Who would think that at this point in Australia’s economic transition we should be spending more, not less, on research and development…

Imagine if we taxed the gas industry and pant more on R&D…crazy talk … #cliamte

CSIRO 350 job cuts a damning indictment on Government priorities, misses 'golden opportunity' on research
The announcement this week that CSIRO are to cut 350 research jobs is another damning indictment on Australia’s ongoing failure to prioritise research and development.

Article excerpt I write with a heavy heart. When a Labor government seeks to overhaul our weak national environment law in a way that will still allow new coal and gas projects to be waved through, it is more than a policy failure - it's a failure of the duty of care owed to every Australian, to the places and species we love, and to our children's futures. Since taking office in 2022, the Albanese government has been approving fossil fuel projects at almost the same pace and zeal as its federal Coalition predecessors. Thirty-two coal, oil and gas developments have been given the green light - six of them since the 2025 election, including the most recent approval just weeks ago for Chevron to extract gas from seven West Australian fields. Together, these projects generate roughly 10 to 13 million tonnes of climate pollution each year, and that's likely a conservative figure, given some projects have withheld their emissions Article excerpt Meanwhile, climate disasters are tearing through the very environment that this law is meant to protect. The Great Barrier Reef has suffered through six mass coral bleaching events in a decade. An estimated 63 billion animals and insects were killed or displaced in the Black Summer bushfires. Climate pollution is the biggest threat to our precious reefs, species, forests and coasts. Both in Australia and beyond our shores, fossil-fuelled heating is driving massive destruction from severe storms and wildfires. Any credible government policy should rise to the challenge of protecting our environment from these threats, rather than letting our reefs and bush - and our people - suffer the consequences. The government's own data tells us what needs to be done. Australia's net zero plan relies on steep declines in coal and gas production to deliver a 27-million- tonne cut to climate pollution by 2035, about 4.6 per cent of our target. Yet projections show fossil fuel production remaining high - and there are even more projects waiting in the approvals pipeline. The Albanese government has been approving fossil fuel projects at almost the same pace as its Coalition predecessors. At least 42 highly polluting coal and gas proposals are already lined up for approval under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act the federal law that decides whether projects can proceed based on their environmental impacts. Many are seeking to operate well into the second half of this century, some even beyond 2100. A handful of these mega-projects could make or break our national climate targets while intensifying global heating. The

The text says: ‘Governments, owned by corporations, run by psychopaths, lying about an imaginary economy based on debt, fuelled by illegal wars, destroying ecosystems, poisoning our food and water, decreasing our education, increasing our prisons, manipulating the media, suppressing free energy, making us struggle, starving, humiliating, and killing the res of the world. All whilst you stay silent, pay taxes and vote.’

Over 77% of Australians want the government to act on climate change. They want actions and targets that will limit risks from extreme weather events.

So who are the duopoly really working for?

Criticism of the 'dud #AUKUS deal' comes from all sides of politics. Former PMs, Keating ("worst deal ever") and Turnbull ("one-sided mugging") slam it.
It is and always was Morrison's master plan to wedge Labor. It was never conceived to be a defence strategy.

If you listen to the 1% you’d think poor people in need are the problem instead of the greed of the 1%.

Poors need to EAT!!

The 1% never has to worry where their next meal is coming from.

Fuck the rich. They had decades to figure this out and ended up right here.
