The Bonaparte carbon capture project proposal is a test for how willing our government is to take REAL emissions reduction seriously.
CCS is a distraction from real emissions reduction and is used as an excuse to expand fossil fuels.

Dutton says he has no intention of winding back women's rights but will cut DEI roles.
Women's rights include the rights to be valued & treated fairly. So how can a decision to cut DEI roles, which ensure women are valued & treated fairly, not lead to an erosion of women's rights?

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes.
This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

I was due to appear on SBS Insight tonight in a show about ‘My Body My Choice’, with a disability counterpoint against lawyers representing anti vaxxers.
At the last minute, I was uninvited due to their strict ‘no mask policy’. Said the executive producer.

“It’s a shame that the LNP gov he was a part had already cut $billions in planned health payments to the states & over a billion dollars for preventative health programs & research. Women somewhat rely on those services.
