Was a teacher, a public servant, a business owner living on Ngarigo land in southeast NSW. Alternate now between doom scrolling and attacking the garden with sharp implements. #auspol #ClimateAction #USPolitics
But of course.

From an article in the NY Times, the EPA is apparently drafting a plan to end its ability to fight climate change.

What is wrong with these people?

Problem is, his core instincts are always wrong, like:
. aligning himself with Trump
. promoting nuclear
. proposing tax deductible lunches for bosses
. wanting to end WFH
. using his son as a prop and
. responding to a make believe threat by verballing a foreign leader

Nope. In fact it makes him look at best irresponsible and at worst ruthless.

Dutton was quite happy to insert his son into the political conversation when he thought it would be to his advantage - but apparently now 'it’s not about our family, it’s about every other family.'

Such a relief to see that, while the US and the rest of the world are grappling with financial chaos and the possible end of a democracy, the White House are focussing on the important things.

Has everyone else gone on holidays, or is this not a fair reflection of what's been happening today in politics?

Props to Albo for his response to Trump's offensive comment.

"That's not the way that I deal with leaders. I deal as an equal with countries that I engage with.'

Nouriel Roubini, a professor emeritus at the Stern School of Business at New York University who predicted the global financial crisis, has some strong views on Trump and his tariffs.

OK. I thought the first 1 was a mistake. But this is starting to look like a pattern, and I'm here for it.

Phil Coorey spelt lack of judgement, weak leadership skills and indecisiveness wrong.

The photo on the top left of Dutton is attached to the article below which is about US tariffs. Trump is mentioned 22 times in the article and Dutton isn't mentioned at all.

Clearly, even the SMH knows that Dutton equals Trump.

Why aren't the #aec on bluesky? People are missing out on important information.

The #abc is at it again.

For them the message is that this is 'to win votes'. Contrast with the SMH where it's about 'clean energy ambitions'.

We know Trump's tariff formula wasn't based on tariffs but on trade deficits. But it seems they got this formula wrong as well. Had they applied the formula correctly, the tariffs would have been about a quarter of the announced levels.

Talk about amateur hour.

Gee. A photo of Peter Dutton looking sincere but determined, and a signed inspirational quote.

I'm nearly convinced.

I just need to make sure his fingers aren't crossed behind his back before I'll commit fully.

On 3 March, Jane Hume stated unequivocally that the Dutton back to office mandate would apply to all APS employees.

Today Dutton not only lied about this policy but also claimed the PM lied by suggesting the order would impact anyone other than Canberra public servants.

We're told images are essential in election campaigns and the ones that will dominate this morning are of Dutton filling up petrol and posing with motorists.

Looks more like a chump at a pump to me.

Trump's indiscriminate tariffs will hit developing countries (like Vietnam & Cambodia) really hard because of the size of the tariffs & the extent that these countries depend on the US for export income. It's incumbent on our govt to advocate for them & provide what direct assistance we can.

As reported in Crikey.

The Trump 'Reciprocal Tariffs' aren't based on tariffs at all.

This is a giant con.

This is not correct. He did not snap at the reporter. In fact, his response today was very civil. I know this because I was watching.
