The con is on.
The Cook govt is so captured by fossil methane gas that it’s prepared to doctor and lie in its own reports.
It’s LYING to its *own citizens* to benefit the toxic fossil gas industry that gets its gas for free & pays little in taxes…
This is totally unacceptable.

Liberal Party Senator Jane Hume says she should have sprung mandatory "return to office" requirements on the public service AFTER being re-elected.
This would be consistent with the party's usual approach of keeping unpopular policies secret until Australians are unable to stop them.

Yes really — the “we asked this guy. He doesn’t actually know jack shit but he’s rich” model of reportage really needs to go
theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you

Or is a clear “YES” to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to accept—so NYT avoids it?🤔
