a royal commission into australia’s shameful activities in east timor is well overdue.

Howard has learnt nothing. He still tries to justify immoral spying on a friendly neighbour, Timor, as ‘in the national interest’. That’s false. It was in Woodside’s interest and it poisoned relations with Dili for over a decade. Dumb and shameful! #auspol afr.com/politics/federal/eas…

For decades, Australia has failed to collect enough income from our mineral and fossil fuel resources.
We’re still collecting more on HECS than from the PRRT, the super-profits tax on oil and gas.
Successive governments have failed the next generations. This needs fixing.

Building a statue of a protester with chains and then making protesting with chains illegal 18 months later is some Utopia level plot line

“The Coalition’s nuclear energy plan takes a sharp turn away from a cheaper, cleaner future” thanks @simonahac & I would add the nuclear policy abandons rational market economics. Liberals who support this could only do so for tribal reasons. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Every day from now until the election, let’s remind Australians of Peter Dutton’s massive lie.
“I don’t support the establishment of big nuclear facilities here at all. I’m opposed to it.”

The Public Service is smaller than it was under John Howard & I agree with Glyn Davis - its work is honourable & necessary.
Senior coalition members say 36,000 jobs will be cut.
That would be devastating for the ACT & 🇦🇺ns seeking support from services.

It is ridiculous to doubt our leading scientists energy modelling just because it clashes with your political ambitions.

It’s quite extraordinary that Newscorp papers are publishing front page stories, pushing gas, which are being sponsored by Santos, Tamboran, Jemena, and Australia Energy Producers, without attribution.
The Newscorp media are utterly compromised.

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.
Pass it on.
