What if we don’t want to sign up for rising emissions and deaths? How do you have wealth on a dead planet?

Henry, echoing Benjamin, nails it.
"there are people who are shareholders in multinational gas companies who are making out like bandits."
"The big risk here is that the people who for whom governance exists lose confidence in the system of government."

Crisafulli can kiss goodbye another term as Premier if he continues on this totalitarian path... we have long memories in Qld, as Campbell Newman found out the hard way after interfering with the judiciary.
And what if Olympic visitors say something pro-Palestinian while they're here or accidentally sing a song with banned WORDS without knowing they've entered a police state?
JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Over 25 Iranian-linked oil and gas tankers successfully evaded US blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, WSJ reports.
I'm watching a program about manufacture of drugs in the Solomons, that this is not an offence in the criminal law there. I think they still use the Qld Crim Code 1889 at an earlier iteration than the current Qld version i.e before such an offence was criminalized here #ForeignCorrespondent
Am pleased that most advisers and consultants of #NDIS are about to get kicked out. They have plundered a noble and essential cause while handicapped people missed out on help they needed.
The Iran War is stifling the Commonwealth's housing plans; what does this mean for the Queensland gov's Olympics build? #abc730
Jarrod Bleije's pompadour hair kind of balances the shape of his chipmunk cheeks
Yes. They forgot a letter. It’s the world’s most amoral army.
The IDF has become completely toxic, they use rape and sexual violence as a weapon of war. Horrendous that the call themselves the most moral army in the world.
4 year fixed terms... I voted against it, but enough Qlders voted for it, unfortunately. I was on the booths that election. People had no idea about it, didn't even know a referendum was being held! www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04...
"Israel is continuing its attacks on Gaza, where the humanitarian situation remains dire despite a ceasefire.
At least four Palestinian people have been killed by Israeli attacks in the southern and northern parts of the Gaza Strip so far today, Palestinian news agency Wafa is reporting.
Israel should pay reparations out of all the reparations they are still receiving. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

I think the Olympics and the Zionists will sink this Crisafulli government between them.
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 ... 🙄

It's rope-a-dope every time he speaks publicly.
"POTUS has reportedly been starting his day with a sizzle reel of stunning explosions rather than with hard info. These clips, which show the prowess of the American military, did not convey the ways that the U.S. was losing the war on a strategic level." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
"Looking around at faces I had only ever seen in a magazine or on-screen, I had an unsettling revelation: This is the hubris of accomplishment. To be declared a genius at one thing is to begin to believe you are a genius at everything. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

I'd rather a defence force equipped not with lots of expensive guns, planes, etc but with stuff they can use in national emergencies, Eg floods, bushfire, cyclones etc. I know the current Defence mindset hates doing this civilian stuff, like really hates it, but tough we pay for it all. #auspol
antisemitism just isn't a thing in Queensland, Crisafulli's just keeping Murdoch happy
"Jewish man among first charged in pro-Palestinian slogan crackdown that reminds some of 1970s Queensland"

“... these laws have nothing to do with Jewish safety and everything to do with silencing dissent against the state of Israel” #auspol #genocide
Another reason oil and gas companies are pushing back hard to preserve their cosy tax free corner in Australia 👇
The world is moving to make them accountable for their role in the runaway climate crisis.

So damnably true. Wicked when you consider how much capacity there is to do community good & still make a profit if anyone had a conscience & was so inclined. But they're not. 🤨
Strategic ambiguity...our middle name
