Both Morrison & Albanese dismissed the urgent pleas of over 500,000 Australians. A record breaking Australian petition was completely ignored.
Grace Tame understands that decorum won't cut it.

Opinion | "Anthony’s predictable response to my two-word statement has reinforced just how poisonous Murdoch’s grip still is on the Western world," writes Grace Tame.

Really hard to find hope in humanity when so many are so openly cruel yet they are cheered on for it. The devil's work of dehumanizing our fellow humans to normalize mass death and suffering has been wildly successful.
The world we inhabit today is one that is intolerable for those with empathy.

Some are actively working to undermine our democracy as they've done in the US.
No one is coming to save us from them but us.

So sad that David Lynch died. A friend and I did a road trip to the North West a few years ago. I was amazed how Lynch turned a few locations in North Bend into the fictional town of Twin Peaks.

After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?
It has found no corruption.
The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment.

NACC finds “no corruption” – spends $140m to date
The embattled National Anti-Corruption Commission has completed its first three investigations – and found zero corruption.

When looking for an ideal choice to make plastic, you want something with high concentrations of cellulose, such as #hemp.
Hemp’s manufacturing process doesn’t create hazardous compounds like benzene, and the energy required to produce hemp plastic is up to 45% less than traditional #plastic.

Albanese govt's transition on track to reach 82% renewables by 2030 w 43% emissions cut. Dutton's nuclear fantasy unnecessary & prolongs fossil fuels. Aust has a plan to decarbonise already being achieved. We're at 40% VRE w assets to get to 50% in train #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/this-talk-of...
This talk of nuclear is a waste of time: Wind, solar and firming can clearly do the job
Australia’s economic future would be at risk if we stop wind and solar to build nuclear: Big industries would have to close and the risk of blackouts would be significant.

I viewed Friendly Jordies’ vid of Gina Rinehart speaking at a mining conference to her sycophants.
Rinehart has been emboldened by Trump’s win & she’s off her leash.
She literally called 4 a takeover of govt & a Musk DOGE for Australia.
Given the chance, she would fck this country via her greed

Elon Musk is a danger to democracy globally. The sooner countries realize this and go after him, the better. Ban Tesla, Twitter, and Starlink from their countries.
Musk thinks he's a global emperor who can dictate to countries around the world. We need to stop him.

Politico-owner Axel Springer prints a Musk op-ed promoting Germany's fascist AfD party. Welt's opinion editor resigns in protest. Here are two excerpts (translation is Google's) via Lexis. Does this sound like the NSDAP to you? It does to me.

Elon Musk didn't come to the US on a H1B visa. He came on a J-1 student visa, failed to get a work visa, and worked in the country illegally. He claims to have later gotten a H1B visa without providing any proof.
Like Melania Trump, he used money to make his history of illegal immigration go away.
