Just who closed Australia's oil refineries? www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Looking for some good news??? NSW JUST BANNED NEW COAL MINES!!! My piece w @ebonybennett.bsky.social on @thepointau.bsky.social : thepoint.com.au/news/260321-...

Perhaps worth noticing, again, that prior to the Howard-Costello 'baby bonus' policy shift of the mid-2000s, immigration to Australia was a pretty steady 100,000 a year, for half a century. It's now levelling off at 3 times that.

A #gas export tax of 25% ensures domestic prices will be cheaper than exports. It also means that the government gets a fair share of revenue. Scrap the PRRT, its a failed tax. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Great week to get the gas meter shut off 🥰 Feels good to finally be able to be all electric! (Still some final bench fittings incoming for the induction)

$2.3 million p/a… going rate for a #climate criminal. ‘[Woodside’s] Ms Westcott's "fixed annual reward" (FAR) will be $2.3 million, which includes base salary, benefits and allowances…. ‘ #auspol #scarsborough www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

It seems that the huge good news that,in the midst of a global energy crisis, electricity bills are falling, is largely ignored Where are the front page headlines? #renewable energy is doing the job of lowering bills for consumers

The brilliant David Rowe (editorial cartoonist, Australian Financial Review) delivers again ..!

"My entire life is a lie" she said after scrolling the news. chaser.com.au/general-news...

Japan, South Korea and Singapore are heavily reliant on Australian LNG (and even more so noting Qatar’s LNG is now unavailable). Australia is heavily reliant on Japanese, South Korean and Singaporean refined fuel. I hope our diplomats are thinking what I’m thinking. #auspol

Be pretty cool if you could get cars you just plugged in.

NSW just banned all new #coal mines We are in a #Climate hole The best way to get out is to stop digging! au.news.yahoo.com/nsw-ban-coal...

NSW electricity bills are going to fall by a lot in 2026 It's all renewables fault The Australian Energy Regulator proposes that prices would fall by between 1.3 & 10.1% for residential customers, while small business prices would drop by between 7.6 & 21.2% www.news.com.au/finance/mone...

I guess now's a good time to say I got a heat pump 3 months ago and it's great (short 🧵)

Got some good news about fossil fuels

What unites the Greens, One Nation & the independents? Right, Left and centre agree The #gas industry pays too little tax Of course the "Uniparty" can't offend its donors michaelwest.com.au/hold-my-beer...

The federal government is in structural deficit it seems interminably Here is an idea Actually tax the LNG ( and gold) industries LNG prices soaring, but gas export taxes aren't search.app/DmpQq

The NACC continues to be a joke

"The government might be wishing Australia taxed its LNG exports as much as the royalties on iron ore, and better still, coal. "LNG prices are soaring, but we only get 2% of that on top of the company tax, compared with 7% for iron ore and 13% for coal." 👏👏👏 @alankohler.bsky.social #auspol

#HardTruth: While feigning concern, it’s actually Govt policy to let fuel prices rise (early). It reduces fuel demand (up to 10%) which is important when you’ve gifted billions to the US & UK for #AUKUS and not spent a dime on addressing low fuel stocks #25DaysDiesel #FOI #auspol

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

Inpex originally reported just 4 tonnes of benzene, a chemical classified by the WHO as a class 1 carcinogen — Other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) linked with health risks, including toluene, were also drastically revised upward. #Auspol I’m sure they’ll face a jail sentence for this. (Sarcasm)

Was going to escape the news by doing some woodwork in the shed, but an unwelcome visitor is having a meal there.

#Inpex #LNG facility in Darwin harbour & #Santos' leaky LNG plant are classic cases of "jobs and growth" costing too much. The bonus of a job is cancer for free with a corrupt NT EPA turning a blind eye to clear breaches of emissions levels Darwin is a #gas chamber www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Wow it’s been a long time coming Bruce but there’s a glimmer that we might actually live to see it!! 😂 Interesting aside … latest Santos report doesn’t appear to mention Narrabri project??? Renewables eating the lunch of gas?? 💪👊

The high cost Narrabri gas project has been like waiting for Godot It was first touted in 2011 & has been delayed ever since Santos is still yet to make a final investment decision Domestic gas reservation, landholder & native title concerns make it as far away as ever ieefa.org/articles/nar...

Japan is re-exporting Australian #LNG competing against us in core markets. It makes their claims of energy security ring hollow. ieefa.org/resources/ja...

The drumbeats are growing louder for more tax on #gas. A strange coalition recognises we see little revenue from this industry. @davidpocock.bsky.social, parts of the union movement, the Greens and now One Nation realise a simple royalty or tax is needed. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/one-n...

If “adhering to Australian values” means leaving 11 Australian women and 23 blameless children in appalling conditions in Syria, please count me out. Jo Bond, South Melbourne The Age, letters

Whatever political compass Albanese had has gone if he thinks he can be dismissive about voter’s anger at resources companies not paying enough tax, and questioning Pocock’s sincerity in raising it as an issue

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

California grid electricity demand continues to decline despite 2.5 million EVs and lots of data centers in the state 2026 Demand on CAISO grid down 1.84% v '25; 1.22% v '24; and 2.27% v '23 Due to growth in behind-the-meter roof PV, which eliminates need for grid electricity

Seeing that young man on the ground, held down by two NSW policemen, repeatedly punched in the kidneys on both sides, sickened me. We can only hope that the inquiries into the police properly examine the brutality clearly on display.

Looks like the Ace of Diamonds is the new opposition leader in Australia Angus Taylor "The new climate religion has little basis on fact and everything to do with blind faith" @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social

When the Australian Financial Review makes a comment on Capital Gains tax like this, you know its a foregone conclusion In today’s environment, the blanket 50 per cent discount is just difficult to defend and apart from the Liberals, no one is defending it. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

This used to be called bribery and corruption with jail and fines if caught. Now it seems to be normal business practice. And we wonder why we are getting poorer and our infrastructure and social services are turning to shit.

Let's get this straight. Adani donates $600k the Qld LNP before election. After the election, Qld LNP ends legal action over $400 MILLION in unpaid royalties. Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy. Thread. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If you still support fossil fuels, bioenergy fuels, nuclear, carbon capture, or bioenergy fuels, you are on the wrong side of science and history.

Ummmm?? This is unexpected from the AFR. The times they are a-changin'?
