I.E. The public are subsidising their future losses now through unpaid tax. If we can't have carbon taxes due to real world politics we should have negative tax offsets for future emissions.

We do have problem here. Notionally the means they are using to avoid their tax are 'legitimate'. The practicable issue is in the real world the capital costs they are writing off against income now for long term assets are for ones that will not have a full lifetime in a lowering emissions world.

This in itself is not that unusual. It's more the consecutive forecasts of 38, 37, 37, 37, 35 that have you sitting up thinking its a bit late in the year for that..

Hottest ever March 24 in Perth today with still some time to run before it starts going down. Could well sneak into the top 10 late March* hottest ever days.

Test cricket is now well post the "let everyone play" period & into the "weird niche that remains inexplicably popular in Australia, and to a lesser extent England" period. Thus there is an ever expanding new category of stat: Records that will never be broken. #1 for consideration:

7 for 52 for Corey Rocchiccioli this morning at the Gabba. I am making this the 2nd best ever figures for WA offspinner in first class cricket for the state behind Roo Yardley with 7 for 44 against SA at the WACA in 1977.

Anyone else finding having Robbie McGregor back announce ABC Sport unsettling in a way? Crossing the streams between a satirical universe and the real one.
I keep expecting him to throw to the JJJ card table on the halfway line.

1 - 9 m
It'll be gone 5 years max. Could be in a year or 2

I have so much to do at work. There are so many huge issues in the world to contemplate, even be part of the solution. Meanwhile here is me: *click* *click* "Wow, did Scott Prestwidge really only play 3 first class matches?"

The idea the rate of climate denialism is greater in Australia than the US, (and Poland!?!), and only 2% less than SAUDI ARABIA FOR GODS SAKE, is simply not credible.

Only 60% of Australians accept climate disruption is human-caused, global poll finds
Exclusive: French survey of 26 countries finds fewer Australians than global average agree that climate change is the greatest health threat facing humanity
