The Libs are counting on the idea that they just need to bombard Australians with enough propaganda suggesting renewables cause high power prices, then they can retake power.
Things are going to get pretty nasty I suspect.
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
“Whitlam announced “there should not be foreign military bases, stations, installations in Australia. We will honour agreements covering existing stations. We do not favour extensions or prolongation of any of those existing ones”.”
Oh, how I miss him. #auspol

Do any Labor MPs or senators (besides Albanese and his handful of praetorian hacks) have any say over anything?
Do they care about their own collective and individual impotence? Evidently not.
Did you know that under Australian law the dead can’t sue for defamation? Just a fun fact I thought I’d mention apropos of nothing in particular.
Without the night shift, there is no morning.
Question: 1. How many accounts are members of the REPS-Memstaff@aph.gov.au and SENSenstaff@aph.gov.au email groups? I ask because in June, there was an email sent out to all parliamentarians and their staff by Zali Steggall, inviting members and Senators to join the Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action. A short while later, an email came in reply from a member of another parliamentarian’s staff, which contained two GIF files which depicted short segments from the TV series ‘The Inbetweeners’. It seems this was a case of accidentally hitting ‘reply all’ rather than ‘forward’. My office has seen this happen a few times with various offices accidentally clicking ‘reply all’ rather than replying to the original sender. While the embarrassment of having told a joke to the entire parliament rather than one of your mates in the office is harmless, it does leave a carbon footprint. Data from the Carbon Literacy Project suggests that the carbon footprint of a short email is 0.3 grams of carbon dioxide. If we estimate that there are around 2000 people on those mailing lists, a single reply-all email would have a carbon footprint of just over half a kilogram, which starts to add up quickly. It wouldn’t be feasible to restrict access to the parliamentarian and staff email groups, but: 2. Could some sort of warning be implemented, or is there already one in place, for people who may be inadvertently replying to all recipients of such an email? 3. Alternatively, could the parliamentary email system catch such an email before it goes out and confirm with the sender that they had meant to reply all to the email? 4. Does the department have any data on the carbon footprint of the parliament’s information systems? Answer: 1. The two distribution groups contain the following number of recipients: Reps-memstaff@aph.gov.au: 1,789 Sen-senstaff@aph.gov.au: 708
There's two email groups set up for parliamentarians and their offices and apparently one office replied all to an email from Zali Steggall with gifs. (via Senator Payman's estimates question)

🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election.
The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls.
Huge if true.
Looks like JD Vance is a professional grifter … hating on those who use food stamps (him as a child) … hating on brown & black people (his wife & kids)…. The man is a disgrace ….
JD Vance, in 2016,

Josh McLaurin:
"Trump is the fruit of
the party's neglect.
I go back & forth
between thinking
Trump is a cynical asshole
like Nixon
(& might even be useful)
or that he's
America's Hitler.
How's that for discouraging?"
just so everyone knows, I know JD Vance received food stamps (SNAP) growing up by reading the Wikipedia article on him.
Who thinks JD Vance is a deplorable shit-bag?
His kids are brown … FFS…!
Make no mistake - what JD Vance is doing is attempting to justify and sugarcoat racism.
JD Vance is trying his damndest to rationalize racism. Tell him to fuck off.
