Do you remember the deal @albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social did with the LNP remnants to establish a # NACC
…and how has that turned out?
Not hard to forecast the effect of a duopoly β€˜deal’ on environmental protections (a political oxymoron)

Take the 15 minutes to watch this. Be clear that the agenda. Of course we know this - but it's completely ignored by the govt and media. #FreePalestine

Global CO2 emissions plateau
Global CO2 emissions from the power sector fell marginally by 12 MtCO2 (-0.2%) to 6,963 MtCO2 in the first half of 2025. The decline was possible because solar and wind power exceeded demand growth and led to a slight fall in fossil fuel use. Without solar and wind growth, emissions would have risen by an estimated 236 MtCO2 (+3.9%) globally, which is equivalent to almost all emissions (251 MtCO2) from Africa in H1-2025.

At the country level, there was significant variation. Among the four economies that account for the majority of global emissions (64%), emissions fell in China (-46 MtCO2, -1.7%) and India (-24 MtCO2, -3.6%), as clean electricity outpaced growth in demand in those countries.

In contrast, emissions rose in the EU (+13 MtCO2, +4.8%), where strong growth in solar was outweighed by shortfalls in wind, hydro and bioenergy, leading to higher gas and coal generation. Emissions also rose in the US (+33 MtCO2, +4.3%), as clean electricity growth was smaller than demand growth, leading to an increase in coal generation, which was exacerbated by gas-to-coal switching.

A complete flip of the usual pattern we see in these updates - China's and India's emissions fell, and EU and US emissions increased.....

So sick of hearing the much parroted

"Hamas killed around 1,200 people on October 7."

NO, THEY DIDN'T.

Israel killed at least half and the damage to cars (burnt out) and kibbutz buildings was from Israeli helicopter gunships.

Hamas has no such capability.

@australianlabor.bsky.social you have failed to stand up against genocide and do the bare minimum. Your complicity will never be forgotten.

why is it always about the Israeli hostages but never about the many thousands of Palestinians held without reason in Israeli concentration camps many of them from way back before Oct 7 they are also hostages and now proven to be subject to torture starvation and rape but never mentioned

I don't condone Hamas. Release the hostages. But to pretend that's all the story is, ignoring 67,000 minimum people killed by Isreal, missing that this situation is more than 50 years old, or that Netanyahu is an extremist right wing fascist is to not tell the whole story. Shame on you #abc #auspol

Australians overwhelmingly back sanctions on Israel, new poll finds 'Sizeable majority' of voters across political lines want Israel to end genocide in Gaza

In an application of the UK's Terrorism Act, British police officers have arrested a blind man whose sole action was to publicly hold a placard bearing the phrases 'I oppose genocide' and 'I support #Palestine Action'.

Could the National Press Club be less embarrassing and less complicit in the genocide of Palestine/the West's decline into overt fascism, pretty, pretty, pretty please? πŸ™ Cancelling Chris Hedges' talk on the betrayal of Palestinian journalists only proves his point. Truly, truly pathetic

Not a fan of Mark Dreyfus but it looks like @albomp.bsky.social rolled him on more open hearings for the NACC.

Albanese looking more and more like a sleeper agent for everything we don't want.

He's a blinkered autocrat. I no longer think he's cautious. I think he actively backs the wrong side.

At least 53 Palestinians killed in fresh wave of Israeli attacks on Gaza Military offensive stepped up as Hamas leaders consider Trump’s 20-point peace plan

The racists in the UK are not the ones attending pro-Palestine marches this weekend.

The racists in the UK are the ones saying that you shouldn’t protest 53 Palestinians being murdered because two Jewish people were also murdered on the same day.

Some of us can condemn both.

The utter arrogance and ego of @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social trying to justify Labor's smoke and mirrors fossil fuel support policies is appalling. Excellent attempt by @climatecouncil.org.au to hold a conversation. But with this spin we're sunk. Not that we didn't already know that! #auspol

I count myself amongst the inactive. But the more I look at our situation I know there's no comfortable way out. If we want a better world we have to find courage,get off our arses, take to the streets, strike, protest and reorganise. Knowing the empire will strike back. Who's got the mettle?

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S.

AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers.

Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

At a departure gate in Abu Dhabi listening to 3 aging white Australians talking loudly about foreigners and how immigration is killing us. Saying all the young people are voting wrong! Oh and tradies need less regulation. Entertaining but frightening, wrong and totally embarrassing.

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social must get off the fence. They CANNOT out Liberal the Liberals. They’ll force people into the arms of Christian Nationalists because people want LEADERS NOT PREVARICATORS.

Our only hope are the independents. And I’m not sure about some of them.
