Opponents to climate action are deliberately using details out of context, and have done so countless times in the past.

The Volcanic Ashes is the most historic tournament known in cricket. First played here between rival clans on the banks of the River Hvítá in Árnessýsla in 925 CE, in more recent times there has been a cheap replica event played between Australia and England that has garnered a lot of attention.

Two things to bear in mind given the words you’ll hear over and over today in Australia: (a) the louder “the national interest” is invoked, the more likely it masks a narrow political interest, and (b) functionally, delay amounts to denial. #NetZero

WHY has council commercialised public parkland… handing it over to entrepreneur mates and excluding the public?!!

If you think it’s the wrong thing to do with parkland… email Lord.Mayor@brisbane.qld.gov.au and opposition@bcc.qld.gov.au

Anyone that's seen firsthand the Brisbane flooding events knows what an appalling decision this is by David Crisafulli & Jarrod Bleijie. Removing the Woolloongabba flood protection measures benefits developers but puts thousands of people at risk. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes.

When govts want to do something, they do it.
When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse.

No one here should fall for it

The Bonaparte carbon capture project proposal is a test for how willing our government is to take REAL emissions reduction seriously.

CCS is a distraction from real emissions reduction and is used as an excuse to expand fossil fuels.

My take on last night’s extraordinary result www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
Beyond Dutton's loss, this is a chance for a new type of politics in Australia
The comprehensive nature of this win gives Anthony Albanese the chance to change the narrative of our politics.

Lord Pocketsquare has attempted humour in Qld parliament with a Barbie & Ken joke. Crisafulli government's Olympics legislation will override 15 planning laws around Victoria Park including those to do with the environment, conservation & the heritage act. #qldpol

The consequence of not good enough, as evidenced in the United States right now, is that you inevitably get much, much worse.

Guys, I've only just discovered this, and given that ANZUS doesn't mean anything now I think we've just found our new alliance partner.
Our 2025 cricket season is just 6 weeks away, the only place you will find cricket in our geographical zone.

I don't need history to prove me right because I am fully capable of judging right from wrong now, in real time. Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. It is threatening people with ethnic cleansing by forced removal as the BEST case scenario or complete annihilation.

The Australia-US alliance is meant to be built on "shared values".

But 31% of Aussies think Trump is the greatest threat to world peace - more than Putin or Xi.
