Replace "BBC" and "IEA" with "ABC" and "IPA" and this also tells an Australian Story. A dark, murky and corrupt Australian Story. #auspol

Invisible Hands
Dark money is undermining our democracies, and it’s never darker than when channelled through lobby groups masquerading as think tanks

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

The BBC is ours. It's ours to love. Ours to criticise. Ours to shout at when we feel in the mood.
And if Farage thinks that the way to win favour with voters is to stand around cheering as Trump takes down the BBC for $1 billion of personal enrichment then he's a bigger fool than anyone thought.

If it wasn’t clear before, it certainly is now: without a credible, coherent climate action plan and clean energy policy, the Federal Opposition is heading into the political wilderness.
The LNP’s infighting over net zero exposes its policy poverty and growing irrelevance.

‘Australia is the ranked as the third highest country for climate disinformation’ ?? Just mentioned in the inquiry.
In my view - that’s a direct reflection of our highly concentrated mainstream media ownership landscape ie Murdoch and Stokes #auspol

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

Something to remember for you all as social media is swamped by people angry over a man they've never met - especially in Australia where that American white guy's killing is being fed out and manipulated by Advance and the Atlas group.
You're being played.
All of it is scripted agit-prop trash.
