Thanks & solidarity to @chexabonus.bsky.social @kathmadgwick.bsky.social for your relentless pursuit of justice for Robodebt victims.

We are sorry for this devastating outcome, but your actions and those of everyone who stopped this scheme reverberate in the ongoing fight for a safe welfare system.

Iran’s Oil Exports Are Making Trump Look Pretty Foolish Right Now Oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have halted—except for Iran’s.

Ah yes, as soon as Grammarly started on the AI train, I switched it off. I only used it for checking for passive voice but it was the signal that the people behind it were grifters.

It’s just good practice - company says it’s doing AI, switch it off.

The fact that a Koch Brothers-funded front group is attacking @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and me over our book #ScienceUnderSiege (bookshop.org/p/books/scie...) is such an amusing, unintentional affirmation of what we have to say about who is behind the right-wing war on science!

Foreign Facebook pages have been promoting One Nation. It wants them to stop An ABC NEWS Verify investigation uncovers a raft of foreign Facebook accounts targeting Australian users. And they're just the tip of the iceberg.

🔎 Excellent investigation by Michael Workman from ABC Verify on one of the weirder AI/politics/scam campaigns I've seen in recent times. But, as my @qutdmrc.bsky.social colleague Timothy Graham says, probably just the tip of the iceberg. 🫤

If there was ever a moment for Australia’s shift to renewables and EVs, this is it Yes, Australia needs fuel. But the Middle East war also shows the necessity of setting ourselves up for the future

“more than ever, going big on renewable energy makes sense, financially and from a national security perspective.”

Being "quietly alarmed" is what the moderate Liberals used to do all the time, right up until they all lost their seats. Grow a spine or don't bother.

Will Barnaby defect back from One Nation and run for leader? 🤣🤣

I also had a mini as my first car in the early 80s (Leyland version). I think it was around $8 to completely fill it from empty, but I usually put $5 in.

Thanks Pauline. 😡

Why didn’t Albanese offer our nuclear submarines to assist the UAE? #auspol

Seriously @davidshoebridge.bsky.social is the ONLY #politician who can still communicate a #principled position. So grateful.

“Iran has some Tomahawks.”

Gonna need a factcheck on that one.

Must have missed the FMS announcement for sale of TLAMs to Iran.

If only the BBC had journalists that could look into this 😕

"I think the current crisis absolutely vindicates China's push to electrify everything, notably road transport... wouldn't be surprised we see China push to be even bigger & bolder to transition to clean energy & electrify everything" Erica Downes from Colombia CGEP on BBG TV just now.

Why the USA can't afford anything.

No more going to USA’s wars. We should not sacrifice for Americans. 3 yrs Korea, 11 yrs Vietnam, 20 yrs Afghanistan, 10 yrs Iraq. These nations were not attacking us or USA. 1951 ANZUS Treaty was for both nations to act together in case of an armed attack in the Pacific. The Pacific not Middle East

Only old men can afford an Aston, so maybe it's a lucrative sideline.

Ocon & Gasly still fighting like team mates who hate each other, years after they were team mates. #F1

Aston Martin are finally getting some testing miles in. #F1

So far the #F1 racing under the new regulations has been intense.
I think the drivers will all be burnt out by the 5th GP of the season.

I suspect a sudden, unexpected surge in electric torque at the corner exit. 😥
