Nice @rodcampbell.bsky.social demonstration here of the sheer scale of Australia's export of fossil gas - Inpex alone exports more than domestic consumption for SA, Vic, NSW.

Aus' gas export industry is a profit engine for multinationals: nothing more

Uncertainty over Australian Abrams tanks donated to Ukraine Operations stall at a logistics hub in Poland that is expected to soon receive Australian Abrams tanks donated to Ukraine's war effort.

One might reasonable think Defence could deploy military hardware to foreign shores. Yet sending desperately needed Abrams tanks to Ukraine, as ordered by Govt in October, seems beyond them πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. Are you happy with this performance Richard Marles? #asupol

Graph shows microplastic levels in brain going from around 3300ug per gramme of brain tissue in 2016 to nearly 5000ug in 2024. No increase in kidney, although liver shows increase too

Graph shows microplastic levels in brain going from around 3300ug per gramme of brain tissue in 2016 to nearly 5000ug in 2024. No increase in kidney, although liver shows increase too

Why this wasn't front page news yesterday is beyond me.

We know microplastics can act as vectors for toxins, and further exposure and rises in brain plastic content are near certainty baked in

NACC finds β€œno corruption” – spends $140m to date The embattled National Anti-Corruption Commission has completed its first three investigations – and found zero corruption.

After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?

It has found no corruption.

The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment.

Take-off aborted in runway drama at Melbourne Airport An Etihad plane with nearly 300 passengers was forced to abort its take-off from Melbourne Airport on Sunday night when two tyres exploded.

I wonder what the temperature of the tarmac was at the time? The air temperature was about 38Β°C.

Peter Dutton was part of a govt that for 9 years, drove people on benefits into the ground, chasing some for a measly $10.50, and even, causing some to suicide

And now this vainglorious plaster-saint tells Australians he's had high-level legal advice, but we can't be told its value

Oh the stench

Coalition frontbencher says voters conned into backing independents Opposition communications spokesman Paul Fletcher, facing a battle against an independent at the next election, says teals had duped traditional Coalition supporters.

Conspiratorial tosh from my current Federal member. No, Mr Fletcher, the Teals won & you risk losing your seat because voters detested the Morrison govt & the way the 2 party duopoly ignores women, the environment & integrity in govt. Look to yourselves. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

True. The engagement rates here are higher. But the engagement itself is also thoughtful & generally not toxic. Aus media is a bit behind on this one. I’d love to see more of us here - esp official news sites. It’s clear this community is thirsting for information. www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...
