“December 26 marks 20 years since the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, which claimed the lives of 230,000 people and left 1.7 million homeless on Boxing Day 2004. It was the most powerful the world had seen in a generation.”

An Australian institution passed today…

Albanese govt on track to reach 82% renewables by 2030. Don't let Dutton's nuclear meltdown take us backwards! A 'Tidal wave' of big batteries, record new solar & wind to drive down electricity prices & deliver 82% renewables by 2030 #auspol #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/tidal-wave-o...

Brownie points to the first journo who points out that Dutton’s so-called ‘nuclear strategy’ is inspired by Trump whisperer Steve Bannon. “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with s&*t. This is not about persuasion. This is about disorientation.”

A bit horrified to learn Crisafulli has gagged the Queensland Parliament from discussing abortions, at all, for four years! 🤬 #women of #Queensland this is your health. This is NOT okay. There is nothing democratic about gagging debates relevant to society and wellbeing. #auspol #qldpol #health

I’m told Bill Shorten made a cracker valedictory speech in Parliament today. But I’m buggered if I can find any report of it. Canberra press gallery asleep at the wheel ?
