Yes that is 2nd in the whole world.

The IMF reports on 191 countries.

We are also only 1 of 7 out 191 countries with a "AAA" credit rating.

Better than the USA etc.

So, if the media, the Libs, the Nats, One Nation, are saying things are bad in Oz, I think we can safely assume they are lying.

Why solar power is the only viable power source in the long run Not only is solar more than capable of supplying all the world’s energy, in the long term it is the only power source that won’t fry the planet

Can’t pay, won’t pay: impoverished streaming services are driving viewers back to piracy As subscription costs rise and choice diminishes on legal sites, film and TV fans are turning to VPNs and illicit streamers, with Sweden – home of both Spotify and The Pirate Bay – leading the way

The enshittification of streaming services does no one any good.

Not creators, not viewers, and not providers, as people abandon them.

I really miss video stores. It turns out, that was the high point.

Film critic David Stratton dies aged 85 His family announced his death on Thursday afternoon, saying he died peacefully in hospital near his home in the Blue Mountains.

Well, there he goes. Greatest Australian film critic of all time. Changed the industry. Changed the culture. Sure as hell changed me.

idk how people can claim to be Australian patriots, yet fight against the embrace of our utterly unique 65,000+ cultural history.

Forget nuclear, Australia is on fast lane to 100pc renewables - Michael West A massive increase in solar power generation capacity is already putting Australia on the fast track to a 100% renewable energy future.

Forget the 'sun don't shine, wind don't blow' fossil urgers, Australia is heading to 100% renewables and solar is leading the charge #auspol

The best education systems in the world are 100% public. When every kid goes to public school all parents, including the rich ones, want the public schools to be good. Oh, and its great for social cohesion.

But in Australia, we talk about being evidence based but ignore the evidence all the time

4 key changes you may have missed in the new school funding agreement

In some good news for Australian students, there is now a firm plan to ‘fully fund’ public schools by 2034.

Peter Dutton says the technology to store renewable energy doesn’t exist yet

Well Mr Dutton, today we announced 4 big batteries in WA than can together power 600,000 households.

Not that you ever let facts get in the way.

Tariffs on our steel and aluminium are one thing, but one of you messes with a single wombat joey and the wrath of our entire nation will rain down upon you

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

Cancel AUKUS. It compromises our sovereignty. The subs are not going to arrive. There’s no waste solution. It sucks millions from the things we actually need - and can be delivered: essential health, dental, well funded public schools, early childhood education and care.

The least I can do is share this
