No animal pays to live in its natural habitat. Only humans do, and only because we built a system that sells us back what was already ours. Capitalism didn’t invent survival. It just put a fucking meter on it.
@stingerdelux @LakeShowBoy24 In nature survival is a full time job. That is not something capitalists created.

The only thing more efficient than a 5% public service cut is a well-placed lobbyist. They do more damage for a lot less paperwork.

If you didn’t want global opinions, you probably shouldn’t have made yourselves a global empire.
If you aren’t from this country: We don’t care what you think about American politics. We don’t care what you think about American culture. We don’t care what you think about American elections. Your grift is over. Focus on your own problems.

Comparing raw military numbers without context, geography or capability is like judging a car by how many bolts it has. Looks dramatic. Means bugger all.
When you look at budget vs what we have..... I believe someone is taking Australia for a ride..... $$$$$$$$

Telling coal workers the future doesn’t exist isn’t protecting them, it’s setting them up to get blindsided. Comfort today, unemployment tomorrow. Great leadership, Senator.
The Labor Government just signed an agreement to "transition away from fossil fuels" - that is to end Australia's second (coal) and third (gas) largest exports. Net zero is a plan that will make Australians poorer. Worse, they signed this agreement with just 24 countries (see

Gravity makes up 0% of the atmosphere too. Still ruins your day if you ignore it.
This tiny white square is man-made CO2: 0.0016% of the atmosphere. They’re taxing you, robbing your income, and enslaving your life over something essential for plants and a greener planet. Climate alarmism isn’t science, but a global scam. Wake the fvck up already!

Every single extra dollar for CSIRO is welcome but this bandaid won't save the jobs currently on the chopping block or put our national science and research capability on a sustainable footing for the future. https://t.co/O5ofPj0w5g We need govt to invest more on saving

CSIRO shedding 350 scientists before Christmas is peak Australia: Cut the brain, keep the bureaucracy, and pray that climate, bugs, tech, crops and reality all take the holidays off.

Every time someone says ‘if you don’t like it, leave,’ what they really mean is ‘stop pointing out the problems I don’t want to fix.’
If you hate our country, why are you even here?

Saw this old tweet of mine and it made me wonder if the same logic applies to charities. If tipping implies the employer isn’t doing their job, then charities kind of imply the government isn’t doing its job. We’ve normalised private generosity filling the gaps where public
@RossKneeDeep @NagelNilson I think I speak for most of the planet when I say: we just don’t get American tipping culture. There are countries where offering a tip is seen as rude, because it implies the employer isn’t doing their job.

It’s also worth remembering Japan isn’t acting in a vacuum. Tokyo sits firmly in a different strategic orbit to Beijing, and sometimes what gets said publicly reflects the priorities of that orbit more than Japan’s own instincts. Power blocs talk through their allies, and
For people confused why China is so angry by the comments made by Japan's PM, she is the first sitting PM to openly discuss Japanese military intervention in Taiwan in an official capacity (she made her comments in Parliament), effectively moving away from Japan's strategic

Strange how the rest of the developed world manages to cut emissions and keep energy affordable. Only in Australia are we told it has to be one or the other.

Looks like the Liberals didn’t just step back from net-zero, they yeeted themselves into the past. Hard to lead a modern economy when your climate policy is basically “nah, too hard”. The world is moving forward while they’re stuck arguing about coal in 2025.

Australia isn’t losing jobs to Indonesia because of “net zero” or because Labor secretly hates coal. Indonesia isn’t playing by the same rules because its economy is in a totally different phase of development, with a radically different energy mix, wage structure, and industrial
This morning the PM claimed that if Australia doesn't go to net zero it would hurt our relationships in the Pacific. He said this following a meeting with Indonesian officials. Indonesia has INCREASED its annual coal mining by 223 million tonnes in just 3 years since "net

When you’ve run out of ideas for fixing society, just lock up the kids and call it reform.
Waking up to find out VIC Labor is following the lead of the QLD LNP is infuriating and will have absolutely devastating consequences. On the great Leo Puglisi’s birthday no less

If every issue since 1975 is still Whitlam’s fault, what have the next twelve governments been doing? Asking for half a century of voters.
The Whitlam Govt was the root cause of most modern problems in Australia: ❎ Rapid inflation ❎ The Aboriginal industry ❎ Multiculturalism ❎ Out of control debt ❎ Out of control taxation ❎ Manufacturing decline ❎ China’s influence

They built a statue for the man who tried to make Australia independent. Fitting, since we’ve buried that idea too.
Fifty years ago tomorrow, Gough Whitlam’s Labor Government was dismissed. Gough Whitlam delivered so much for Australians who felt overlooked for too long. Whitlam’s Australia was more modern, more confident and more equal. A new generation with access to university education

They didn’t just trim a clip; they surgically removed integrity. The BBC’s become what it used to report on, state media with a thesaurus.
