If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Anyone else getting bombarded with ads for tourism in America while you're watching news footage of ICE shooting innocent people on YouTube? I don't think that's particularly effective targeted advertising

#Robodebt is undoubtably proof that public servants, including and especially those in the $1M secretaries club, will NOT be held to account by Govt for wrongdoing. Does a Queensland misfeasance case open the door to citizen led accountability? 1/2 #auspol
Exclusive: Misfeasance case paves way for robodebt action
A damning judgement of ‘highhandedness or cynical disregard’ by the Medicare watchdog has established a new front for civil litigation of public servants named in the robodebt royal commission.

Australia’s recent heatwaves pushed electricity demand to record levels without the grid failing. The data points to growing reliance on rooftop solar, batteries and renewables – and the declining role of coal, Jackie Trad writes.
#PearlsAndIrritations #auspol #energy #renewables #electricity
The most important power station in the nation is no longer a coal plant – it’s on our rooftops
Australia’s electricity grid is increasingly being powered by rooftop solar, batteries and renewables, exposing the limits and rising costs of ageing coal-fired power stations.

Australia needs to get real about Trump’s changing America
The protection the US offers is less absolute — and far less reassuring — than Australian government rhetoric often implies. It’s time to stop pretending otherwise.

Weather outlook.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. TV weather man stands beside map of Australia with stick pointing to map. Colour of map with temperature scale below shows fiery reds, orange and crimson pink indicating high temps throughout. Map in actual flames in some parts, flames on weatherman’s stick, his shoulders and hair. He’s standing in brown floodwater with flaming, smoking branches, a cow and a koala clinging to a branch floating by. Rain blowing in from the left. Weather man calmly says, “On the bright side, assuming global emissions fall sharply…”
