Mas que nada
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
🤦♀️
It’s terrible really (not) 😎
#DailyGlimmer every half hour or so the ‘New England Honeyeaters show’ flies in a makes an all mighty racket! How dare they- I’m trying to concentrate on sciencey things 😊.
Sound up and sorry for the thud.

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.” 🔥
Nationals’ Susan McDonald has no rebuttal & scrambles to change the subject. #auspol

There are a number of ways our governments are crippled from impeding profits by the neoliberal order that serves the tycoons & CEOs. But they seem content to extract from us and silence our resistance. Who will our governments choose to serve?
AUKUS?

Why is that?
The NDIS should be a waved as an exemplar to the world. “This is how we look after members of our society who need assistance. Government for the citizenry!”
(Not, this is how we look after OS owned resource companies.)
But where is the Government defending their vision? Where is the leadership? They just roll over like a small puppy , expose their belly and wag their tail as if threatened by a large dog.
. @richarddenniss.bsky.social opens by pointing out that the Japanese govt actually raises more revenue from Australian gas than does the Australian govt!

Likewise when referring to the Greens, failing to recognise that parties develop over time.
Interesting read - “Citing ANZUS as a protective treaty is a distortion promoted to encourage herd think. It’s a fake security blanket for incurious Australians”
But I think Labor is gone as a relevant left-leaning democratic party, destroyed by backroom boys power games and deals. 🤷🏻♀️

Just study the body language in these pics 🥹
THIS is what it should be like. When humanity returns, after this administration is removed, we will ask rejoice.

@parkermolloy.com has provided the answer to my question. Lack of empowerment
1000 employee sacked for a more “technologically enabled workforce”. Beige world coming or maybe grey world - these tech firms require customers but if people keep losing their jobs to ai whose going the buy the meh products anyway?
Reading 🧵 from Tasmania, Australia where we have compulsory, preferential Hare-Clarke voting (choose your best candidate, then next..). Why in the US would you choose not to vote at all vs the least worse candidate when the stakes were so high? There had been a 1st term 🍊 Can someone explain please?
Sadly a bit universal in the west 😬😔
Lithgow! That would have been freezing any time out of summer !
So Pope Leo XIV is an Augustinian
St Augustine is one of the patron saints of beer 🍺

Never in my lifetime have i experienced a time when so many cultural institutions are under attack 🤷🏻♀️😔
Opinion piece in The Sydney Morning Herald about community radio station 2SER-FM. Titled 'Shutting this priceless cultural asset would hurt.'
The University of Technology in Sydney is poised to close community radio station 2SER-FM. Here's my opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald, arguing that it would be pure folly to do so.
