Sarah Ferguson asks if we should ‘give something back’ to gas giants in exchange for a tax.
David Pocock “why we bargain with them?”
“I don’t think we need to give anything back. We just want a return for our gas!” 🔥 #auspol

Sounds like it’s a good time to get that gas tax going….

'Just do it and stop the crap': Ken Henry's blunt response to question of gas tax – video The former Treasury secretary Ken Henry offered his support for the proposal of a new gas tax during a parliamentary inquiry in Canberra examining the prospect.

The LNP and that liar Scott Morrison gaslighted us about a "Gas Led Recovery"

Time to get a fair payment for our gas.

I'd just add no money for #PrivateHealthInsurance or #PrivateSchools both are in the game for profit where shareholders come first & everyone else can get fucked
Also same goes for #FossilFuels & #Lobbyists

Abcs Politics now saying wrong time to push for 25%

Saying gov probs won’t go there atm cos they won’t wanna piss off our diesel suppliers ….

I reckon do it anyway… if they don’t want our gas, they don’t have to buy it…. Regardless of taco, they still need gas—- they’ll still pay

At some point the Australian Government is going to go after the absurd amount of information and permissions everyday mobile phone applications use .. right?

@philipthalis.bsky.social What evidence do you have that taxing gas is worthwhile?
Here is what Norway is doing with their taxes, whilst their state owned company is also increasing emissions, killing people + planet.

Australia’s school system is driving inequality – not fixing it Australia’s school system has become a self-reinforcing cycle of inequality, and without structural reform, the divide between advantaged and disadvantaged students will continue to widen.

I can't quite believe (a) how quickly so many people started outsourcing their decision-making and critical thinking to machines owned by psychopathic oligarchs, and (b) how quickly that made everyone really, really dumb.

Yesss! And further, the knowledge on how to develop this skill is deliberately cultivated out of us, or kept from us.

I hadn’t considered that last part before. Eradicating humanities subjects at university is a good start. How else do you think it’s done?

Definitely that! AI music is one. Think of the consciousness shifting revelations that come from falling in love with a John Lennon song, or Rage Against the Machine, or Bob Marley, etc. And filling the airwaves with soulless, apolitical mush resembling music means that awakening happens less often.

Yep, I was thinking- you’re abc staff so you’ve got a degree… and this is what you’re writing…..

Different doesn’t equal bad, perhaps this author needs to get out of their comfort zone more often 😆

Exactly. That they didn’t gives the impression that they are either lazy or unqualified

Or maybe both? Abc standards are appalling atm

I drove an EV for three days. It saved me money but cost me time With no end in sight to soaring fuel prices, 7.30 decided to take an EV for a test drive to see how far it could take our reporter, and if Australia's EV charging network stacks up.

This is disappointing by ABC. I’m not surprised to see 7 Spotlight bashing EVs (helping fossil fuel lobby) but expect better of the ABC. This whinge about EVs doesn’t mention $ savings from not buying petrol. Also, how about cutting emissions? Climate change? Hello?

The agenda here is so obvious.
