The shameless hypocrisy of Pauline Hanson when it comes to rapists:
🔹 Migrant Rapists: Chemical castration
🔹 Sean Black and Trump: Hire them/worship them.

PS: Video courtesy of the Liberal Party, which has finally taken the gloves off.

David Pocock beside himself as Shell’s Cecile Wake insists she doesn’t know Shell’s revenue, or how much gas they export, while she fronts an inquiry on Gas Exports.

I don't think this investigation will help Albo make up his mind. He's already done that. It's just a matter of how little he'll tax them, if at all. #auspol

Australians are being played by Rinehart and Hanson, and the media is helping – Amy Remeikis Legacy media's refusal to scrutinise One Nation is going to hurt the country

It should worry you that the One Nation candidate on track to win Farrer thinks it is "above his paygrade" whether Gina Rinehart is funding the party.

I tossed up whether to watch the senate committee hearings or Game of Thrones. After seeing the Qld resources council and the Libs trot out all the old useless tropes and arguments on why they don't want to pay tax, I chose GOT.

S4 Ep1, just after the red wedding and just before Joffrey gets his.

I think they already have, and he has good comebacks and is very savvy. They can do their worst and it won't diminish his reach or popularity. it will probably increase it.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.

The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.

It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

The end of oil? As fuel shocks cascade, 53 nations gather to plan a fossil fuel phaseout Frustrations at slow global climate talks has led more than 50 nations to begin plans to phase out fossil fuels – even as oil shocks raise the stakes.

Why aren't we sending someone? Clearly this is a no-brainer. But in our case our environmental department has no brains. Pathetic. #Auspol

I suspect that they might allow a windfall profits tax but not a flat across the board 25%. They will try to 'get the balance right' and screw us all over.

Personally I don't think they will, or will water it down beyond recognition. This slogan should be borrowed for an ad campaign for Independents, who will do the will of their electorate. What I really want is a government who works for us. #Auspol

Pressure builds to lift Australia's 'tiny' gas tax As calls mount for a 25 per cent tax on gas exports, a leading economist has trashed the existing measures at a Senate inquiry.

Have you seen those Ford ads with the tag 'Get what you really want'? I'd like a government who do the people's will, which in this case is to tax the gas giants. #Auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Don't believe the empty threats from the gas industry that they'll leave if Australia taxes its gas exports properly.

Inpex are looking to invest RIGHT NOW in high-taxing Norway. They're taking the piss.

Pauline Hanson’s ‘Hiring a Rapist Scandal’ has boiled over as former ON candidates reveal they warned Hanson about Sean Black’s sex crimes, but were told to “stay in their lane”
In court, judge slammed Black for showing “no remorse” - Hanson knew this & kept him anyway.🚩 #auspol

"How much longer can Hanson and Joyce get away with it? A while, if history is anything to go by. Many Australians can and do see through Trump ... Could that support be her undoing, with polls showing One Nation may have peaked?"

"Hanson is no friend to the working class, regularly voting against things that would materially improve their conditions. There’s nothing new about a right-wing populist painting themselves as a man (or woman) of the people"

Why Barnaby Joyce is going in to bat for the richest Australians — despite One Nation's 'battler' charade Speaking out of both sides of its mouth, One Nation demonises migrants while opposing anything that would limit wealthy local investors hoovering up houses.

PHONy are showing their true colours, and we can only hope their base sees them. #Auspol (Paywall article)

Wild attack on batteries and renewables by 7's Spotlight program falls over at the first fact check TV program looking at appalling mining practices in Congo says it is a blight on the renewables and storage industry. But it falls over at the first fact check.

Seven spruiks for the billionaires and fossil fools and gets fact-checked into ridicule.

I've been waiting for this debunking. I knew it was bullshyte and propaganda but didn't have the facts. Thanks for this. #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”💥

That selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. It changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea. Would you have the sea grow still and the tides cease, to save one wave, to save yourself?

Dr Richard Denniss dismantles the gas industry’s favorite threat.
If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄
“They are playing us for fools.” 🔥
