The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.

Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?

That is more than 0.5C ago.

The Albanese govt is considering an East Coast gas reservation policy. And ok... but how about putting a 25% tax of gas exports so we stop giving it away for free?

Woodside are expanding fossil fuels during the climate crisis. They have chosen to be the bad guys. We shouldn't let them launder their reputations through our community institutions.

Student & staff members of @stopwoodsidemonash campaigned fearlessly against Woodside's partnership at Monash Uni.

Pure ALP.
Fear rules on gambling in Albanese government
Andrew Wilkie has asked the PM to allow a free vote on banning gambling advertising and it appears many Labor MPs would support it.

This is one of Albanese’s three great betrayals of the Australian people.

1. Woodside over the environment and indigenous heritage

2. US military complex over the entire budget and our sovereignty

3. Gambling industry over the most vulnerable.

Our public museums & libraries now staggering to survive under boards forcing disastrous cuts, full of ex-politicians & rich business mates, taking spaces of experienced, dedicated people. Fed ALP suppresses official report on how bad it is - then, arrogant & peevish, refuses to stop doing it.

ever notice how politicians bang on about power bills - for coal industry donations and worker votes, obvs - but never about water bills? Guess who will pay more for the one thing we need above all else, to subsidise planet-burning slop billionaires?

71 million views. Another brilliant PR move by the outstanding WH comms team. They owned the libs again by attacking and demeaning Sabrina just because she asked them not to steal her music for one of their sick deportation videos. Thanks for the new voters.

You are immortal.

The Egyptian pyramids have not yet been built.

You decide to save $10,000 EVERY DAY, never spending a cent.

You still don't have as much money as Gina Rinehart.
