Been thinking how much our generation came of age when disruption was the major paradigm when actually a lot of human needs comes under the umbrella of the opposite of innovation: maintenance and care.
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

It is as though America were not a reliable treaty partner nor ally, a lesson for Australia
David Littleproud resigns.
The hypocrisy is so dangerous. While signing us up for an illegal war & claiming it champions human rights of the Iranian people, the Albanese Gov is ramming thru new laws to ban people from #Iran with valid visas from entering Australia.

I read about the US-Israeli bombing of oil depots causing horrific polluted rain across Iran. Iranians have reportedly been experiencing breathing difficulties and headaches.
If you work in environmental or social justice, we must stand against war and for peace. No war! #nowar
Feeling this too
I see this as about as meaningful a signal of reality as share prices or Kalshi / Polymarket bets on mass death and suffering. I guess it's an accurate reflection of the feelings of credulous, rich and greedy people?
Ok I’ll do it. I’ll lead the National Party. My first big policy change? All Nats must now chew a long piece of straw whenever they are in Parliament or on TV.

And here’s a petition, led by five local medical professionals, asking the Federal member, mayor, and police to investigate the matter properly.

"A 37-year-old man was interviewed by police at the scene and was then given a direction to move on."
It seems staggeringly unlikely if a Muslim came in throwing fists, threatening to kill people and shouting anti-semitic slogans at kids during Hannukah they'd be allowed to leave peacefully.
"It doesn’t matter what the person using these expressions meant by them, whether there was any intention to cause this kind of harm, or whether any member of the public heard or saw them. The penalty is up to two years’ imprisonment."
"Public schools were established in Australia in the 19th century to overcome bitter divisions between Catholics and Protestants. Ever since, the system has been at the frontline of the development of a multicultural society." satpa.pe/2OZiNT1
Littleproud resigns. Never has a man achieved so little so often apart from his one true accomplishment - exhibiting the ultimate nominative determinism.
The massive rise in Islamophobia, consciously fuelled by large sections of the media, is a national disgrace.
I'd love to hear the PM and LOTO speak out about this and the dangers of white supremacy but ....crickets
The name's Crude- Brent Crude
Disappointed I was the only MP to vote against 2nd reading of Govt-Oppn bill that will give the Minister power to stop entire classes of temp visa holders arriving in Aus. A discriminatory policy letting the Govt decide which imperilled ppl are worth saving. #auspol #politas
Analysts theorise the PM won’t hesitate to deploy ground troops to Iran if the price of beer is also impacted.
