I’ve seen this reported in a few places and it’s sickening that no one is being held to account for all this. It’s terrifying that the rich and powerful literally seem to be able to get away with murder.

They are an abomination. There must be people of conscience in the back bench who would be willing to vote against this vandalism
Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension.
Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.
In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

Albanese is starting to appear 'weasely'. Sort of manipulating everything possible, as opposed to frank and fair. . .
Albanese says if Herzog had not been here he ‘wouldn’t have been able to raise the issue of Zomi Frankcom with him’. Sorry? He couldn’t raise the killing of an Australian aid worker with the head of state of the country whose military killed her without first inviting him for dinner at Kirribilli?

With the US 'formally' admitting submarines for Australia will not be built, the UK submarines and service falling apart - there is no pathway available for Aust. Moreover, had we ordered the Japanese subs by now, we would have around $2b in change and a fully functional, advanced submarine fleet.

It’s now 11.15, he failed already. It’s tardy and rude. No respect for Australian’s. If you can’t be on time you can’t be relied upon anytime.
