Just imagine investing this much money, time, energy, political will & space into smart walking, biking & transit infrastructure. There are maybe thousands of these. They not only induce a lot more driving, they make our cities think they can’t afford transport solutions that would ACTUALLY work.

Talking about the 'power' of the Australian gas lobby gives the industry far too much credit. The real credit should go to our government and senior public servants for their spinelessness and willingness to put self interest before anything else.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

On Friday the Australian Memorial will ask the ART to agree to proceedings where I can’t see the AWM’s argument, their evidence, the name of their witness or who their witness works for. It’s an UNPRECEDENTED attack on open justice in Australia. 🤷‍♂️ 1/3 #FOI #auspol #CensoredHistory

It is utterly shameful that Australia's ABC, our national broadcaster, ignores (mostly) the horrific crimes that Israel is committing in Gaza. And the West Bank. 😔 #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

One thing (among so, so many) that we love about Australia is that a fairly high percentage of right-wing American socio-political attacks & techniques simply do not land in Oz.

They just come off as forced or clunky and we thank sweet Jesus for that.

PM @albomp.bsky.social, ethnic cleansing is what Australia's complicit in, with your political & military support of the Israeli government

Is complicity in genocide the legacy you want?
This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip
Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.
