Why are bogan Australians trying hard to sabotage a brilliant diplomatic tool and an economic opportunity for our closest neighbour?

'While no one was killed during the 9 October protests, the events at the Sydney Opera House were akin to a Port Arthur moment in terms of their social significance.'
— Liberal Leader Peter Dutton,
Comparing pro-Palestine protests to the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre. 😡 #auspol

Could Dutton be any more conflicted with subsidies? Wants nuclear that would require subsidies but doesn’t want green hydrogen subsidies.

I live in a two bedroom terrace house because I live in a city and can’t find a smaller single bedroom apartment that’s affordable.

The two bedroom terrace could easily be three.

Where are the policies to help me move and the terrace be added onto? #insiders

Detail Dutton is very light on detail. #insiders

Gas for the future of manufacturing?

Australia exports 1,070% MORE gas than Australia's entire manufacturing industry uses.

Our manufacturing industry could use 10% MORE gas and STILL use less gas than is used by the gas industry to convert gas to LNG. #auspol #insiders

We spend far more subsidising fossil fuels right now than we plan to spend on a Future Made in Australia in the decade ahead…there was $1.4bn for the Middle Arm gas project in Albo’s first budget…more than the new solar announcement. We need to stop doing harm #insiders #auspol

Jim Chalmers is refreshingly competent. #insiders

The cost of building went up over 50% during Covid and it has not come down. That’s why so many projects not going ahead that is a major cause of the housing supply issue. #insiders

If immigration caused a housing crisis why did the crisis begin during Covid with our boarders closed? #insiders

So sick of every debate being filtered through the LNP views. The majority voted against those views. #insiders

An extremely long thread on visiting Paris by me: someone interested in cycle infrastructure and making public spaces better.

The last decade’s change is so positive and has been huge: what have they done and how have they done it?

Ouch! “Gorgon is the simplest and most straightforward form of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and it has kept on failing. It’s the poster child for the fact that CCS is bullshit.” Great column from Bernard Keane #auspol #climate

Environment minister rejects proposed #solar and green hydrogen project surrounded by hundreds of #coal seam #gas wells and which was to be sited next to a big gas refinery.

Billionaires say Jobkeeper was better

Gina Rinehart released a somewhat unhinged video statement last night. The subtext seems to be she'll BUY THE NATIONAL GALLERY‼️
