The big gas and oil companies have been having it their way for too long. We are calling for a 25% tax on gas exports. This would have raised $17.1 billion in the 2023-2024 financial year. Enough to build 50,000 new homes.

So the Australian Labor government have jumped at the chance to expel an Iranian diplomat on the allegation of anti semitic behavior. Meanwhile Israeli diplomats not only remain but lecture us as they blithely murder journalists, medicos, bomb and starve innocent children in Gaza and the West Bank 😏

Good article. Let’s see if the Libs are smart enough to see this as the opportunity to reinvent and rebrand that it could be.
I reckon they’ll fuck it up.

This is quite an extraordinary table from Streem showing how many seats each party would have won if their share of seats matched their share of media coverage during the campaign.

Think hard before your next feed of “wild caught” prawns or fish. This is the aquatic equivalent of clear felling forests on land. Raises tough questions for those that have a default setting of opposition to aquaculture.
I will forever be haunted by this footage.
Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.
