Infinitely preferable that Labor agreed a deal with the Greens who at least care about environmental issues, unlike the Coalition.

The new ABC 702 lineup is disgraceful. Wall to wall male from breakfast through drive. This is not 1972 - it’s sexist, retrograde & demeaning for the ABC. Is management so blinded/blinkered they don’t see this as a huge problem? Appalling decision @abcsydney Bring back Sarah Mac
All-male lineup take top slots at ABC Sydney after Chris Bath’s shock departure https://t.co/nx39uKaGI2

.@ShackelWill not a hope in hell #nuclear could contribute to australia's emissions reductions before 2035. …practically 🍩 chance it could help before 2045. if the nuclear sector could drastically slash its costs & deliver on time, maybe it could help… but not for decades.
Never believe a politician who says they're serious about the climate but Australia doesn't need nuclear. The government has had to admit today that current projections suggest they'll only reach 48% emission reduction by 2035 compared to their recently announced target of

@3AW693 If Jess Wilson is so worried about debt, why are two of her signature tax policies literally tax cuts for Airbnb landlords and elite private schools charging $15k+ a year? How do you claim debt is a priority while making it worse to keep the wealthiest onside?

Labor’s environment laws to pass today with the support of the Greens. Good. The Coalition, predictably, were a shambles during negotiations. Also good. Today is a great day for the environment and for business #auspol

Ditching net zero abandons Aussie farmers like me

When politicians say they’re against net zero, they’re willing to let their constituents suffer record-breaking floods, droughts and heat.

Malcolm Turnbull in Parliament House, official portrait unveiling. With Sussan Ley in audience, says: "7 years since I stopped being PM, there's still reality denial, physics denial is still alive" "Energy policy should be made by engineering & economics, not ideology & idiocy"

Not enough, not fast enough but it is a move in the right direction.

While greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.2% or 9.9m tonnes last financial year, new policies are needed to meet the 2035 target

Prof Graeme Samuel says he’s “absolutely elated” at today’s deal with The Greens & unleashes on the Coalition saying what they’ve done is “manoeuvre themselves into irrelevance”💥 Says he’s relieved bcoz the LNP amendments would’ve done “a lot of damage”🔥#Abc

Liberals now in their 4th term of Climate Denial. #NetZeroAmbition
Jim Chalmers says business leaders support the transition to renewables and away from an ageing energy grid. The LNP yell & interject but did nothing in government for 9yrs. The Speaker knew no-one wants to hear about their feelings. #qt

Excellent article by #jacktoohey in @smh on our obsession with real estate & its many negative consequences; “Aust finds itself in a paradox. Passive property ownership appears more financially rewarding than productive work…distorted reward system” Tax reform now!

New economic analysis shows that extending the life of Australia’s ageing coal fired power stations could blow a $17B hole in the budget. The Coalition’s energy plan is a recipe for higher debt and higher power prices.

Transition envy. #NerZeroAmbition
Australians deserve better than a part time energy minister. Households and businesses need a minister focused on making energy more affordable, instead they have one who only cares about building his global profile.

Billie Fitzsimmons is my new fav interviewer Get her on #ABC730 pronto. She's smart as a whip.
No wonder the Liberal Gen Z vote is a smouldering ruin. The Liberal strategy, if you can call it that, only works if voters don't think too hard, or at all. Angus versus basic scrutiny is like a wet tissue versus a pressure washer. https://t.co/ASzpVGRxHk

The disintegration of the Liberal party.
It's the last sitting week for 2025. The question is, what has Albo achieved since becoming PM?🪲🐛

The main point of this is that Angus Taylor thought he’d have an easy interview with Billi FitzSimons because it was youth media and was completely bamboozled by someone who knew their stuff.
So just to be clear - the Libs and Nats say they want higher wages & lower taxes, but they’ve repeatedly opposed both and then complain when Labor actually delivers them. Confused? Don’t worry, so is Angus. @TheDailyAus

Pauline Hanson loves drumming up fear about the “security concerns” burqas pose, but I don’t remember the last time someone in a burqa robbed a bank. I do remember her repeatedly ignoring ASIO’s warnings about the rise of right-wing extremism though.

angus is a deeply unimpressive politician… shocking media performer, managing to be both condescending and evasive… and he is overshadowed by significant number of scandals.
