SHOW ME THE WATER
Nuclear power plants use a large amount of water for cooling and to drive turbines, typically between 13–24 billion liters per year:
Amount of water used: A 1600 MW nuclear plant uses around 2,000 liters of water per second or 173 million liters per day

SHOW ME THE WATER, Mr Littleproud. #auspol

The NACC AGAIN apologises to Parliament for incorrect information provided about the actions of Commissioner Major General Brereton. For the NACC to have any chance of doing its job properly he has to go.

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

Editorial: Scott Morrison, the man who conceived of AUKUS, is the single worst leader the country has ever had. He is a man without ambition for anything but himself, a man as useful as a briefing paper is to a chimp. http://satpa.pe/d1ytesg
The curse of AUKUS
Probably it is worth remembering a little about Scott Morrison, the man who conceived AUKUS. He is the single worst leader the country has ever had, unique in his venality and unseriousness. He is a man without ambition for anything but himself, a man as useful as a briefing paper is to a chimp.

Senator David Pocock agrees, we need a petroleum resource rent tax that works

And when Australia is the second biggest exporter in the world, but over half of the gas exported attracts no royalties, you know big gas is taking the piss!

Has to be one of the worst political interviews for some time, Ted O’Brien in a desperate attempt to defend rich ppl with $3mill+ in Super didn’t answer any questions, refused to explain his changing positions & confirmed they’ll start another term by just saying No. Pathetic. #abc

Pakistan’s solar and wind boom just got a boost—cheap Chinese batteries are making clean power reliable day and night.

Factories like Lucky Cement are ditching fossil fuels, cutting emissions, and keeping the power flowing.

When tech gets affordable, the energy transition speeds up.

Jane Hume and her “cry me a river” rhetoric regarding her demotion from the shadow ministry with nary a “half hour’s notice”

Expect some interesting times ahead for Ley as the plotters thicken & the knives sharpen.

I, for one, shall remain entertained as the COALition implodes - over & over again.

There is no gas shortage in Australia.

We don't need new gas wells. We just need to prioritise Australians over exports. #auspol

While their preferred political party implodes spectacularly - RW media have zoned in on a superannuation scare campaign that will affect less than .05% of Australians.

When you see the majority of RW media foghorning for the wealthy- u know we need a complete media overhaul in this country.

If the parliamentary wing of the LNP is too incompetent or too lazy to design policies over three years in opposition, there is a limited amount any Campaign Director can do to gloss over it when the campaign proper is underway & scrutiny is real. #Dutton

Jane Hume on #ABC this afternoon:

"There are 110,000 public service employees based in Canberra." She reiterated that several times, with unwavering confidence.

ABC end March 2025:

"As of 30 June last year, only 36.9% of the workforce — or 68,435 — was based in the capital." #FactCheck

Voters deserve better than spam texts and misinformation.

I've long called for truth in political advertising laws and a ban on unsolicited political messages. It's time our electoral laws caught up with community expectations.

Australia needs national truth in political advertising laws
It's perfectly legal to lie in a political ad in Australia.

Companies can't lie about their products, so why can parties lie about their opponent's policies - or their own?

Australia needs national truth in political advertising laws.

I've been fact checking Dutton's claim that grocery bills have gone up 30% (nope more like 12%)

And Ted O'Briend's number that power bills have gone up $1,300 (nope more like $500-$600).
