It is beyond belief that our broken environment laws are still in the same failed state as when I was elected to the Senate 10 yrs ago when Tony Abbott was PM.

If you vote Labor thinking they are better than the Libs on the environment you are kidding yourself.

Remember this one? Before & after of a brain after a 20 minute walk — why walking to work, or school, or just to get the intellectual juices flowing, is linked to better creative & intellectual performance. Among MANY other benefits to you and to society.

But sure, lets spend M$ on a mosque but ignore the 97 women that were murdered this year. This is Aust's dark evil shame. The terrorists are not overseas, they are here and live in our homes. Our govts could radically reduce this. They choose not to

why do people frame brian thompson as a mere “guy with a job”?

he wasn’t serving food.
he wasn’t stocking shelves.
he wasn’t selling cars.
he wasn’t a cashier.

he was the ceo of a billion dollar insurance company that intentionally denied medical treatment to sick/injured working class americans.

Nah, wrong framing. If we invested heavily and made public transport more reliable, efficient and comprehensive (as well as free), we could rid ourselves of the need for most people to even need resource-heavy electric cars.

Need a cargo bike occasionally?

In Denmark 🇩🇰, a supermarket offers free cargo bike rentals, showing how short-term access can empower more people to choose sustainable transport.
Et pour les personnes n'ayant besoin d'un vélo cargo qu'occasionnellement, il faut des services de location courte durée

Au 🇩🇰, une chaîne de supermarchés propose le prêt gratuit de vélos cargos par exemple !

alp, lnp line up with Hanson ... have Payman and Now Thorpe in their cross hairs. It's disgraceful. At least we now know where everyone stands.
Lidia Thorpe suspended from the Senate for the remainder of the week after she ripped up Pauline Hanson motion
Labor's Senate leader Penny Wong moved the motion, saying Senator Thorpe's actions had compromised workplace safety in the Senate.

One year's worth of car payments on that vehicle would buy my "elitist" Urban Arrow, which handles all local errands, costs virtually nothing after the initial investment, doesn’t tear up infrastructure, and won’t obscure a small child from view before running them over.
