It makes most sense in the context of supporting the fossil fuel industry.

Without fail you can rely on the Liberal Party's solution to a problem to include either tax cuts or more fossil fuels.

Jane Hume was in the media this morning saying a lot about the Coalition and what they can achieve. Did I miss the announcement about the Nationals re-joining the Coalition after their latest spat? It can be so hard to keep tabs on them.

We attended a fundraising dinner last night for Dementia Research Community and the stories were equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking. There were many of both.

Australia has excellent minesweeping capabilities. I won’t be surprised to see them deployed ‘for reasons of international security’.

Miscalculated the distance somewhat; ended up being 133km. Beautiful though.

For tomorrow’s ride we’re heading south: out along the Greenway and Cooks River cycleway to the highway; then south to Bald Hill/Stanwell Tops. Then turn around and head home. Should be about 115km all up.

The NACC robodebt report: A heartbreaking work of staggering incompetence Rick Morton wrote the book on robodebt. He delivers a damning verdict on the NACC's long-awaited robodebt report, which exonerated Scott Morrison and Kathryn Campbell.

The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...

Another one of those things we've a) known about for decades; b) known how to do for decades; and c) done fuck all about instead.

Single frame. Title: “Meanwhile, in a Syrian refugee camp”. Scene is refugee camp in washed out colour with tents, adult and child carrying babs in background. Foreground: woman in robe and hijab holding a soccer ball speaks to three young children saying, “Pay attention kids. This could be our only hope.”

Game of hope.

In announcing the relaxation of fuel standards Energy Minister Bowen took the opportunity to highlight Australia's need to invest significantly in electrification and renewable energy as a strategic priority to deliver energy independence.

JK: He never mentioned it all.

In fairness to the RBA, this is the only tool they have at their disposal. If they had other ways of fucking over poor people we’d see some variety.
