Konrad Benjamin on fire in today’s gas tax inquiry, says those claiming “we can’t afford anything” are full of it, we have plenty of resources to benefit from
“This gas issue is the perfect eg of how it’s a lie”
“We’ve been sold out”🔥 #auspol @punterspolitics.bsky.social @australiainstitute.org.au

Dr Richard Denniss dismantles the gas industry’s favorite threat.
If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄
“They are playing us for fools.” 🔥
Nationals’ Susan McDonald has no rebuttal & scrambles to change the subject. #auspol

Wow so lucky to not be hurt.

He’s 100% right.

They’ll tell you a city run grocery store is “unrealistic,” but somehow BILLIONS to bomb, destabilize, and kill is always “necessary.”

When working families can’t afford rent, food, or healthcare, the answer is never help them,
but war spending gets a blank check.

Lunacy!👇

Four frames. Angus Taylor and journo. 1. Angus: “We need to decide who we let into this country...” Journo: “We already do, through our immigration process.” 2. A: “Yes, well we need to make sure they respect our values…” J: “They already have to pass a values test.” 3. A: “Well, we need to ensure they don’t breach these values…” J: “We have laws, and consequences for people who break them.” 4. A: “Something something people from Gaza…” J: “It’s hard coming second to Pauline, isn’t it.”

All he’s got.

Will one of John Farnham’s most loved songs be banned? - ABC Religion & Ethics How did Australia’s perennial pop sweetheart find his 1988 chart-topping song “Two Strong Hearts” unexpectedly implicated in current debates over hate speech laws? Does this suggest the states’ approa...

Older Australians to receive free RSV vaccinations The federal government program that already offers free jabs during pregnancy will be expanded to include over-75s, amid concerns about grandparents catching the virus from children.

I’ve asked the govt repeatedly for equitable and uniform vaccine funding & availability, including expanded access to RSV immunisations. It’s great to see them funded for Australians 75+. We still need funded meningococcal B vaccines for all young people. More to do www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

There shouldn’t be any out of pocket cost for any vaccine. Weighed against the cost of an unvaccinated population, it’s a no-brainer.

Being critical of the Israeli government committing war crimes is not antisemitism.

Lawyer Nick Hanna and the Palestine Action Group celebrating outside court today

NSW's fascistic anti-protest laws, enacted after Bondi and to allow Isaac Herzog, a war criminal, to tour without opposition, have been defeated in court today. The Appeals court found the laws "impermissibly burden" implied constitutional rights. From the river to the sea.

This is excellent. Farnsy flashmob in Brisbane in response to new Queensland hate speech laws which outlaw the phrase ‘From the river to the sea’.

Such an awesome way to protest

Sky News Is Still Lying About EVs and Batteries - Here's what they just said... YouTube video by The Electric Viking

When are we going to take misinformation seriously and put the sources of it out of business.

How spewing these lies does Sky still have a licence to operate in Australia?

Adam Morton Chris Bowen to begin Cop31 climate summit president's role remotely Chris Bowen's role as president for negotiations at the Cop31 climate summit in Turkey later this year will kick off remotely. With the fuel crisis raging and Bowen giving daily press conferences on the government's response, the climate change and energy minister said he would not fly to Berlin next week for the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, an annual meeting of representatives from about 40 countries. A spokesperson for the minister said he "considers his travel carefully" and would not fly for the meeting hosted by the German climate action ministry on Tuesday and Wednesday. "In this instance he will take advantage of the virtual attendance and continues to engage closely with all his international counterparts. Australia will also not be represented at ministerial level at the first global conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels in Colombia starting next Friday.

Australia's energy minister is skipping global meetings on accelerating the phase-out of fossil fuels because he has to stay in Australia to deal with the fallout from not phasing fossil fuels out fast enough.

$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn by end of 2026

Israel's right-wing activists are not happy that the world is turning against the country. Their fightback isn't pretty. The rhetoric that helped enable the Holocaust is increasingly being used by Republican congressmen against Muslims. The stronger the criticism of Israel becomes, the more dangerous their language.

"When asked to convey sympathy to Lebanese Australians whose families are being terrorised and killed by Israel’s invasion, the PM could only mouth tortured circumlocutions and, as Ette Media pointed out, not even say the word Lebanon." @lucyham.bsky.social

Seppo President attacks Australia, again. You haven't asked us to sail our Navy into the Strait of Hormuz, you bloody galah. You're causing no end of pain down here, mate. #auspol

The war on renewables is really about protecting fossil fuel profits As global fossil fuel prices surge amid conflict, attacks on Australia’s energy transition are intensifying – driven by industry interests that stand to lose from cheaper, more reliable renewables.

Attacks on a renewable energy transition are driven by,

👉 fossil fuel industry interests
👉 political IDEOLOGY
👉 misinformation about renewables and electric vehicles.

Transition is urgent to mitigate climate change and ensure our national security

NSW’s highest court strikes down anti-protest law introduced in wake of Bondi beach terror attack Court finds law – which effectively meant protesters could not march without risk of arrest – is unconstitutional

We said this law was unconstitutional, and it was unconstitutional. Not because we're clever, you could spot the invalidity from Jupiter. Politicians make these ridiculous laws knowing they'll be struck down, as a measure of their own cowardice and lack of seriousness.

Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from the Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction yesterday during a Pentagon prayer service

People ask if Pete Hegseth just quoted Quentin Tarantino's version of Bible Viewers noticed familiar "Pulp Fiction" language in a prayer Pete Hegseth recited at the Pentagon, which he said is a tradition.

Hegseth plagiarised Pulp Fiction. Can Trump’s administration be any more insane?
