Left wing? Right wing? Maybe the actual bird should just walk.
Renewable energy gets so many subsidies... www.atse.org.au/news/new-ats...
"Norway created a sovereign wealth fund to ensure that money made from the country’s non-renewable resources would benefit citizens. The fund is worth $US1.9 trillion." "Last year, the Aus govt collected more from HECS repayments than from the petroleum resource rent tax." 🔗 theaus.in/HECSvPRRT
It looks like NATO, minus USA for now, is starting to surround Russia.
Rubio is obviously trying to hold down the biggest post of his political career 😎
Calling all refugees from the USA.
Clean air means burning less fossil fuels.
Refugees from the USA are now arriving in Europe. www.politico.eu/article/meet...
Will someone please fire Elon Musk! Then maybe Tesla can start to get back on track.
Electric Vehicles and renewable energy are eating into the demand for oil. Soon supply will outstrip demand all together. Inflation will no longer be tied to the price of oil, and that is a good thing.
Happy Winter solstice Australia.
While Russia's ally Iran is fully occupied could it be time for some brave EU leaders to step up and help Ukraine strike Russia where it hurts?
Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
"Australia is the 3rd biggest fossil fuel exporter in the world. "Norway, which is also a big fossil fuel exporter, they tax their fossil fuel industry and give their kids free university education. "In Aus, we subsidise the fossil fuel industry." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol
IMO Putin has a plan to invade the Baltic republics. Rewind back to the USSR in 1939. He has a head start. He needs to move fast while Donald is equivocating and before Western Europe rearms.

Wow, who would have guessed it? Trump is a genius.
The crazy paradox is Florida stands to be the hardest hit by sea level rise !?!?
As an EV driver in Australia I am more than happy to pay a levy for the roads... if fossil fuel drivers are willing to pay a levy for the pollution they generate !!! thedriven.io/2025/04/28/e...
Defund Elon Musk from government then sack him from Tesla.
Could it be that Donald Trump is tacitly making a transaction with Putin? Something like, "we'll not stand in your way on annexing Crimea and Donbas if you don't stand in our way on Greenland." Could that be his version of a peaceful outcome?
IMO the murders will stop only when the murderer Putin is annihilated, either politically or physically.
IMO the murders will not stop until the murderer (Putin) is annihilated, either physically or politically.
Everyone needs a conspiracy theory, and that's mine 😎 If vaccines can supposedly cause autism then... why not Petrochemical Pollution?
Could Autism be related to petrochemical pollution?
Defund Elon Musk. Send him back to his day job.
This right here is what sets Mark Carney so far apart from Pierre, the guy who chomped on an apple during an interview to show contempt. Pierre would not understand this story. #VopeLiberal #Cdnpoli #nspoli
...and Trump is aided and abetted by the (social) media moguls. Democracy is only as good as the people who vote! If we are being continually dumbed down by vested interests then we are going to make stupid choices.
I guess that means... cut out all the BS and stick to the facts.
Maybe Autism has a connection to Petrochemical pollution. That is, Fossil Fuels.
A major cause of rising house prices has been increased demand from investors. Our research shows restricting negative gearing to newly built housing and scrapping the capital gains tax discount would reduce speculation and allow more first home buyers to get into their own home.

Maybe this will spur China to invade Taiwan. Should Australia come to the aid of USA if Trump is adopting an America First policy? apnews.com/article/chin...
Was that a statement of fact or what? www.youtube.com/shorts/jcNzo...

Maybe he just can't hack the CEO anymore.
OK, the protests have started. Next will come the brutal crackdowns. That is how authoritarianism works.
Looks like the BYD CEO is just turning up for work and doing his job well. thedriven.io/2025/04/02/b...
Wow, this guy should be president.
I'm a Tesla owner. The CEO of Tesla is presently steering the USA towards Authoritarianism, apparently with the help of the DOJ. A common criminal act is not terrorism, the response is.
Defund Elon Musk.
Defund Elon Musk.
No, that can't be true! Donald Trump stated that ALL wars would end within 24 hours of his inauguration. It was a statement of fact.
Wow. apnews.com/article/clim...
Maybe it's time for Australia to impose a 25% tariff on USA made cars, and actually start to rebuild an Aussie Made auto industry. apnews.com/article/auto...
"Prenatal exposure to air pollution..." 🤔 I wonder what kind of air pollution might contribute to autism?
Maybe Autism is caused by petrochemical pollution ?
But... but... Hillary should be in jail!
Is it time to kick General Motors (GMC) out of Oz? America first, and last. Let's see an Australian branded car. www.carsales.com.au/editorial/de...
Donald Trump, in order to win the US election, stated as a fact that he will stop all wars within 24 hours. Will that be erased from the internet also?

