Who are 'Advance' and what are they doing to our politics?

Launched in 2018 as a conservative answer to GetUp!, the group Advance likes to style itself as the voice of the average person against “the elite.

In 2010, the Aus and QLD governments allowed a handful of multinational gas giants to begin massive exports of our gas — a decision that's making Australians poorer today.

‘Our gas prices tripled, then tripled again...electricity prices doubled as well.’

If you’re in Canberra tomorrow (Thurs 16th) come along to Dan Duggan’s final hearing to challenge his extradition to the US. Rally @ Federal Court, 14 Childers St, at 9am. Show our govt the people do not agree with our citizen being sent to a country with a corrupted DoJ.

The PRRT is one of Australia's main taxes on the gas industry....and it's completely broken.

Imagine what Australia could fund if the gas industry paid its fair share...free university? #auspol

Our governments are already caving in to pressure from the gas industry to export our domestic gas reserves.

90% of WA's gas is exported or used for export.

We don't have a gas shortage problem. We have a gas export problem.

This, a thousand times over. Asians value education very highly. Silicon Valley is run by Asian immigrants. China will build (if they haven't already) a new Silicon Valley. By removing and scaring off POC, fascists are playing into China's hands.

What a massive bloody flop Albanese turned out to be. Cautious to the point of paranoia. A myopic lens with which to view an obviously collapsing USA. Environmental betrayer of the climate & natural world. And a genocide enabler selling weapon parts empowering the ongoing #GazaHolocaust

Miners to get an early look at Labor’s new green laws

The Albanese government will give mining companies and other stakeholders draft extracts of its environmental protection laws before they go to parliament, as Environment Minister Murray Watt tries to rebuild trust after earlier negotiations on the reforms collapsed in acrimony.

A reminder.

Humanity has never removed an atmospheric pollutant at a global, continental or, even, regional scale — we have only ever shut down the source and let nature do the clearing up. This is the case for chlorofluorocarbons and stratospheric ozone destruction, for sulfur dioxide and acid rain, and for sulfur and nitrogen oxides and photochemical smog. We must be prepared for CDR to be a failure, leaving us to rely on the environment to stabilize atmospheric CO₂ over thousands of years. This is another argument for rapid decarbonization.

The social media age ban may actually mean more people have more data collected about them - it means the risk from hacks and leaks may increase and goes against 'data minimisation' principles according to @drwaus.bsky.social

Doug Cameron is on the ball here.
I'm concerned that @albomp.bsky.social is still hurting from the Voice referendum & is now too shy to 'be brave'.

The superannuation back down was humiliating. There was no need for that, it was good policy.

Keating makes the point that Labor should spend some political capital.
My wish list:
Be brave.
Ditch AUKUS.
Stop worshiping the “market”
Fix CGT and -ve gearing.
Tackle poverty reduction
Housing as a human right.
Establish a modern Housing Commission.
Build public Housing.
