Newly released files from Jeffrey Epstein include correspondence with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to Washington.

Hey, Australia! This is an official account of the US government - Australia’s “closest ally”.

Surely it’s time to be pulling faaaar away from this shitshow @senatorwong.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social
Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

In 2025 the world has fallen short, again, of peaking and reducing its fossil fuel use. But there are many countries on a path to greener energy.

Activism is the antidote to failing governments. Get active. Talk to friends and family. Join activist groups or start one of your own. Ring, write to and meet your MPs. Don’t accept inaction on climate, education, healthcare, aged care, corruption, lack of housing, NACC…
I get that the govt is failing in its responsibility to fill its job description but if we do nothing and just allow them to keep going are we any better?

Roof top solar in some areas is producing more electricity than people can use during the day, more community batteries are needed to store it and feed it back into the grid at night

There’s a reason the duopoly is barely getting two thirds of the vote now. Australia really remind me of the USA 15 years ago, complacent af while inequality gets worse and the so-called centre left party is so deep in the neoliberal kool-aid they don’t see the shock that’s coming.

Australia's renewable energy sector is experiencing rapid growth, with renewables supplying 36% of total electricity generation in 2024, up from 29% in 2021, driven by solar and wind. The Australian government aims for 82% renewable energy by 2030

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.

Which is also why you should share it.

If interested in the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's tardiness in responding to dimethoate residue in blueberries, recall that Barnaby kludged that organisation by abruptly shifting it to Armidale in 2017. Staff were reportedly working in McDonalds, for internet access.

Labor’s plan to gerrymander Australia
#auspol
Don Farrell, Labor’s special minister of state, has built a reputation as one of the most powerful people in parliament. His next target is expanding the size of parliament, something that has only happened twice since Federation, writes Jason Koutsoukis. satpa.pe/xidNMW0
‘More snouts in the trough’: The plan to expand parliament
For the first time in 40 years, Labor is developing a plan to increase the number of seats in the parliament – a move the Coalition fears will cement Labor’s majority.

Setting themselves against the tide of history, the Liberals can't articulate alternative policies even as they seek to undermine the tens of billions of private investment pouring into clean technology in this country.

Doesn’t even reside in Longman, does he?
Isn’t his actual home on the Sunshine Coast.

Since everyone is rightly focused on the Epstein files, now would be a good time to remind you:

Child marriage is legal in 34 states across the US. That’s almost 70% of this nation.

How about we end that?

So many of us had little choice but to place Labor just above LNP.
It's a massive shame Labor have misunderstood the result as some sort of endorsement or approval of the timid path they tread.
So tired of waiting for generational change.
