I get cross about far too many things these days: politicians, their policies, ignorance, science deniers, coal and smoking industries... you get the idea.

Trump believes climate change is a “hoax,” and he and his Big Oil friends want more fossil fuel and carbon emissions.
Meanwhile, the planet is warming at dangerous levels and Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave.
We must break our fossil fuel addiction & save the planet.

Australia’s renewable energy boom — proudly brought to you by those notorious woke warriors… the mining industry 😂 Fortescue and Rio Tinto are building solar farms faster than the outraged deniers can yell ‘unreliable.’

Santos, the company that deliberately caused the east coast gas crisis to gouge Australians for $ billions, leaks oil and gas leaks all over the place and hasn’t paid corporate tax for a decade..
… what could possibly go wrong!?!

This is the sort of leadership Australians thought they had voted for.
“Australians agree that our resources belong to us. Gas that is exported from this country should be paid for by the gas companies that exported and a 25% has export tax is the way to go.
- Senator David Pocock

🚨 New billboard in Manchester, UK 🇬🇧
Clear. Bold. Unapologetic.
When people have to rent billboards to say what leaders won’t, that tells you everything.
Well done, Manchester.

Climate change is Australia’s real national security blindspot. AUKUS submarines won’t fix that. Ending coal and gas expansionism will.👇🏽

I’m all for LGBT and gender equality @AlboMP. But how about dealing with the greatest threat facing all of us, especially those who are already marginalised.
Billions of humans will be toast within our kids lifetimes if emissions don’t come down fast.👇🏽

Cruel. Misguided. Heartless. @AlboMP, using your mother’s words to validate the abandonment of Australians in Syria is a disgrace. You’ve misplaced your judgment and your conscience. I’m angry, and I reckon your mother would be right there with me. #RepatriationNow #AusPol

I think Australians are more worried about how gambling advertising is hurting our young people than how a ban could impact sporting codes and media companies.
We need to put people first and implement the Murphy Report’s 3 year phased in ban on all gambling ads.
A small levy on gambling could more than compensate sports and help with this transition.
And no, public support for banning gambling advertising hasn’t softened - only the government’s resolve has.

The thing so many have insisted will never happen has happened.
Anyway, cue the confident explanations for why it still won’t, plus the urgent memo that this doesn’t count.
