When people use the word "politics", they are probably referring to the current system where we alternate between two major Parties, which isn't a very pleasant topic. It will get less contentious once we get past that - our quality of life depends on it!

JobSeeker pays $20K/year, the Age Pension $30K/year.
In contrast, fossil fuel subsidies totalling $14.5B/year, benefiting 276K mining & industry workers at $52.5K each.
Welfare supports millions in need, yet subsidies heavily favor a small industry, highlighting stark funding disparities.

Lucky we can sack both these wet lettuce efforts:

(2) a 5% annual reduction is so 20th century and
(3) electricity generators need to be included too.
We've only one safe climate after all.

The major party 'choice' on climate and energy:
- Labor's "key climate policy", the so-called safeguard mechanism, was taken from the LNP and is close to useless.
- The LNP's fake nuclear 'plan'.
Both are smokescreens for more fossil fuels.
Bipartisan gaslighting.
