Larissa Waters asks former Treasury chief Ken Henry if it’s too simplistic to say wartime gas profits from the war on Iran can either go to Australians, or to overseas investors & shareholders.
Henry “That’s not simplistic, that’s how it is!” “It is as simple as that.” 💥 #auspol
Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥
Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥
This is a great vid. Great historical background to Australia's trade deals with Japan.
Rock pools at low tide, Penmarsh, Brittany
Rugged rocks, Penmarsh, Brittany
A multitude of different coloured sea shells, Penmarsh, Brittany.
The fishing village of Audierne, Brittany
Today, travelling about the SW peninsula of Brittany. It must be amazing during wild Atlantic storms. But it was placid & low tide when we were there.
And the seashells! Such amazing colours!
This is Penmarsh, plus the fishing village of Audierne.
Remember when middle managers Wong and Marles we called into Head Office and met their Divisional Boss, Hegseth
They came home with an American Flag as a souvenir, all hyped up on the company motto - "Full steam ahead!"
That's when Australians smelt RATS!!

Letting one person's 'concerns' prevent a life-saving release of environmental water for wildlife, including turtles, is truly fucked up, and those responsible should all be ashamed.

💯% on board with you there. This is crazy stupidity beyond belief.
There's only one reality I care about when it comes to this horrific invasive plant. Plenty of other pasture species for introduced ungulates to eat.
Same plant. Completely different realities depending on who's standing on the land. 3/3
Ask a conservationist and it's the botanical equivalent of the cane toad — a fire-intensifying, ecosystem-transforming weed that burns hotter than native grasses and swamps everything in its path.
SA & NT have now declared it a weed. QLD? Still sowing it on pastoral properties.

Crazy situation. I recalled the controversy & asked Claude to summarise - too much to keep up with.
One of Australia's great environmental divides: buffel grass 🌾
Ask a cattle grazier in outback QLD or NT and it's "king of pastures" — drought-hardy, life-saving fodder for six months of the year.

The answer is clearly YES. It should have happened years ago. This invasive plant is an environmental and cultural disaster, and we should throw as many resources as possible towards its suppression or, where possible, eradication.

onya TAI; onya Ebony B. This is fantastic
Deputy Director Ebony Bennett is in Barcelona for the Global Progressive Mobilisation, where the global energy shock due to the war in Iran is a hot topic.

Post-consumer plastics recycling is a packaging industry con, hatched over 50 years ago. Brilliantly designed to exploit human emotional responses, it worked a treat. Still does.
Great piece, @robbieb.bsky.social
He's SO right.
What a legacy for Uni bosses... to lay waste to our cultural landscape? Silence the voices of the next generation?.
Is this what you signed on for??
WRONG WAY!

Australia must strengthen regional ties, rethink defence settings, exiting AUKUS, investing in the region, and developing a more constructive relationship with China
Australia needs to reduce strategic dependence on the US

The latest Truth Social post by Trump boasts of war profiteering from the illegal US blockade of Strait of Hormuz, while threatening war crimes against the Iranian people. All in a night’s work for an increasingly deranged US President. End AUKUS, free us from being part of this.
I read the Fail article & was immediately reminded of what Sir Bob Menzies said about HRH:
'I did but see her passing by. And yet I love her till I die"'.
It brought a little tear to my eye.😢
Not sure what's happening?
Not sure if the Strait of Hormuz will be open or closed tomorrow?
Here's a surefire to second guess the Stockmarket! 🤔
Give it a go .. if this app is good enough for the Fanta Führer and his thugs, it might be good enough for you!

This morning I’m writing a short article on the cost of #AUKUS nuclear waste storage and disposal. My office is set up a stone’s throw from the Gloucester River, inside the Barrington Tops National Park, Mid North Coast, NSW. #FOI #WorkFromRoam
Good on you, Gavin.
We all need to find our voice and let them know what we want.
Onward we press.
