Instead of waiting for (redacted or doctored) Epstein files, media should publish court docs alleging that Trump raped Katie Johnson at Epstein's home when she was 13.

Claims that North West Shelf (NWS) extension are necessary for firming electricity are pure gaslighting.
NWS is about EXPORTS
It exports more of WA’s domestic gas reserves than it supplies to WA.
NWS = LESS gas for WA

Last year, Japan resold at least $11bn worth of Australian gas.
Japan onsells more Australian gas than eastern Australia uses, and more than our forecast domestic gas shortages.
We don’t need new gas projects. We just need to use our own gas better.

Why are carbon offsets so bad?
1. They are used by big business to greenwash. Fossil fuel companies can offset the emissions of their offices, and then claim to be a 'carbon neutral' organisation.
2. Many of the offsets themselves completely lack integrity.
