It’s such a bluff. Norway wouldn’t have $3T in their sovereign wealth fund if the resource companies actually pulled out like they threatened. They are still there! Gas companies have to go where the gas is!!!!
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
Can’t believe we live in a country where this is basically the state of play, but god forbid we tax the gas industry.
Never change 😆
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.
Kill statue = bad
Kill humans = fine
Have 2 petrol cars, a small hatchback that never leaves our local area and an SUV we use for long trips. Could absolutely replace the former with an EV (and will when the time comes) but the latter not so much. Would prob look to replace it with a hybrid if anything. EV infrastructure needs work! 🤷🏼♀️

Hi, happily married angry leftie woman here. 🙋♀️
Just because ladies want a man who treats them like equals and pulls their weight around the house OH MY GAWD SOCIETY WILL SURELY CRUMBLE WHAT ARE MEN TO DO?!?!????!!!
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.
ANZAC Day. My Grandfather was in Gallipoli in 1915. One of the many things I cherish from his accounts is this poem. He is 19 writing this. The "stupid intrusion" is our invasion of the Türkiye people's homeland.
In 2026, he would want us to seek peace & better relationships.
F’ING faaaaaabulous. 😤
Australia wins again 💅🏼
Just sayin'
I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😍
Dear JD Vance,

The worst kept secret at ANU. Knew exactly who the other person was before even reading the article.
Let’s hope those chickens really do come home to roost. 🐓
When the Trump era ends [one way or another],
his abuse of the presidential pardon powers will go down as one of the worst enablers of his fascist rule.
Combined with the SCOTUS immunity decision, it means that no-one is held accountable.
Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
You know what doesn't get its support unceremoniously pulled by a tech company? Fuckin' books, brother
Never going to forget this one
"The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket."
This is so unfair and I’m sorry. But thank you for your dedication to the profession. We will keep fighting for a better world.
He's not playing 10-dimensional chess.
He's not playing two-dimensional chess.
He's playing checkers...
...and even then, he's just slamming his checker onto the board and shouting "King me!"
Art of the deal 📈
Economy so bad they literally closed the dick-sucking factory
