The final approval of the 45-year expansion of Woodside’s North West Shelf gas export terminal is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations.
It will undermine the nation's energy security, drive up energy prices & is the greatest giveaway of Australian natural resources ever.

Would be great to have access to the Epstein files. But let’s not forget the files are a secondary source of information about Epstein’s paedophile ring. There are plenty of primary sources available - the women who were Epstein and his associate’s victims. Why don’t we just listen AND BELIEVE them?

Our ABC hasn’t lost its freaking mind so completely since it went monarchy fangirl in mourning black.

Three stories that aren’t news about a convicted murderer, including Annabel Crabb “analysis” of why it’s a popular story and some speculation about how that murderer will fare in prison.
This is all tabloid and gross, disrespects three victims and is in no way news.

Was asleep most if the afternoon so only just saw the RBA’s decision.
Seriously bad.
It’s what happens tbh when you appoint business execs to be on the monetary policy board and not people who have any actual connection with people who have to pay bills.
