Nice @rodcampbell.bsky.social demonstration here of the sheer scale of Australia's export of fossil gas - Inpex alone exports more than domestic consumption for SA, Vic, NSW.

Aus' gas export industry is a profit engine for multinationals: nothing more

One might reasonable think Defence could deploy military hardware to foreign shores. Yet sending desperately needed Abrams tanks to Ukraine, as ordered by Govt in October, seems beyond them 🤷‍♂️. Are you happy with this performance Richard Marles? #asupol

Hey Penny's intern, hope you're well. Is @senatorwong.bsky.social 'gravely concerned' yet, because I'm fucking appaled
Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

Opinion | The ABC has indicated it will argue Lattouf has not proved there is such a thing as a “Lebanese, Arab or Middle-Eastern race". The optics are devastating, writes @marquelawyers.bsky.social

Why this wasn't front page news yesterday is beyond me.

We know microplastics can act as vectors for toxins, and further exposure and rises in brain plastic content are near certainty baked in

This dreadful episode in Australia’s history needs to be continually exposed as here:

After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?

It has found no corruption.

The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment.

it’s super clear: pro-climate independents are a clear threat to the coal lobby’s stranglehold on australian politics.

independents are proof that when australians take politics into their own hands, real change is possible.

Peter Dutton was part of a govt that for 9 years, drove people on benefits into the ground, chasing some for a measly $10.50, and even, causing some to suicide

And now this vainglorious plaster-saint tells Australians he's had high-level legal advice, but we can't be told its value

Oh the stench
