Tesla's new campaign invites Tesla owners to post a video of their car ... by offering a chance to win tickets to fly to USA and visit them.

lol most of the world rn would compete NOT to travel to USA and get randomly incarcerated by ICE goons. Avoiding being shot with rubber bullets a bonus.

The LNP support of nuclear was never about nuclear - it was about creating uncertainty and disrupting the transition to renewables.

Today, EnergyAustralia has been forced to admit what @australiainstitute.org.au research has long shown: Carbon offsets are a total sham & do nothing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Time for the govt to stop trumpeting them as the answer. They are not

Thousands of public servants depend on flexible work. They work hard - but they will be forced to pay $100s for petrol or fares to keep working under Dutton.
The Coalition plans to take away the ability of public servants to work from home

Instead of having flexible workplaces to make the APS attractive for those w/ caring responsibilities & who live in the suburbs/regions, they want to shovel $ to office landlords

Water is our most precious resource.

But Peter Dutton wants to spend $600 billion in taxpayer money on one of the most water intensive energies, nuclear.

Under Peter Dutton’s proposed nuclear model he will ultimately need three times more water than coal to keep the lights on.

We need a Territory big enough to hold the 2 million people of Gaza, with housing all set up, a warm climate like they're used to. How about the State of Mississippi? The people there can be shifted over into, I dunno, Alabama or somewhere. They can leave their houses and cars.
There's precedent.

Why does Musk hate USAID? Because it funded programs to counter apartheid, building capacity of black South Africans to work for peaceful political change.
