Anyone remember that famous image of Liberal MPs celebrating the passage of the carbon tax repeal bill? 2014.
Today's pre meeting 'power walk' by the conservatives had the same vibes.

The 1975 “dismissal” of Australian Labor PM Gough Whitlam is often seen as a constitutional crisis initiated by an old British-led establishment.
In reality, it was a bloodless analog of other US-orchestrated coups against reforming left governments.

The obsessive focus by political media on coalition policy deliberations … maybe talk about something that has a real world impact? This constant propping of a two-party formula just because it suits your notion of horse race politics is beyond dull.

Talk issues not numbers.

This has increasingly been my feeling. I try not to despair but greed is such a powerful motivator and it’s too easy for a lot of folks to be wilfully ignorant and/or apathetic. We have so much potential. This world is a gift. But self-interest seems to be hard-wired into too many people.

All that said it’s hard not to watch this without a sense of weary despair… we won’t save this world will we. Somehow the momentary needs and greed of vested interest will win out. A tiny self-absorbed few will do for the rest of us… they’ll blight the future to line their pockets. Sod ‘em.

Just here to remind you that, with “net zero”, we’re having a meaningless argument about a meaningless frame in order to distract from the single most important and meaningful issue confronting us.
This is politics today.
We should stop wasting time and energy and build a new system.
