#Labor much enjoys big ministerial salaries & being driven around in big cars. If you can enjoy perks without doing heavy lifting, why wouldn’t you? Albo can’t think of a reason. He may've been a lefty firebrand when he entered parlt 30yrs ago, but those embers have had a long time to cool. #auspol

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
Freedom of Information is vital for democracy and good government. And yes, it needs to be improved. But the Albanese Gov wants to make it harder for Australians to seek the truth. We need stronger, not weaker FOI laws. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Energy Secretary Chris Wright "quietly arranged for five hand-picked skeptics of the effects of climate change" to compile the government's climate report and violated the law by creating the report in secret with authors "of only one point of view." www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...

Labor's FOI reforms are a betrayal of democracy. FOI is broken and rather than fixing it, Labor is seeking to make it more expensive and even more impenetrable. Government information belongs to the people they are supposedly working for but they keep hiding more and more.
2024 interview by Tova was quite prescient. Back then Luxon was still pretending he was "about" to fix the economy. Method: selling our land & homes off to foreigners while boasting about non-existent Amazon jobs & causing the worst unemployment & biz failures in 10 years #nzpol

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
Really wish the media would speak with the same clarity as judges - absent a rebellion on U.S. soil, the President cannot deploy the National Guard to act as a police force under his control. I know the rule of law is not click bait, but it undergirds the functioning of society.
It seems the president and his staff failed to stick to the same story.
See through it.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Grifters & greed merchants!
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

I'm afraid you'd have to research that as I'm no expert. Norway's waters are in the arctic so cold waters, which may mean it could work in the US in the north with the right type of seaweed. But it may also work for any type of seaweed.
Yes, but it's carbon neutral - what CO2 it absorbs in it's life is equal to what is released, so you're not adding any new carbon into the system like with #FossilFuels.
Australia Institute analysis submitted to the fed govt’s Gas Market Review shows the ACTU proposal for a 25% tax on gas exports would end the gas shortages being engineered by the gas industry, cut gas prices, & deliver $12.5 billion revenue windfall for Australian industry & households. #auspol

The late Iain Banks remarks have never been more relevant. Asylum seekers actually get a pittance from the state and they haven't caused any political problems. Immigration is a good and positive thing and it has helped build Scotland into the modern tolerant and free country it is today.

Green MP Carla Denyer has accused Kemi Badenoch of being 'out of touch with reality' re. her oil & gas speech: Expanding fossil fuels during a climate emergency is "blatantly reckless" and a "dead end". "Reserves are running dry - no amount of political posturing will reverse that geological fact."