Batshit crazy talk. IMO Putin and Trump are peas in a pod.
...and the executives that run them should be made personally liable for climate reparations.
💯🎯
Is Trump asking Israel for in-kind payment in return for all the arms that have been sent there?
Under Trump it should be DIE. Distrust Inequality Exclusion
Finally! The Aus Electric Vehicle Council is doing something truly useful. thedriven.io/2025/03/07/e...
Is Donald Trump a Russian asset?
FYI, Honda is not building a new factory in Indiana. A total of 210k units/year of Civic production was going to be shifted to Mexico, but will now go forward at Honda's existing Indiana plant. Honda says it will import from elsewhere if demand exceeds that amount. www.reuters.com/business/aut...
Look. Apart from being a Lying, Cheating, Murdering Tyrant Putin is a pretty reasonable guy.
Trudeau giving Americans a much more accurate State of the Union.
"Sucking up to Trump...is the worst possible thing to do." "The only way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them." These five minutes from Malcolm Turnbull are a must-watch. Recorded in June last year as part of our Joe Stiglitz tour. #auspol
I'll be there. Details to come...
Methinks the schoolyard bully just got a black eye 😎
ACCC finds the QLD LNG gas export cartel’s massive heist of Australia’s domestic gas is set to increase to 1/3 of eastern Australia’s gas consumption!!!! Oh, and btw, none of them have paid company tax. Ever. Wake up Australia, we’re being robbed. www.afr.com/companies/en...
Did the leader of the Free World just gave two schoolyard bullies a black eye?
The leader of the Free World just left the White House. Did he just give the two schoolyard bullies a black eye?
You can’t waste your vote in Australia, thanks to the genius of preferential voting. It’s what helps set our voting system apart from the US and the UK. @richarddenniss.bsky.social explains how it works. 👇
21 states that are not New York are suing my state, which is New York, for its Climate Superfund Act, which requires Big Oil to pay for climate damages instead of taxpayers. Albany Times Union: It’s sorta like if Kentucky sued other states for tobacco laws eedition.timesunion.com/infinity/art...
When and how do the people get to rise up against tyrants like Putin and Trump who have now rigged the game? IMO This is not a war between nations, it's a war within nations for the future of life on Earth as we know it.
Let’s go www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...
Unfortunately I already boycotted Amazon and fast food for years already. There is no Walmart in Oz but I do support this idea in principle. Make it global.
It sounds like the new Eau de Cologne... Toxic Musk
If China wanted to invade Australia all it would have to do is blockade the major seaports and drop two missiles, one on each of the two oil refineries. Within 2 months Aussies would be fighting in the streets as transport fails and food runs out. Maybe they are doing a dry run near Tassie now... 🤔
There, I fixed it. You’re welcome AEP.
Why are royalties from Woodside’s North-West Shelf gas export project plummeting? Its because Woodside are getting more of their gas royalty free! Last year they only made up 1.3% of WA budget revenue, and by 2027-28 that’s expected to drop to just 0.6%. #auspol #climate
Tesla could use a new CEO while Elon is in the mood for firing people.
In Oz we need to have more independent fast charge providers and ditch the oil companies that are eyeing $$$ and flogging petrol while they hold back on the EV revolution. No hint of climate action. 239% YoY EV charging increase and still they whinge. Shame on you Ampol! thedriven.io/2025/02/25/p...
China’s Solar Panels Are Lighting Up the World 🌞🌞🌞 by @davidfickling.bsky.social: "The implications are immense Countries that have been trapped in energy poverty for generations due to the cost of imported fossil fuels may have a chance to grow faster thanks to cheaper renewables" #alwaysbecharging
Is civil war in the USA a possibility?
www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...
This is the new civil war. Just as America eventually abolished slavery, which was cheap human energy, the world now has to abolish fossil fuels. Those that benefit from poisoning the Earth attempt to suppress the transition to a low carbon world. ...Until the movement for it becomes unstoppable.
Its a good thing Elon has run to the US government for cover. It was always going to get uncomfortable, the over promised hype is coming home to roost. Think Tesla Roadster... What happened to Dojo? Full Self Driving? now the Chinese are giving it away with base models. Robotaxi? already in Wuhan
IMO Donald Trump's program to destroy all things DEI should be labelled DIE. - Distrust - Inequality - Exclusion

Time for US military to decide: democracy or the other, unknown thing. www.airandspaceforces.com/brown-genera...
I'm from English root stock. I was at the community swimming pool today with my grandson. There were families all having fun from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Islanders and local Indigenous. It truly made me proud to be an Aussie. We are all Aussies now, and in this together!
Surely there are some in the US military taking a long hard look at how bonkers Donald Trump is behaving. Is the USA suddenly an ally of Russia and an adversary of Europe?
It had to happen sooner or later.
Surely the US military is looking at how bonkers Donald Trump is. Surely they will still be talking with their European counterparts. Surely there are still some in there who will not allow Trump to ally the USA and Russia.
The monarchs of two petrostates (USA,Russia) meet in an authoritarian petrostate (Saudi) to decide how to progress the war on Western Europe, which is increasingly turning away from fossil fuels. Am I missing something here?
Yeah, Putin has a point. Zelensky definitely has not killed enough of his political opponents yet to be legit.
Elon just wants all government workers to be as efficient as humanly possible... until they can be replaced by robots and AI.
I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.
