New Honest Government Ad is out! Featuring special guest @punterspolitix 🐨Video linky in replies
People across Garamilla/Darwin - and the country - are grieving as one of the last wildlife corridors in Darwin, habitat for Gouldian Finches, black footed tree rats and northern brushtail possums, and 270 bird species, was flattened this week for defence housing.
Leaving this here for the next time someone says we "can't afford" to increase JobSeeker. In Australia, we force our unemployed to live off just 28% of average earnings, the lowest in the OECD as a % of avg earnings. #auspol #insiders #budget2024
Unbelievable
"If something is a priority, they find the money." Increasing JobSeeker to 90% of the aged pension is possible, it’s just a question of choices, says @GrogsGamut. Hear more on the latest episode of Dollars & Sense. #auspol #ausecon australiainstitute.org.au/post/increasin…
The boiling continues in #India. Millions have no access to air conditioning, and water supplies in many regions are being stretched. A global 2C increase will make many parts of this region #uninhabitable during the #summer months. #Adaptation and #mitigation are urgent.
The budget reveals what governments actually care about. And Labor has chosen to keep jobseekers in poverty theguardian.com/business/grogo…

Day 4 of telling motorists in Perth that 90% of WA's gas is exported, mostly royalty-free. #auspol
We are getting a peek into the global inferno to come. Peak June summer temps being experienced in #Asia already and it’s only May 1st. Parts of the #Philippines hit a lung burning life threatening 53C heat index. The world you grew up in no longer exists. Mitigation is urgent.
Burma just recorded its hottest ever April at 48.2C (118F) 🌡️ 1000s of schools across Southeast Asia have closed. By 2100, 3 to 6 billion could live in unhabitable regions. It's either a revolution against the carbon regime or the slow extinction of our species. You choose.
Cool. Let's do it then, now that you have ended the fear campaign that it will destroy house prices. At least we can end one rort that benefits the richest.

Interesting thread here. The Chief Economist of Australia's leading conservative think tank has "no opinion" on his staff's work on energy. In fact, he has no opinion on anything he has not read all the literature on.

How will @tanya_plibersek’s time as Environment Minister be remembered?
No we do not have a gas shortage. No we do not need more gas fields. No gas is not a transition fuel
So @tanya_plibersek found Whitehaven Coal is a "suitable person" to take over a Qld coal mine because her department found "no env compliance matters to report". JFC, just search for "Whitehaven enviro breach"!!! epbcpublicportal.awe.gov.au/all-notices/pr…
Keeping Eraring open is another example of taxpayers subsidising fossil fuels - which already costs more than $11 billion a year. Investments in renewable energy and storage are cheaper & more reliable than coal, and much better for our climate. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

@MarkOgge Great piece, Mark, so great that Woodside decided to advertise on it:
Ever heard the argument that Australia needs to open more gas fields, because of "shortages"? Well, its wrong - and here is why. Great work by @MarkOgge and @TheAusInstitute
WA’s gas shortage is a joke – at the public’s expense. Read why. watoday.com.au/national/weste…
"Can you imagine Qatar or Saudi Arabia panicking about a gas or oil shortage? It would be a joke." "And in Western Australia, gas companies are laughing all the way to the bank." @MarkOgge debunks the 'gas shortage' myth in WA Today. #wapol #auspol watoday.com.au/national/weste…
@SandgroperDuff @MarkOgge Pray, do tell: how much in royalties and tax? What percentage of the budget? How much employment does it provide? #EndCorruption #EndFossilFuels
FACT: Most of the gas in WA is exported without any royalties collected, meaning Western Australians are missing out. Our research is exposing the truth on a billboard in the middle of Perth today. #auspol
