And it has always been my opinion that Downer should in fact be standing with Howard in the dock at The Hague to answer charges of war criminality. #auspol #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

Funny how the LNP have gone quiet on bashing EVs isn’t it.

As soon as I drove an EV I was never going back
My EV is the best car I have ever owned. Its fast, quiet, turns on a dime & it runs on sunshine thanks to the solar panels on our roof. I ain’t never going back.
Have you heard the good news?
92% of EV owners would buy another one(the media got it wrong in their reporting.
EVs are fast, fun & super convenient. They're helping lower carbon emissions & I'm among the 92%. I've leased 3 Volts, the Fiat 500E & just got a Mach E

Carbon footprint == an obfuscation likely created and promoted by fossil industry PR. 'Shift the blame onto the guilty individual' (and away from the real culprits). See also: 'Earth Hour', 'Earth Day', 'recycling', 'efficiency'.

The media is trumpeting studies that say we can drastically reduce cows’ methane emissions merely by feeding them a particular seaweed. But I did the math, and it doesn’t add up.
