“Australians will never know what reforms might have been achieved if a community's valid anguish had been channelled into a bipartisan-backed orderly review of the facts to determine the best path forward.”

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand)
Results:
Last week: 100% RE
Last 227 weeks: 98.6% RE (1/5)

Amazing Black Forest trifle this year courtesy of my nephe’s wife.
A trifle dessert sitting on a kitchen bench. It is a Black Forest trifle and you can see the layers of gingerbread people, cream, cherries, chocolate cake and ripe cherries complete with stems on top.

Bondi politic.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Two frames. Frame one: Sussan Ley and David Littleproud. Ley says “We *could* try bipartisanship.”. Frame two: Ley and Littleproud wheeling John Howard in a wheelbarrow, Littleproud says “Yeah-nah.”

These accounts have blocked me today, I can only assume out of support for the shooters at Bondi? 🤷‍♂️ I don't get blocked often, so the timing is curious!

My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Left: man and woman at kitchen table having drinks. Woman pointing to her phone, saying: “Immigrants are causing the housing crisis, the environmentalists want to ruin our lifestyle, and our children’s minds are being poisoned by woke!” Right: Young teen girl walking through doorway carrying drink and plate with sandwich, says, “Omigod Mum, put that thing down, can’t you see what it’s doing to you?”

Barnaby out.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Barnaby exiting a room from which a leg kicks, a hand flipping the bird, another throwing a tomato, an akubra hat and a beetroot flying, and “BUGGER OFF!” and “GOOD RIDDANCE!” Barnaby in melodramatic pose looking back says “Don’t try to beg me - I’ve made up my mind.” In front of him, Pauline Hanson in burqa (dress, legs and high heels showing) arms outstretched, saying “COME TO MAMA!” - eclipsed by Gina Rinehart behind her, long white dress, same pose also saying “COME TO MAMA!”
