The person who asks informed questions is stupid, the rambling old fart who couldn't point to Afghanistan on a map, is the smart one in the room.
I wish someone had the guts to say live, I'm not stupid, you are you orange piggie.
These are the times we live in 🤷 #auspol

That is so obvious, but we seem to have to play these theatre pieces. Those on the right just need to say "it can't be done" and do some hand wringing, leaving the progressives to explain and unravel the bleeding obvious.
There has to be a better way to deal with this BS. #auspol

When student loan repayments bring in over three times more revenue than the petroleum resources rent tax (PRRT), it’s clear the system is broken.
I welcome the govt’s 20% HECS cut, but there’s much more to do. Degrees are still too expensive, and this cut doesn’t help students starting this year.

'FutureCoal, formerly the World Coal Association, is the vehicle for this pivot – one that is perhaps more tealwash than greenwash in design.'

When I was wanting to buy a #solarbattery for my home I didn’t have any help
Except for the online sites like solar choices and a govt one on dos and donts
Some people here helped too but I was mostly flying solo
So if you have helpful advice for others
Could we create a #solar thread 😁🙏

Some of you long known comrades have shared the joke about how you search for me and nothing turns up. It's mostly still the case (don't talk about your doing, there's no results to search etc). Google AI has just produced this which is better than most. Kids - your actions ARE your info, protect it

Labor's Environmental Protection reform bill is a travesty and might as well have been written by the big dirty companies it's supposed to regulate and prioritises their needs above the environment.

300 more jobs (read, people) to go from the CSIRO. These cuts are on top of the 800 suppport roles already gone. Australia needs science innovation. And the CSIRO should have government funding certainty. You're losing us, @albomp.bsky.social. #auspol

Calling Labor's current approach "incrementalism" or "small target" or whatever makes it sound like they are are an overly cautious progressive govt. Matters like this show that they are actively pursuing policies that make them indistinguishable from the centre right: not incrementalists at all.
Disgraceful & tragic what governments have done to this once science powerhouse! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
"Federal Science Minister...Tim Ayres said the cuts were aimed at refocusing the efforts of the CSIRO towards research priorities, such as critical minerals, iron & steel...in Australia."

It's horrible seeing sheep and other livestock cooking in the summer sun in central and western Vic as you drive past. Esp during a drought, pathetically huddling under the 1 tree in the paddock. #auspol
#ClimateActionNow
Solar panels are often now elevated so that sheep can graze underneath them. Dew runs off them, making the paddocks more drought resistant. The sheep get shade underneath them. Productivity of both wool and meat is increased, farmers get static income from the lease. Win win!!😍
