Make Gas Giants Pay Gas corporations are making record-breaking profits, and paying almost nothing in tax. It's time to change that.

Many still long for words unsaid:
Acknowledgement of the wounded & dead
People like you & people like me
Whose lives are destroyed & long to be free.
Adults & children, babies & aged
Treated as animals, tortured & caged
Bombed with abandon vicious & cruel
But all that we hear is the cost of our fuel

@albomp.bsky.social, having originally backed the illegal US/Israel war in Iran do you now have anything to say about the US threat to end a civilisation?

You can see that having spoken in favour of this violence you are now obliged to express opposition to a threat of genocide?

Looks like Coffee Club gets a hard miss!

He's the new Israeli Ambassador to Australia. Let that sink in.

But:
- why was he even given a platform to speak at all
- why wasn't he arrested after for making statements that amount to hate speech?

Iranians & Palestinians are 'barbarians'. fmd, isn't that's the pot calling the kettle black?

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

“The situation in the #WestBank is absolutely appalling,” UNRWA Commissioner-General tells @‌zeteo.com’s @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Laurel Hubbard: Who is the transgender weightlifter making history at Tokyo 2020? New Zealander, Laurel Hubbard, is set to make history when she competes in women's weightlifting at Tokyo 2020 on Monday (2nd August). An almost career-ending injury could have derailed her Olympic dream, but now she's on track to push for the podium in Japan

The banning of trans women from the Olympics is one of the most disgusting examples of bigotry I can recall.

There was literally ONE trans woman to compete at the Olympics. She failed to record a lift.

5 years ago the Olympics website lauded her.

Now the IOC regards her as an unperson.

And I guess Poland was a “buffer zone” for Hitler…

Electric trucks take to the road as demand for petrol-free cars surges The vehicles are common in China and Norway, and one company hopes to have a fleet of heavy rigs on Australian highways by next year.

We don’t know and #Albanese won’t tell us what the attraction or the threat is.

But the gas industry’s peak representative body, Australian Energy Producers, said a 25% levy against its exports would come at the “worst possible time for Australia’s economy and energy security”. “Imposing higher taxes on Australian gas producers would stop investment in new gas supply, leading to gas shortfalls, higher energy prices, and the closure of Australian industries that rely on reliable and affordable gas,” AEP’s chief executive officer, Samantha McCulloch, said.

Chart showing in 2023-24 9,951PJ of gas was exported or used in LNG plants to convert gas to LNG 1,034PJ was used in Australia

The Gas industry now saying a 25% export tax would "stop investment in new gas supply, leading to gas shortfalls"

Bullshit.

Utter bullshit.

83% of Australia's gas is exported.

THERE IS NO SHORTAGE

We spend billions on flood defenses, then clear the wetlands and forests that prevent floods for free.
One acre of wetland can hold 1.5 million gallons of floodwater.
Cheaper than concrete walls. 🏞️

Hanson's claim about non-citizens on local councils is wrong Pauline Hanson has falsely suggested that foreign students and other visa holders who aren't citizens can vote and even run in local council elections in one state.

Well done for keeping your cool with NAPLAN outages yesterday #eduskyAU good luck today!

@albomp.bsky.social has made us an accomplice in an illegal war through a lie

Iran also has a right to defend itself

Iran attacking US Military Bases engaged in unprovoked attack on them from those bases is no different to Israel carpet bombing neighbours
