A reminder that gas is not a vital industry to Australia.
As Polly Hemming explains, if anything, it costs the Australian economy.

Treating animals with antibiotics is a very, very bad idea (unless it's for a individual animal who is sick) and especiallyin a marine environment. This is absolutely appalling. Do not buy Tasmanian salmon. Ever. To the politicians who supported this industry- You were so wrong.
Lobster fishery off Bruny Island in TAS closed on eve of the opening of fishing season due to antibiotic use by the salmon farms.
No indication of how long for. Must be a devastating blow for fishermen approaching Xmas.

Scott Ludlam wrote a few things a few years back on “state capture” and it really sums up Australia’s craven giveaway of fossil fuel resources to foreign corps
Australia Institute research shows the gas industry pays ZERO royalties on more than half the gas exported from Australia.

The Trump-Albanese non-meeting is a classic case of media demanding it happen purely because the media think it matters.
Not one journo covering the US visit could explain what good they would expect to come of the meeting.
But they just assume it must be done.

So I rewatched that South Park Charlie Kirk episode again last night, and they mentioned ICE giving out 50K signing bonuses on a 100K salary.
I thought they were exaggerating for comedic effect.
