When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

The claim: “We do not have a gas supply problem. We have a gas export problem.”
That’s from Independent Member for Bradfield, Nicolette Boele, who moved a private member’s motion urging the Government to restrict gas exports to ease shortages.

The Liberal Party is not splitting over net zero: It’s just a policy debate
In its 81-year history, the party has navigated some deep policy differences – and stayed united.

🚨The "No" campaign against the Indigenous Voice was a fossil fuels-led sham.
A major ARC study finds "Advance" a was massive spreader of fossil fuels propaganda ahead of the May federal election.
One of biggest impediments to fossil fuels = Indigenous rights.

UNICEF is utterly outraged by Israel’s crimes against humanity killing innocent children in Gaza.
Enough is already too much.
How long can Australia and the world community tolerate this egregious cruelty?
