As I said on ABC radio today. The govt’s position on climate negotiations is like watching a house on fire and saying we’ll work with the firefighters to put it out quickly but also work with others pouring petrol on the flames as long as they go out eventually.

"It is located 5km from the town of Deniliquin, but none of that town’s population of more than 2,700 people objected to it.

All 66 objections came from more than 50 kms away, with 60 of them from people located more than 100kms away, and 26 from interstate"

Please read this & help save the State Library of Victoria, entering its 'now fully trashed' era. I didn't go to uni - for me the Library was higher education in later life, research for my job, a revelation about what ordinary people could have access to. It changed my life. Not just a building.
The State Library of Victoria’s ‘major’ proposed cuts include slashing the number of reference librarians and free computers for public access. Some staff are shocked.
Proposed cuts at State Library of Victoria go against its mission – and will hurt the disadvantaged

Give me a ping, Charlie Brown. One ping only.
You know how quickly the boys found you, Charlie Brown. All those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars, while you could only dream of getting out, getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI…
Ah, you think darkness is your ally, Charlie Brown?

What this extremely lackluster piece fails to mention: Ratner currently *lives* at Mar-a-Lago. This is why Trump might help him.
A person directly familiar with the conversations tells Semafor that Donald Trump has personally pressed Larry Ellison to revive Brett Ratner's "Rush Hour" franchise.

Reviving stale and tired shit is what Trump and most of Hollywood’s studio execs are about anyway.

If you want to see the political cynicism at the heart of Australian politics, look at this policy. It will not work. Everybody involved knows it will not work. It was rushed through without consultation or debate. It is designed to take effect when parliament is out and most of the public tuned out

When @australianlabor.bsky.social trots out a warning to The Greens "not to "make the perfect the enemy of the good"" you can absolutely bet they're going to offer up crud & join forces with LNP to deploy media beat up strategies against people who want to prevent rubbishing of EPBC laws
Labor offers Greens forestry deal in exchange for support on environment laws
The ABC has been told the federal government is willing to ensure native forestry complies with tougher new standards within three years if the Greens back the reforms.
