In a MASSIVE win for transparency and accountability, the Full Federal Court has rejected Mark Dreyfus’s argument that ministers should be allowed to shred official docs when they leave office. He’s going to have to feed his secrecy addiction in some other way. 1/3 #auspol

Learn your history! The Palestinians have been slaughtering Christians and Jews in the most heinous ways for DECADES, including in 1976 in my home country of Lebanon. This is the truth everyone must understand.

Japan is reselling Australian LNG. For a profit. #auspol #climate According to our research, in the last 4 years, Australians gave away the gas that made $149 billion worth of LNG, royalty-free. Yasmine Wright Gittins, Anne Kantor Fellow, breaks it down.

My heart is absolutely broken for these people - just tragic stuff. If the Albanese govt changes the legislation around neg gearing concessions, Eddie might even be forced to downsize to 105. Or even worse - 104 properties. 🎻

Once you understand Kardashev Scale, it becomes utterly obvious that essentially all energy generation will be solar. Also, just do the math on solar on Earth and you soon figure out that a relatively small corner of Texas or New Mexico can easily serve all US electricity.
