Photo of Anthony Albanese in the House of Representatives NEW EPISODE | FFS: fossil fuel subsidies cost Australia $30,000 a minute Listen to Dollars & Sense now via the link or wherever you get your podcasts.
Youβre meant to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of.
Yet Australian governments are handing out $16.3 billion in subsidies for fossil fuels.
@mattgrudnoff.bsky.social & @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social discuss why on this episode of Dollars & Sense.

Subsidies to mining companies growing faster than the NDIS, child care, aged care.
Australian gov fossil fuel subsidies now at $30,000 every minute of every day.
Great piece on @australiainstitute.org.au latest research

"Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians"
"Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank, writes Diana Buttu for Zeteo. "Don't look away."
The last slide!!! π€£π
Just so you guys know, gas stations in Australia have started running out of fuel. Thanks for that.
Images verified by Human Rights Watch show Israel fired white phosphorus in populated areas of southern Lebanon.
This is what ecocide looks like.

Who profits from the war Albanese is backing? The billionaires & corporations who profit from oil & weapons manufacturing. For them, war is a business model. Meanwhile every day people pay with their lives. Labor cannot continue to support Trump & Netanyahu's illegal war!

Seriously?
Not just dubai. Cannot imagine how many are stuck in other places that transit the ME - including
business people, tourists to Australia- media seems to have focussed on people who were visiting the area, forgetting about 100m go through their airports .. (incl me last week on a 5 day work tripπ)
We rushed outside when I saw your post but quite cloudy here in Sydney
Cool refraction-y light though
"A new chokehold on #Gaza.
Once again, Israel is renewing its ban on supplies entering Gaza."

And refugees.
Pre civil war, Syria had 20m people, 5.5/6m are still refugees.
Iran has a population of 90m.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.
Not the first person to say this but in a world of cheap drones and short range missiles running your economy on Cote du Cretaceous Plankton juice (fossil fuel) from a live fire zone seems to be a bad idea. #EnergySky

The life's work of anyone who gives a damn about humanity is to resist the economic elite, demand the taxes that reduce their power and defend the space in which the rest of us can thrive. If your "elected representatives" aren't helping with that, they are not your representatives, but theirs.

Can confirm watched almost all of it on a double long haul this week. Made me very glad Iβm not depending on the US health system though.
Are any of the politicians supported by Advance going to decry this insane racism?
The breathtaking deceit of framing the $55M fine for 6 years of ILLEGAL CLEARING as "unprecedented" when it went on for 15 YEARS
