Weeks from state election, @albomp.bsky.social announceds $30 billion investment, over a decade, for Osborne, South Australia, nuclear powered submarine building shipyard. That is the vision from this out of touch, deeply institutionalised PM. Why not a stagecoach factory too? 🤦🏻🤷🏼 #auspol

“Extreme heat is the most common cause of weather-related hospitalisations and deaths in Australia, and the baking temperatures and poor housing conditions of the NT make Aboriginal people especially vulnerable.”

“If the cheaper home battery scheme was modified to say we won’t keep subsidizing your brand of battery unless you provide interoperable, documented access to control it over the local network, then that would happen instantly.” reneweconomy.com.au/australias-h...

If the cap fits. My @smh @theage cartoon.

A reminder: ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of energy in their fuel. EVs are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain making it 3-4x more efficient.

Good to see an MP call it truthfully

Saddened to hear the news that Australian cartoonist Jon Kudelka @kudelka.bsky.social has passed. A good man. 😢 🎨 #auspol

Thanks to your support, our full-page ad is in today’s Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Over 1,000 Jews and thousands of allies have signed our open letter to say that Israeli President Isaac Herzog is not welcome here. Help us spread the word!

A climate disaster levy could raise billions of dollars a year from gas and coal exporters to cover the skyrocketing cost of disaster response and recovery. Join more than 30,000 Australians and sign the Australia Institute's petition: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/climatedisas...

A callout for Australian Jews: add your name by Friday 9am! We are taking out a full-page newspaper advertisement next week to send a loud message that Herzog is not welcome here – this is your opportunity to add your name at the link below. www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/02/peti...

In the context of $billions being splurged on #AUKUS, this is Defence scratching about to find loose change down the back of the sofa.👇 🛋️ 💵 #auspol

They should not have invited Herzog to Australia. Now the police are saying they have concerns about how his visit will cause “significant animosity”. The Albanese Government needs to withdraw this invitation now!

Australia emerges as “global proof point” of a major structural change in electricity grids around the world, with #grid scale batteries overtaking peaking #gas generation.

Solar and #wind offloading hits record levels, with #solar farms in one state offloading 59 pct of their potential output due to local negative #prices.

Some of these corporations pay less tax than the tax paid by a sole pensioner buying ONE cup of coffee a YEAR! Those causing climate heating not only don’t pay tax, they don’t pay for the climate catastrophe damage or the rising costs of living or insurance caused by climate change. Make THEM pay!

It’s too early to assess how wildlife and ecosystems have been impacted by these fires, but it’s likely significant in some regions/cases. And, science suggests these events will only become more likely if our governments continue approving fossil fuel projects! www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Shouldn’t be happening! Oz has enough solar to power the planet! apple.news/ABTiMIUNPT2C...

“The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, told Victorians: “We’ve got your back”.” This coming from the PM who approved the extension of Woodside’s North West Shelf project, which is expected to generate 4 billion tonnes of emissions over 50 years, further fuelling these fires.

In last week’s #heatwave, wind and solar generation were excellent, as they typically are on extreme demand days – certainly doing more than just ‘fuel saving’.

Wondering whether the dithering whimp @albomp.bsky.social will ever wake up to the fact that Murdoch is the most mendacious manipulator of minds in this nation. What he did, and continues to do to the political system in America should see his fetid propaganda outfit banned in Australia #auspol

Oz could take a closer look at this🤔 www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/a...

“So, when do we start talking about duty of care and criminal negligence” Exactly. Has anyone seen, heard, read of a journalist challenge @australianlabor.bsky.social on Labor’s approval of 32 new coal oil and gas projects since May 22? Please tell.

A question for fearless journos out there to put to Australia's political leaders. Why do we have > $300 billion to attempt to buy submarines but not enough $ to pay more fire fighters & support staff & to buy more urgently needed firefighting equipment, so we have sufficient resources when needed?!

Make the fossil fuel industry pay! “Victorian premier declares state of disaster in 18 areas as bushfire crisis continues” apple.news/AgqiZgwSBQ6O...

“New technologies will come along to save the environment.” What they said versus where we are: From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

$100 billion to pay for rebuilding oil infrastructure in Venezuela? We could all have solar & EVs & save the planet instead.

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

Reflecting a small fraction of incoming sunlight to reduce global heating is not a new idea. “Let’s be clear: SAI is no substitute for cutting emissions…” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Extraordinary, breathtaking imagery. But deeply upsetting ecological change is underway, that will impact communities and culture. This is the very real impact of climate change. And yet, Australian governments keep approving fossil fuel development projects. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...
