Over 99% electrification of Indian Railways network complete Indian Railways Electrification: The Indian Railways has completed over 99% electrification of its broad-gauge network, with a significant push towards renewable energy, including rooftop solar panels...

Meanwhile, '3rd world' India has almost electrified all of its vast network in record time. infra.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/railway...

Minns knows this is untrue. NSW Police do not need more powers, they need to stop providing police protection to Nazis. Same applies to Victoria Police.

I could drive to work in air-conditioned comfort and pay to park but then I’d miss opportunities like these.

You can't solve a crisis with the same thinking that caused it Billionaires and corporations are driving climate breakdown. It’s time to tax their wealth and build a fairer future.

Billionaires and corporations are causing climate breakdown.

It's time to tax the rich.

Shocked to learnt that it’s artificially flavoured 🤯

Tiny urban forests can help #rewild urban settings and help fight #climatechange. The brainchild of the Japanese botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global.

We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

‘Dirty deals’: Nauru rorting, bikie gang allegations to be referred to NACC Allegations of rorting, graft and bikie gangs infiltrating critical border security operations are set to be referred to the national anti-corruption watchdog.

The govt is spending billions to keep 100 asylum seekers on Nauru, a nation of 12 000 people the size of Tullamarine airport. Reports implicating the Finks bikie gang in those deals are deeply concerning. Public servants have risked their livelihoods to speak out.

It's funny how hard we have to work to convince the world that uncontrolle data centre expansion is a climate risk when there's a fossil gas power station called the EXXONMOBIL POWER PLANT being built explicitly to power a data centre

A graphic poster with a green, textured background. At the center is a black-and-white image of Earth. Above the planet, a small private jet flies around the Earth, leaving a dark, tangled trail. Across the middle of the image, bold white text on black rectangles reads “CLIMATE PLUNDER.” Below, smaller white text states, “How a powerful few are locking the world into disaster.” In the bottom-right corner, the Oxfam logo and the word “OXFAM” appear in white.

Since 1990, the emissions share of the richest 1% has increased by 13%, and the richest 0.1% has grown by 32%, while the poorest 50% has decreased by 3%.

Net Zero hides a truth the mining giants understand perfectly: nothing has to change The point.com.au

Like ‘housing affordability’ ‘net zero’ has become one of those meaningless political sayings

Labors support for net zero hasn’t stopped them supporting new coal or gas or from spending billions on fossil fuel subsidies

Offshore detention is a moral and financial black hole, bought to you by the Labor Party.

High Court immigration test case could result in payouts of millions More than 350 non-citizens released from immigration detention have claims worth hundreds of thousands of dollars each.

The Albanese Government is asking the High Court to create a new defence to false imprisonment to escape $10s of millions it is liable to pay 356 people it was forced to release from immigration detention.

Female NSW MPs Allegra Spender and Kellie Sloane report death and rape threats after condemning neo-Nazi rally in Sydney Allegra Spender and Kellie Sloane report threats to police, as premier says government is investigating whether ban on Nazi symbols should be expanded Two female MPs have reported threats they received following their condemnation of Saturday’s neo-Nazi rally outside New South Wales parliament to the police, as the premier rejected any suggestion there was a “double standard” in how the far right is dealt with compared with pro-Palestine activism. The alleged threats against federal MP Allegra Spender and state MP Kellie Sloane, which included death threats and calls to “rhetorically rape” the federal MP, came after both took to social media to condemn Saturday’s rally, in which about 60 men clad in black called for the abolition of the “Jewish lobby”, with speakers repeating antisemitic tropes.

Yes. Was going to build a holder for one cover but this has me thinking of literally extending it.

‘Pouring money into a trough’: Senior public servant blows whistle on allegedly ‘corrupt’ millions The Home Affairs assistant secretary claims money was spent on overinflated contracts or for services that were never provided.

🇦🇺 pays $1.5mil per person each year to detain people on Nauru.

During last Senate Estimates, I asked about links to organised crime and value for money, I was told there is no need for concern.

Now whistleblower evidence paints a very different picture.

When you switch from fossil to clean you only use like 30-40% of the energy to do the same stuff, bc most energy from fossil fuels is lost as waste heat

What's I'm trying to say is that all climate action is degrowth

WELCOME TO DEGROWTH EVERYONE

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Why does the ATO need to profit ?

Yeah I remain sceptical. Thanks for the link though

Yeah I thought that was the claim. Seems spurious. Would be interested in seeing some research around. E-bike riders also eat food and don’t require lithium mining

ebikes manage to be even lighter on carbon than normal bikes

sorry what?

I rode 180 km last night and I think I have a clue why my butt is a bit sore

Why not just bikes?

Do you know these nazis? Today, Saturday November 8 2025, NSW National Socialist Network (NSN) members held an antisemitic rally outside NSW Parliament House un...

I have the braising pan and love it. SS rather than black steel but still very nice quality

Tell me the rich deserve this while the poor and middle class lose health insurance and SNAP benefits.

Net zero is an insidious loophole that distracts from the scientific imperative to eliminate fossil fuels | Joëlle Gergis History tells us that polite incrementalism and political kowtowing will prevail at Cop30 – even as catastrophe unfolds around us

As COP30 begins, here's a gentle reminder that well-intentioned half measures aren't going to solve the climate crisis. The era of fossil fuels must come to an end. My latest in The Guardian... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
