Terrifying to think that today's heat will be a regular part of our kid's and grandkid's futures.
As Labor - opens another new fossil fuel project - logs another native forest - legacy media/ABC refuses to play its vital role - and Australians vote for all of it! ☹️ #auspol

Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it.
We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

Always worth remembering that Rupert Murdoch will die having been the most malignant force in the world of the past 80 years.

Also, this is just reporting of people calling for something. Apparently, this is news now.
With all that's going on in the world, the Australian media continue their tantrum demanding a royal commission. It's now reached the point of validating their own pride. How dare the govt not listen to them? Don't they know who they are? Some of these people have won awards!

Hang on…
The Albanese Labor Govt is saying that elderly Australians have to pay more for basic at home care - as spending needs to be reigned in.
But - they give over $200b of our public money to the US & UK for submarines we’ll never see.
What a betrayal #auspol

So Doug Ford and Danielle Smith are going to build a pipeline through the fragile lowlands of James Bay to a deep water port that doesn't exist.
Ford won't build roads to reach Indigenous communities but he's going to build a pipeline so oil can be shipped to other markets.
