As of now there is nothing Albanese's govt has done that has changed the country in any structural way.

No change at all to how the fundamental debates of the nation are addressed.

Dear Media,

When you say Palestinians are returning home in their 1000's, what homes do you mean?

this is sociopathic behaviour and I think we need to treat it as such! just because something has become easy to do doesn't mean it has become less creepy, or more acceptable!

One of the main impediments to accessibility for disabled people is the majority think of accessibility as a bonus disabled people are being given.

Yeah. Nah. Whenever this happened outside America, the authoritarian regime was “American backed” or “CIA supported”.
America has been the biggest state sponsor of right wing authoritarians for the past 80 years.

This didn’t start with Trump.
Your freedoms were stolen by Bush, Blair and Howard under the guise of “the terrorisms”.
In Australia, the stripping of civil liberties happened with bipartisan support - Simon Crean being a notable exception.
Weazley Beazley was a disgrace.

Sadly, Origins fixed tariff + fixed 5c FiT looks like a better financial option than Amber’s wholesale offering.
At this rate, Amber will be out of business in six months. Sadly.

That’s a nice thought, but the English are all in on the German families who constitute the monarchy, and the monarchy will continue despite the fact the English known their tax/rent/mortgages are used to pay victims who were raped by members of the firm.
The English are the dumbest of all people.

Damn. I do.
I’m with Amber and they only offered on|off curtailment. So when FiT went negative, I had to buy power in.
I’ve switched that off in the Amber app and programmed my inverters to only produce what I use. I won’t have to draw/feed any power from/to the grid until March/April.

Re: Epstein
We know Trump is a paedophile
We know the cabinet are paedophiles
We know the billionaires are paedophiles
We know the oligarchs are paedophiles
We believe the survivors.

But focussing on this won’t end fascism.

They will only answer for their crimes when fascism is defeated.

It’s amazing to think that when Chuck met Donald, Chuck became the good guy.

We didn’t have any significant irrigation before 1950. As the climate tries to eradicate the plague that is humans, there will still be significant arable land in Australia. It just won’t be where it is now.

Australian energy policy:

Gummint pays people to install solar/batteries.

Power companies pay zero or charge users to feed excess generation into the grid.

Gummint is actually subsiding private profit.

Turn the feed-in off.
You can do it.
You have the power.
Literally.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.
