day he should try it

It's so tiring @ournewhomecoach.bsky.social. We have fossil fuelled billionaires. The world's largest coal port. The largest use of diesel per capita globally. Fossil decline? 😂 climateactiontracker.org/countries/au...

Australia says no @akshatrathi.bsky.social. Fossil decline? What fossil decline? Electricity is not all Australia's energy use, as the story you reported about Australia being the largest user of diesel per capita in the world shows. data c/o @iea.org: Australia = largest coal port in the world.

"After Kumanjayi Little Baby's death, Coalition demands government re-engage on Indigenous debate..." When this is Australia's government ⬇️, do you see the problem here? #whiteaustralia policy, anyone?

Hi Bluesky, Would someone let the followers of Tony Windsor know that he's a colonialist farmer who's against land rights for First Nations? His electorate is called New England for a reason... fyi @omarsakr.bsky.social @ournewhomecoach.bsky.social @joneshowdareyou.bsky.social

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Next week, on 13 May 2026, my office of all women at Johnson Legal will be heading to the High Court of Australia in Canberra for the first ever climate hearing in this Court. The judicial system is open to the public. More info here 👇👇👇 www.johnsonlegal.au/newsfeed/mac...

Out of 55 authors, 17 have now left University Of Queensland Press. #UQP @omarsakr.bsky.social warned UQP, and they refused to listen.

How's that "surge" in home battery installs going @ournewhomecoach.bsky.social? We have 10,874835 households, so that's 3% in 10 months in white home owning households in comparison to approx. zero of the 200 remote aboriginal communities in energy poverty. BTW, those 🔋installs? 60% = 👎 #AusPol

Why her family has asked her to be called Kumanjayi little baby: 🖤💛❤️

Removing petrol excise temporarily and dropping the price of fuel isn’t just about compounding our financial pain through inequality, It sends a signal that we love making Australia's billionaires even richer, because guess who consumes the most diesel in Australia?

Amy = the Dolly Parton of our nation.

There has been a determined and organised campaign to imprison climate activists, defund and sue climate organisations, promote climate deniers, sack climate scientists, fund climate denying media and back in the opponent of any political leader who makes it too much a priority.

Michael Klapdor is a dead set legend who is a go to for much information about governmental skulduggery by so many such as @antipovertycentre.org @squigglyrick.bsky.social @asherwolf.bsky.social. He is democracy in action, and I'm incredibly grateful for his service.

The Parliamentary Library is amongst our most underappreciated democratic institutions and their staff are unsung heroes. Good luck with the new job.

Andrew Forrest remains one of Australia's largest polluters. Prime Minister Scott Morrison was voted out of parliament, aided by the #1 EDM hit "Coal Makes Me Cum". Andrew Forrest's core business is iron ore, reliant on coal during steel manufacture in China. Last diesel subsidy? $300M.

Communities across regional QLD in Chinchilla, Tara, Dalby and Allora voted for David Littleproud. If they saw the economic benefit of renewables, why did they vote for him @maranoagirl.bsky.social, @qldaah.bsky.social? theyvoteforyou.org.au c/o @oaf.org.au ❤️

How is taxing gas in the best interests of the Australian People? Norway has shown that by taxing fossil fuels, you increase dependency on fossil fuels, emissions and corruption. The Australia Institute's Ketan Joshi: ketanjoshi.co/2024/02/26/w... Norway's politicians in the Epstein Files:

Why should the Australian Government be allowed to implement AI @jeremynadel8.bsky.social when they can't answer a phone? Priorities, anyone?

How can we tax wealth eg 170 billionaires? Who will point out the fact that a gas tax, as Norway has proven with state owned Equinor, means more deaths, pollution + emissions, which costs Australia more? Can't have wealth on a dead planet @paulkarp.bsky.social. www.equinorout.com

FIXED POVERTY

There's nothing progressive about killing people with gas, or killing people with a lack of healthy affordable accessible food. Norway taxes fossil fuels, and has starving people. Taxing gas to fund foodbanks is not a proven poverty solution. fyi @antipovertycentre.org @artistaffame.bsky.social

@qldaah.bsky.social no matter who is in power in QLD: those previously in the fossil fuel industry now approve fossil fuels AND renewables in QLD. Which do you think they're going to fast track? If and when renewables happen, $ from fossil fuels like Forrest's Squadron, w/ death reports.

Re-upping this thread for those asking my opinion on electric vehicles in the context of the big need for better cities with a lot fewer cars, a lot less driving, and zero car dependency.
