Trying to tread softly. Love accounts from ppl I’d otherwise never know. Hoping here can be a bit like the early days of that other place. Location: Australia

Agreed, but the extraordinary thing is they will still be competitive. Endless talk about cost of power etc, aided by a lazy media more interested in confected drama than facts.

"On the day of the approval, Tassal started using florfenicol at two salmon farm leases at Dover in Tasmania's far south, and other companies are expected to begin using it soon."

Australian politics 101: Getting the lessons wrong every time If one thing is true for all mainstream political parties, it’s that they will always learn the wrong lessons.

🎯 "But Labor is still looking to the Liberals for approval on policies where it wants the status quo to continue." The government were given a mandate to change & the list of what most of the community want changed 🐌 🦗 #Auspol

Agreed but so depressing. I live in a Teal seat with ‘switched on’ ppl, choosy consumers but have a blind spot for this Frankenfish!!!!

Same, we could end this practice if ppl just stopped buying this stuff. Why don’t the majority ever unite for a small sacrifice.

I think after all is said and done we’re gonna have to rebrand America to some other name like “Balgatra” and pretend like the other stuff never happened. “That was all America and we in Balgatra also thought it was bad”

WTAF? Did I fall asleep in Australia and wake up in America? Keep your religious claptrap to yourself. With every passing year, religion and faith play less of a role in Australian society. We certainly don't need to hear our politicians blathering on about it. #auspol

I find the words from Attorney-General Michelle Rowland, conflating her religious beliefs with her role as Australia's Attorney-General, to be dangerous, disturbing, shallow and ignorant. #auspol #auslaw #religion

It still blows my mind that Republicans have no greater hate than for a Democrat veteran. Kerry IIRC actually did 2 tours of Vietnam.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Australia becomes world’s third-largest utility battery market Australia has overtaken the United Kingdom to rank behind China and the United States in utility-scale battery capacity, with 14 GW/37 GWh of projects at or nearing financial close.

"Australia is also the first nation to surpass 1 GWh of utility battery capacity per million people, launching it into a league of its own, far ahead of China and the United States, each with less than 400 MWh per 1 million people."

End all funding every single private employment services provider.

Salt the earth so those in change of them never get any public money ever again - run them out of the country.

Get rid of mutual obligations

Bring back the CES

Raise the fricken rate

Ain’t hard.

The Commish doesn’t have an executive assistant to do this sort of thing? It’s unconscionable. The fact he says it’s only his first mistake since June would be comical if not so serious. The standard you walk pass…blah blah blah

I don’t really care now. I mean I was a member, booth captain etc and their total lack of courage is soul destroying. They went to the election with that policy & won a thumping majority. Albo is now the the Howard of the ALP. I bet they have contempt for us old supporters.

As of now there is nothing Albanese's govt has done that has changed the country in any structural way.

No change at all to how the fundamental debates of the nation are addressed.
