Oh FFS! Now the fool's mansplaining menopause.
Menopause causes divorce. Menopause kills women. Lifelong vaginal estrogen therapy helps breast cancer patients live longer.

These are only a few of the questionable claims to come out of Trump's FDA this week.

No, it doesn't kill women or cause divorce.

"Tweaky" Forrest at it again?

So, apparently, there's no set of ethics, no moral code, no register of respect that money won't shit all over.

Tweaky still hasn't conceded that everything he owns (EVERYTHING) was originally stolen by his ancestors.

What a foul legacy that is. But, hey, money ...?

Can't imagine why the big Fossil Fools companies AND the Big Fossils in our governments keep spinning this dead dog of an argument ...
The media keeps pushing the lie that fossil fuels are cheaper than renewables. They’re not. CSIRO and AEMO show solar and wind are far cheaper. The fossil fuel lobby funds the lie, and half our grid’s already renewable. The transition’s happening, like it or not.

"It's likely the case that we need to give police more legislated powers to stop this kind of naked hatred and racism on Sydney streets"

No, Premier.

You need to direct the police to stop neo-Nazis.
Instead of suppressing peaceful protests against genocide. #nswpol

Really, really not sure that they're capable of 'leading' anything ... but if they are, then yes, this ⬇️
Another way to say this is two thirds want net zero to stay - a healthy majority. Lead with that.

"When Liberal MPs meet in Canberra on Wednesday they will be really just discussing whether to drop the charade."

Jesus ... we can only hope.

That the Libs/Nats brains STILL think the way they do re: climate issues, the net zero target ...

Kerry O'Brien should have conversations w/young people - every gender, race & age - than with the old guard of pale, stale, middle-class privileged white men. They're the reason for the shit storm - esp. the environ. & climate mess - that we have right now. And don't @ me with 'their contributions'.

Whitlam's "... economy grew faster than the US, the G7 & the OECD; by contrast ... during Malcolm Fraser’s government, Australia’s economy was outperformed by all three.

... yet it is Whitlam who is tarred forever as the poor manager of the economy."

Heartily sick of all the political gaslighting.

"Look to Indigenous leaders who have consistently advocated for climate action and nature; they have not put their faith in yet-to-be scaled techno fixes, but rather in a worldview that values life in harmony with the planet, which considers future generations."
[COMMENTARY]

A new op-ed warns that Bill Gates’ new essay, “Three Tough Truths About Climate,” risks undermining progress by framing development and climate action as a trade-off.

“The challenge is to ensure everyone thrives on a healthy planet,” she writes.

Government transparency is, apparently, a novel idea.

In the face of the current US leadership, Trump falling asleep, mental unsoundness, lies, deceit & scamming, ie: NO transparency, wouldn't that - from Labor - be a great thing, AND in the public's interest (☝️which public they serve).
Everything we learn about gas expansion in WA confirms those who are making the decisions are very clearly not working in the public interest.

The next and most obvious question to ask is - whose interests are being advanced by Government, and why?
