OECD report shows LNP climate irrelevance, while Safeguard Mechanism among least effective emissions reduction schemes in world The report demonstrates that Australia’s safeguard mechanism remains one of the least effective programs for reducing emissions, and relies the most on carbon credits.

While everyone’s having fun laughing at the Coalition’s ‘climate policy’ Labor is munching popcorn and enjoying the complete lack of scrutiny of its failed ‘Safeguard Mechanism’.

If only tackling #climate change just required being better than the Coalition…

Meta plans $1 billion data center in Beaver Dam The facility is expected to be completed in 2027 and will support 100 jobs, according to state officials.

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement.

It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it.

My 3 climate home truths: 1) The climate damage from fossil fuels is permanent. 2) without an explicit plan by govts to quickly end fossil fuel use we’re losing the human friendly climate. 3) Without subsidies and a free pass on climate damage the fossil carbon corps assets are stranded.

If interested in the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's tardiness in responding to dimethoate residue in blueberries, recall that Barnaby kludged that organisation by abruptly shifting it to Armidale in 2017. Staff were reportedly working in McDonalds, for internet access.

Only 28 % of agreed amount of aid in the ceasefire agreement is being allowed into Gaza by Israel.

And the agreed 600 trucks per day themselves wouldn't have been enough.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Reagan started this mess. As we know, his "Trickle Down" economics is a major player in the erosion of the middle class and the extreme wealth accumulated by the top 1%, as we know it today. He should have labeled it "Toxic Capitalism," because that's exactly what it is.

One simple way to lift children out of poverty More than 40 per cent of children in single-parent households live in poverty in Australia. Enforcing child support payments would go a long way towards fixing the problem.

Great article. Scandalous what men (mostly) get away with. I still feel angry when thinking about my sister and her kid’s father. Not fair on carers at all.

Pauline Hanson skips parliament to speak at conservative conference at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago One Nation leader also seen with Gina Rinehart – and many of her talking points align with mining magnate

Australia Institute polling reveals only 8% of Australians are genuinely convinced Australia “shares values” with Trump’s America.

That's a relief, because ...

EXPOSED: ICE agents grabbed a father by the neck in Fitchburg, Massachusetts — sending him into a violent seizure while his arms locked around his toddler.

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of his hands!”

Agents then handcuffed him before putting him in an ambulance.

The Government That Isn’t: Labor’s Masterclass in Looking Busy Let’s be kind. Just sitting in the driver’s seat is enough for some. Then there’s the Competence Trap: the myth that good administration is an end in itself. Of course, we can’t rule out stage [...]

“With 94 seats, its largest majority since 1943, Labor governs with the courage of a bunny caught in the headlights, terrified of using its power. Keating would have reshaped the country with these numbers.”

Tackling the root cause means accelerating a just transition and phasing out coal, oil, and gas.

Labor also letting us down we need more greens and independents

Just a friendly reminder that with the Nats and the majority of the Libs opposing net zero, they are SUPPORTING pollution, climate change, and an increase in severe weather events that destroy the lives of so many in our country.

Those just one reason out of many why we should NEVER elect the LNP.

Sooo disappointed in Labor

What really makes me angry is when the Labor government promises to do better than the opaque and very entitled LNP if elected, end up just being exactly the same. Labor is treating us with contempt by changing FOI rules, refusing to release the Briggs report, etc. do better, @albomp.bsky.social.

I want my tax dollars spent on taking care of our fellow Americans, not marble bathrooms or useless, gaudy ballrooms none of them will ever step foot in. That's why I'll always vote for people who care about others more than they care about themselves.

You couldn’t make this sh!t up……

Wait, not only could this be made up, it actually happened. LNP sh!magnets such as Andrew Hastie, Barnaby Joyce (plus 2 other imbeciles) think women will have “late term abortions” just to get some paid leave.
