“Zero Emissions Coal” says Zero IQ Dan.
Dan Tehan says the Liberals’ new plan to reduce emissions will include new taxpayer funded Coal projects.

PK “But it hasn’t happened?”
DT “Well, no it hasn’t happened.”💥

For our ABC to provide Australia with the quality journalism we need, staff need to have secure jobs, sustainable careers and fair pay. Management's enterprise agreement offer will send the ABC backwards with cuts to job security and career progression, and pay that doesn't keep up with inflation.

And here in Australia the erstwhile alternative government is walking away from it entirely. They’re all going to let us burn.
Since the beginning of 2025, Democrats have pulled back from talking about climate change, according to data analyzed by The Post.
At the same time, nations and companies have been whittling down their goals — or going silent on the issue entirely.

Badly worded poll published by the SMH, which implies that it’s more costly overall/less affordable to reach net zero. Verging on a push poll.
Despite this, a majority of Australians still support net zero.

This is Mal Lanyon’s first real test and the ‘communication error’ excuse just won’t do
The decision to greenlight a highly staged Nazi rally outside NSW parliament has left senior police red-faced, politicians fuming, and Sydney’s Jewish community facing fresh trauma.

Good thread. And right on the money.
One of the most damaging and enduring aspects of the Dismissal, fifty years ago today, was its poisoning of the electorate against the Whitlam government, ensuring that it would lose the subsequent election and creating fear of progressive government.
