I just want to ask if it's worse to SAY you are dumping net zero... or just to keep approving coal mines which mean you have effectively dumped net zero even though you don't admit it?

fantasies and gobbledygook... the language of... our political class?
Dan Tehan says the Liberals’ new plan to reduce emissions will include new taxpayer funded Coal projects.
And that they will be pushing for “Zero Emissions Coal”🤔
PK “But it hasn’t happened?”
DT “Well, no it hasn’t happened.”💥
WTF is he talking about? #auspol

Stealing the breath of life
When you suffocate or drown, every fibre of your being cries out for the breath of life, oxygen. It is the body’s ungovernable response to the extinguishing of your flame.

I watched 'The King' this evening. I have been relentlessly watching comedies and dramadies to save myself from the awfulness of everything, but my Beloved is in rebellion against my wall of 'puerile meaninglessness'. So, we watched The King.

I empathise most with this: "Like being a dickhead, the soul-crushing weight of this moment clearly operates on a spectrum, too." Yes. Though I quip about disillusionment with politicians, it's actually soul crushing to find that there is NO integrity to be found amongst the majority of your peers.

Australians pay 4 times more in HECS repayments than the gas industry pays in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax!
Australia Institute analysis shows replacing the PRRT with a flat 25% tax on gas exports, as suggested by the ACTU, would raise over $17 billion a year.
