Hey @albomp.bsky.social you are a useless dipshit.

Won’t stand up to Gas
Won’t stand up to Gambling
Won’t stand up to Palantir
Won’t stand up to Netanyahu
Won’t stand up to US Military

I’m not sure who you are working for but it’s not the people of Australia. Class Traitor.

Progressives have to fight the Tories while Labor stabs them in the back

Cost savings by cutting back NDIS:

$3 billion over 4 years.
= $750 million per year

Cost of AUKUS down payments:
= $800 million per month

Reverse Robin Hood. Take from the disabled. Send that money to the Orange Felon in the USA.

99.7% of EVs will never need a battery replacement.

Petrolheads can keep parroting “what about the battery?” all day.

The real-world data says otherwise.

Tracking thousands of EVs built since 2022: Just 0.3% have needed a battery replacement (outside recalls).

That’s 99.7% still running fine.

“Just do it”: Ken Henry to Senate on gas export tax Former Treasury secretary Dr Ken Henry has delivered blunt advice to a Senate inquiry examining the taxation of gas exports. He urged Canberra to overhaul its tax regime, criticising decades of policy...

Australia is not - yet - as entangled with Palantir as the UK.

But thanks to the Albanese govt, we are moving in that direction. The Defence dept already has several secretive contracts with this fascist firm.

Time to take the fight to Palantir. #auspol

Meanwhile, in Australia Planet Albo keeps bowling up Morrison MK2

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

This is what fossil fuel top execs get paid the big bucks for:
to dissemble, obfuscate and evade accountability in public.

While privately lobbying to ensure government ministers are far more attentive to their profits than to the national interest. #auspol

The only good thing about Palantir is that they are too arrogant to hide what they are.

They are insecure technofascists who want to control the world through surveillance and AI, and they are ready to harm anyone who stands in their way.

Europeans cannot trust Palantir

I can’t believe we are still going around and around on energy debates. The science was settled decades ago. We are so far behind the global leaders in this space (who btw having strong sustainable economies).

We are being held hostage by a dozen companies & their media. This madness must end.

Palantir and the New Order: Neoliberalism is dead. Say hello to Techlordism A new form of capital is ascending: cloud capital—networked algorithmic machines that grant their owners remarkable powers to modify our behaviour. And just as financiers needed neoliberalism, today’s...

"A recent tweet by Palantir proudly sets out its techlordist program. ... it becomes painfully clear that Silicon Valley recognises its immeasurable debt to the ruling class that bailed out criminal bankers while wrecking the livelihood of most Americans."

Japanese Government collects more tax from Australian gas than the Australian Government! YouTube video by The Australia Institute

youtube.com/shorts/jsBy3...

still can’t believe that given the choice between “bountiful, free, clean energy from the earth, wind, and sun” and “poisonous dead animal sludge price sensitive to global politics” we keep choosing the latter

Which also means we don’t count the emissions from 83% of the gas we produce. That’s our contribution to climate change action 🙈.

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

The gas ripoff. Japan collects more on our gas than we do - Michael West The Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing its imports of Australian gas than the Australian Government does from exporters.

So cowed by the foreign gas lobby .. the failure of successive govts is so epic that the Japanese tax *our* Australian gas more than we tax the foreign multinationals which export the stuff

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

25% you say, Angus? 😱

There's a 78% tax on gas profits in Norway, and they're doing just fine. But I guess their political leaders aren't captured by oligarchs ... 🙄

More of this … now do the right to block AI.

EU ‘right to repair’ laws may save millions of phones from landfill Smartphone manufacturers make their batteries hard to replace. Tough new EU rules will change that.

EU ‘right to repair’ law

The EU will soon require smartphone manufacturers to let users replace their batteries.

Chart showing 2014-15: Exports $16.9bn 2024-25: Exports $64.6bn 2014-15: PRRT $1.9bn 2024-25: PRRT $1.4bn

The gas industry has chosen to focus on exports, the PRRT was set up to tax oil in the Bass Strait. It ain't working

That's why we need a 25% tax on gas exports

Where are the AUKUS nuclear waste costings (let alone the dump sites)? - Michael West Defence has to provide costings for before procurement is approved. Where are the AUKUS nuclear waste disposal costs?

In response to an #FOI request for a cost estimate for the disposal of #AUKUS nuclear waste, the Australian Submarine Agency has advised it’s somewhere in amongst 3,000 docs. They can’t find the estimate … or they don’t want to find (and disclose) the estimate. #TransparencyFight #auspol

Labor’s foreign policy no longer matches the world it faces In the second on our Rethinking Foreign Policy series Kym Davey says Labor’s foreign policy platform is out of step with current realities – clinging to US alliance settings while ignoring its own commitment to self-reliance and the opportunities of the Asia-Pacific.

Labor still frames the US as an “enduring partner” – while committing to defence self-reliance and deeper regional ties.
Those positions no longer align with reality, Kym Davey writes.
