Hot take:

The Lib’s are now hard right fringe dwellers.
Labor is the centre right party and the Greens the centre left…?

Socialists become the progressive left?
Question is whether the Lib’s now split?

OMFG

Liberals pave way to ditch net zero and settle infighting Months of bitter infighting between Liberals over the party's climate policy could be drawing to a close, with MPs paving the way for net zero to be formally abandoned at a shadow ministry meeting on ...

Part of me wants to celebrate, because they're awful, and this will destroy them, but:

1. Many people still agree with them.
2. It's not funny, the science is clear, it's an existential issue.
3. It just makes life even easier for Labor, another ecocidal party.

LNP’s disarray on climate is going to give a lot of cover to Labor’s sub standard performance #auspol

Liberal Party hoping to fuck the planet harder than they fucked their chances at the next election

The party denied completely abandoning everything net zero related, saying they are still on track for net zero election wins by 2050. chaser.com.au/national/lib...

Full length view of a long draped ivory silk dress with short sleeves. It has a broad, high black velvet sash that wraps around the body and falls to the floor at the back

Back view of the long ivory silk dress that shows how the wrap of the black velvet sash falls the full length of the garment

A bodice view of the ivory silk dress that shows the short chiffon sleeves, square neckline and arrangement of the black sash

The cleverest designs are often those that look most effortless. This 1913 gown by Lucile and worn by Heather Firbank appears to be a twist of ivory silk caught in folds by a high sash of black velvet. Of course the reality is so much more complex #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Tonight was a very bad night.

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Ketan Joshi's Irrational Climate Reset

I am calling for a return to the wild, unacceptable and unthinkably weird idea that we can decide not to live under the thumb of an expensive, deadly and ancient fossil fuel economy

No more hand-wringing about pragmatism. Be idealistic, and don't be sorry 🤜🏽

Secret report challenges government claim WA gas will help world decarbonise A secret report undermines the WA government's claim that domestic gas production is helping the rest of the world decarbonise, while the state's own greenhouse gas emissions rise.

"The report.......substantiates claims the country's gas export industry could be hampering global efforts to decarbonise, according to climate and energy analysts"

A leaked report confirms carpet-bombing other countries with fossil fuel exports actively stifles renewable energy development -->>>

I read this and immediately thought “well that would actually be awesome because then Marty can go back to the 90s where he probably had a really awesome time as a teenager” and then I was like oh wait his PARENTS would have been teenagers in the 90s and then I just sat here for like 45 minutes

COP out

Nailed it.

Anti-corruption commission watchdog inquiring into NACC chief Brereton The inspector of the National Anti-Corruption Commission is inquiring into the agency's head, Paul Brereton, in relation to several complaints including from a former employee.

How much longer is this farce of a sideshow going to continue?

NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, is once again embroiled in controversy.

The NACC Inspector, Gail Furness is currently investigating several complaints against Mr Brereton.

His position is untenable.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

🧵The @albomp.bsky.social govt’s regard for the environment lies somewhere between indifference & hostility

Devolving Cwealth powers of enviro protection to the states & territories under Bilateral Agreements is a continuation of the contempt with which they have treated environmental policy-making:

If you buy potato chips that have less salt they charge you more.

If you buy cereal with less sugar they charge you more.

Organic food costs more.

Any attempt to become a healthier shopper costs you more.

You get penalized.

Patterns and fractals.

It’s working exactly as intended, which is to be seen to be doing something whilst actually doing nothing at all…
RIP transparency and accountability 🪦

Cake is a pleasant dessert.

The Nationals want an emissions reduction target equal to the average of the emissions cut across OECD countries.

Purely on the maths of that: if all OECD countries adopted the same target, it would mean an emissions cut target of 0%

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Yep, just another @australianlabor.bsky.social politician assuring his highly-paid industry lobbying job post-politics.
