You’re 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.

Queenslander here. I’m so fucking embarrassed by these idiots.

That’s hilarious, bravo!

The Tesla Model 3’s Worst Nightmare Has Arrived In China The BYD Seal 07 sedan costs far less than the Tesla Model 3 in China, but leads in charging performance and overall tech.

Goodbye Tesla.

" ... The result is EVs that can add 90% of their range in nearly the same time it takes to fill a gas tank. Most new EVs in the U.S. still need 20 to 40 minutes of high-speed charging to add a meaningful amount of range."

Media release from Henderson Labor must establish independent inquiry into ABC’s impartiality failures The Albanese government must establish an urgent independent inquiry into the ABC’s impartiality failures following its deeply offensive, one-sided coverage of the Iran war. The ABC’s statutory obligation to disseminate news and information impartially and accurately is critical to public trust in the national broadcaster. Senior America’s reporter, John Lyons, has shockingly failed that test. In response to a government statement that "Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression,” Mr Lyons labelled this as ‘political propaganda’ claiming if the Prime Minister was telling the truth, he should have said 'Australia stands with Israel and the US in their new war on Iran’.

Failed MP, and pity hire in the Senate, Sarah Henderson, is upset that John Lyons is doing journalism.

Charles on-board made me think I was watching Mario-Kart!!🏎️

Curious to see how far down the grid Ferrari can qualify this year and still be leading at turn one.

Saw some firsthand in ACT in late 80’s, had a mate who was a constable. Just blatant disregard of any laws with respect to drinking on duty/ DUI. Easy to imagine worse, but I was from Brisbane, and Qld Police made ACTPo look like amateurs in the corruption stakes.

That’s pretty fucked. What’s worse is, it’s not surprising. 😞

How were there no consequences for the malicious / perjorous prosecution?

White Supremacy and the Amazing “Schrödinger’s Cop” Contradictory records presented by the Australian Federal Police for the same day regarding entirely separate matters demonstrate manipulation of evidence.

Racism rarely appears only as singular, isolated acts. It also reproduces itself through institutional choices, networks of protection, and the willingness of organisations to prefer reputational shelter over transparency.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Eva at her nest tonight on a very wet Pukenui/Anchor Island. Her chick Evohe-A2 is doing ok and her foster egg underneath her is about to hatch. #kakapo #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds

#Australia Every Australian who hadn't already purchased solar panels and or an EV, really should given what we are seeing from the Epstein war. Even loans to purchase might be seen as an investment

All valid points for you and others. Affordability will change, but if you can’t afford one, you can’t afford one! Picanto is ~$20k, BYD Atto 1 is ~$24k. GAC Aion UT rumoured to undercut that price when it arrives. Atto 1 slightly longer than Picanto (40 cm). Lots with buttons, and I too am Fugly!

Iran war sends Aussies into meltdown as OIL Prices Skyrocket - EV Sales SURGE YouTube video by The Electric Viking

Over 4 million Australian households with rooftop solar installed. Less than 10% of these households own a Battery Electric Vehicle. Completely nuts (just like fuel prices) #auspol #electrifyeverything
Though I did see that Petrol ICE car sales are slowly declining.

Long queues at servos as petrol prices surge amid Middle East war Petrol retailers across the nation are being accused of "unconscionable" behaviour by preying on people's anxieties as fuel prices surge in the midst of the Middle East war.

Got a few errands to run this morning. Fair bit of driving. Will probably get home and charge my EV battery with solar.

Petrol prices are nuts at the moment.

Wildcards that could crash Australian superannuation A major market meltdown would change the financial plans of millions of Australians overnight. With the Middle East war, how likely is it?

One of things I didn’t factor-in when deciding to retire in 2024 was that a cretinous man-baby would completely disrupt the global economy so thoroughly in such a short time….

Yeah, not my original post, but I fully get the sense of outrage. I gotta stop hitting BlueSky before bed and rage-quote-posting 😵‍💫

I love these little guys!! I’ve seen one this year in our garden, but that’s it (SEQ)

Qld Labor refuses to support the Crisafulli govt's criminalisation of speech saying the process of the bill was botched. However, once the Qld Governor grants royal assent these two phrases will be illegal with a penalty of up to 2 years imprisonment. Lord Pocketsquare gnashed his teeth. #qldpol
