Oh, and the terrible AUKUS deal, siding with genocidal/human rights violating Israelis, Housing affordability/tax reforms. The toothless watchdog commission that can't find any wrongdoing anywhere. Did I miss anything?

Well, apart from the transparent govt/freedom of information bit, the weakened environmental laws, the new fos. fuel projects, the lack of a royal commission into media ownership, no blame/prosecutions over robodebt, not doing anything about clawing back royalties/tax from the big miners etc, etc.

And after which all the deniers shout “see, they’re still buying houses on the beach, so sea levels can’t possibly be rising”. We are a very unintelligent species!

I've seen houses that've been recently renovated and put up for rent. One had nothing between the living area and sky except for 10mm of plasterboard and roofing tiles that let so much light into the loft-space that you didn't need a torch. Single glazing too. Europe has better insulated pig sheds.

The WMO defined climate normal underplays the trouble we're in. A 20-30 year timeframe at a time of rapid warming is just too long. At the current rate, we'll be well into years above 2C and in all sorts of trouble, by the time the 30 year multi-decadal average crosses the 1.5C line.

"Support our corporate sponsored environmental plans or we'll trash the native forests you claim to love so much". Labor are every bit as compromised on the environment as the LNP, they just put a tad more effort into hiding it. Just evil.

It shows you just how easily these actors can be identified. It beggars belief that the likes of Musk and Zuckerberg do nothing, and that govt.s refuse to take action against them or the deliberate spreading of disinformation.

What he's proposed isn't a peace plan, it's a surrender. A complete capitulation to the aggressor. Putin must have threatened Trump with the video evidence again.

Just saw someone post the same article on facebook.
The replies were mostly accompanied with laughing emojis.
They included comments like "the reef is at its best ever", "I was there a few months ago and it was fine" and "it's natural". Nobody wants to address the problem or the disinformation.

I'm finding it almost impossible! Having moved to Australia almost 20 years ago, I find that most are totally disinterested. They have their friends from work or college and have zero interest in making new ones. Relationships tend to be superficial and/or transient. Fortunately we have family.
