Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

This is why faith in democracy is absolutely crumbling.

Until political parties can no longer accept donations from the very people in the business of destroying the planet it won’t change.

We need to overhaul political donation and lobbying laws like our lives depend on it - because they do.

California: it’s always “too early to talk about climate change” until you do.

We didn’t talk about climate change during bushfires in Australia until our sky turned orange for three months and a billion animals died.

This is climate change, and this is the time to start talking about it.

I think a more concerning proposition is why are so many Australian children in prison in the first place.

This was a breathtaking lecture. The Australian media is lucky to have Nour Haydar. Even if, as evidenced in this lecture, it hasn’t done much to deserve her.

One opinion piece by Peter Dutton, one romantic swoon-fest over Santos’ coal seam gas wells that have torn regional communities apart, and 600 words of blatant PR for Dutton’s electoral campaign.

This is really breathtaking stuff.
Now up to 7 days in a row of gas-sponsored coverage in the Murdoch tabloids....

Woodside is the actual worst.
"The bottom line is that every dollar extra Western Australians pay, because we allow the export of domestic gas reserves, is a dollar of windfall profit.

It’s a direct transfer of wealth from Australian households, business & industry to gas producers." - @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

This is what happens when politicians only think in four-year increments.

We become one of the world’s deforestation hotspots, our emissions rise, and we become the best at driving animals to extinction.

I’ll never forget the blank looks I got in a previous role over 5 years ago asking “why aren’t we doing more about gas?”

Not long after, Australia overtook Qatar as the top gas exporter.
