So I haven't told the story of my business name, and the best friend it was named for properly on here yet.

I don't really know that I can today. I probably should, but to be abundantly clear: Jem would want you to help keep AYCC alive.

She will have our fucking necks if we fail. 💛

A big majority in Parliament - a 25% gas export tax is a no-brainer for $10B a year. Albo and Jim Chalmers, don't let a good crisis go to waste. Fix Budget, reshape Australia #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”💥

Welcome Federal Court, great to have you here. If you bump into the AEC could you tell them how easy it is to set up a BlueSky account ☺️

APSC battles to bury remainder of Pezzullo investigation The Australian Public Service Commission is arguing that disclosures about a once-in-a-generation code of conduct investigation would harm future inquiries.

The Australian Public Service Commission has argued in the ART that it’s secrecy, not transparency, that gives the public confidence the Commission is doing its job well.

Trust us, we’re from the APSC. Scrutiny is not needed. 🤦‍♂️ #auspol

The RBA’s policy deliberately creates unemployment. So why do we treat the jobless so badly? The way we deal with rising inflation is highly problematic.

At the heart of the RBA’s framework is a concept only an economist could come up with: the Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment, or NAIRU.

The NAIRU is one of various theoretical bullshit models in neoliberal economics.

Dear Media:

Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.

The regulatory environment needs to expand and adapt to fast moving cleantech start-ups with radical propositions that could change the way we live and consume energy, executives said at Semafor World Economy. “The level of technology that we have access to is always changing,” said Kyle Clark, president and CEO of BETA Technologies, which is developing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. “The next step, ironically, is to continue to expand our regulatory acceptance of new technologies. The physics work. We just need the regulation to really get these things out”.

Greg Pfeiffer, founder and CEO of nuclear fusion company Shine Technologies, said “there’s a lot happening on the regulatory reform front that’s really good” but there is always more the government could do. However, “throwing money at the problem is not the solution”, warning it risks creating “very inefficient companies” that can’t make economical products, he said.

Baiju Batt, founder and CEO of Etherflux, a space-based solar energy company, said the bigger hurdle holding back faster deployment is that “there’s not enough capitalism in space”. But the intersection of AI and the space industry is “at the early stages of space becoming a more mature category for venture capital, for growth capital”.

With a 2023 #FOI access refusal under legal challenge, taxpayer funded lawyers are now releasing more & more info on #AUKUS nuclear waste plans. Ironically, one thing the Govt’s been keeping from the public is their keenness to gain a social licence from the same public 🤦‍♂️. #auspol
