My BlueSky team, I’m sorry I have been trying to post videos that I’m posting on Twitter on today’s Gas Tax inquiry, and due to some bug, unsure if it’s a tech issue with BlueSky, but no videos are posting. I’ll keep trying, but thoguht i’d let you know i havent abaonded you. @support.bsky.team
And young people have to fight @albomp.bsky.social's majority Labor govt (94 seats!) for fossil fuel phaseout & a chance to have a liveable climate 🙃
The gas tax committee is at lunch for half an hour. My favourite of the morning was Susan McDonald saying coal seam gas "puts bubbles in your drinks"

There’s a lot going on in your brain all the time. To power your imagination, the neurons need some silence.
There has been a few times in my life where I have betrayed all my better instincts and went with the crowd and there is no time I regret more than seeing this picture and mitigating it. I am truly sorry, and I will make it right.
Oddly enough, the best thing to do on your first fast charge is to go to a busy charging station. The other EV drivers will help you out. It’s like a club.
Disgraceful behaviour
Just had a #MyAgedScare reassessment. All I heard was:
"I hear you and if I could I'd assess you as needing mid level StayAtHome support, but the Tool decides, regardless of our input."
What a complete CLUSTERFUCK.
Oh & if I want to appeal, I have to WRITE A LETTER. No email. No other way. SMFH

All Chris Minns had to do - at a bare minimum - was be less bad than Berejiklian and Perrottet. And yet.
Why does Japanese gov have the right to block Australia’s carbon transition? To threaten #auspol if we tax gas exports, but charge import tax on them for 🇯🇵 plus profit on sales? Why does Trump threaten us with astronomic 💊 price rises?
Why does Albo feel powerless?

Mark-up on anything labelled NDIS is a huge issue. Need a new bolt for your four wheeled walker? Couple of dollars at Bunnings. Twenty times as much at Independent Living Specialists
Indefinitely?
Wow, he's really lost interest in this thing.
Natalie Barr was just as disgraceful, insisting that Australians on the NDIS are “milking it”
We have a gas inquiry on, Barr conveniently ignoring the actual milking by the gas giants. Not a word on the billions we lose each year in resource revenue.
Hubby just got new gum boots for his birthday (and I bought my self a pair in sympathy).
The only thing to wear in wet sloshy conditions.
The Senate’s Select Committee on the Taxation of Gas Resources will today hear from the members and friends of gas industry on why paying something to us for our gas will have a devastating effect on the cartel’s executive bonus scheme. I have my tissue box at the ready. #auspol
A critical Atlantic Ocean current is weakening faster than expected – and could reach a tipping point within decades.
The consequences would be global, Stephen Prager writes.

A pardon for horrific child sex trafficking on a large scale would set the basis for this organised violent crime to expand worldwide from the U.S - #trauma
I had no problem. Basically it was one of 3 options I had, including 2 cash transaction cards from different accounts at my bank.
It’s an electronic card that sits in the wallet on your phone and you use the Wise app to manage transfer and currencies etc.
Like saying "Dams need rain to fill. But there's no rain on many days every year." Too dumb even for the Libs
The Iranians are saying “we’re not going to negotiate with a liar who changes his position every twelve hours”, and the Americans are like “we can’t stop him doing that”.
So yes, it’s all going great for the global economy.
who took off their snow tires this week? This is your fault and I hate you
actually I hate me. I raked the garden today. This is all my fault

The conflict against Iran is currently being operated as a stock market manipulation scheme for the benefit of people with inside knowledge about decisions made by the US regime. It sure as hell isn't about regime change or nuclear weapons.
A prime-time TV report on renewables and EVs fell apart at the first fact-check.
Misinformation is distorting Australia’s energy debate – and being amplified in mainstream media, Giles Parkinson writes.

When, just fancy that.
A friend today described AI as "Dunning-Krueger in a box", which might be even better than "Mediocre White Male Talent Simulator".
AI is not the telephone or the internet. It's 1980s synthesizers, 1990s CGI, or 2000s autotune.
How is a misogynist who is incurious about whether Gina Minehard is backing his campaign good for democracy & Australia's deteriorating political standards & culture⁉️
