The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens.
Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies.
This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

I’m getting weary of this. This government is representative of what the people of this place want. The argument is with all of us. Turning it into a constant personalised political snipe belittles the nature of the problem.
Thanks to Murray and his ALP pals, weather reports like this will become increasingly scary and weird

The most damning answer at today's Senate inquiry into the Govt's #FOI Amendment Bill came from the Centre for Public Integrity’s Dr Williams when asked by Senator @davidshoebridge.bsky.social which one was less transparent - @albomp.bsky.social’s Govt or ScoMo’s Govt? 👇 #FactualResearch #auspol

hey quick question: is anyone in the government's leadership going to say anything about the ABC? surely a high profile unfair dismissal linked to managing cowing to a lobby group, and involving board meddling, is worth saying something? maybe even an investigation? some consequences for the board?

Marles: "the review that’s been announced is not a surprise, we’ve been aware of this for some time. We welcome it, it’s something which is perfectly natural for an incoming administration to do"
And yet the ALP govt itself DID NOT DO IT.
Absolute maladministration.

Spot on.
The Marles / Hegseth article was particularly galling.
Hegseth's only experience is as a weekend host of Fox News....and he's giving us orders?
The toxicity with which the Australian electorate showed towards anything MAGA - makes this move unbelievable.

OMG I feel like I’ve somehow voted for the coalition, reading not only about the extension of the NWS, but now also about Marles considering an increase of defence spending suggested by Hegseth! 😡

This is the power of the youth vote that will further decimate the two party ALP/LNP duopoly for the next 20 years or more.
This decision by the ALP to extend the Woodside mining lease to 2070 is a carbon and electoral bomb.

Every single young Australian would need to order 4,888 t-shirts from Temu each year (13 per day) to match Woodside's current emissions.
And to reach Woodside's maximum emissions estimates for the North West Shelf Extension? They would each need to order 214,571 t-shirts. #woodsideenergy

Voters deserve better than spam texts and misinformation.
I've long called for truth in political advertising laws and a ban on unsolicited political messages. It's time our electoral laws caught up with community expectations.
