It's 4,000 BC.

You are immortal.

The Egyptian pyramids have not yet been built.

You decide to save $10,000 EVERY DAY, never spending a cent.

6025 years later, it's 2025.

You still don't have as much money as Gina Rinehart.

TAX. THE. FUCKING. BILLIONAIRES.

So tell me Albo, do we really support what Trump is doing, the values he's exhibiting?
Do we really support Israel & its values?
Are these what you think Australians support?
If not then what the hell are you doing, especially seeing as you are supposed 2 be our leader

Newcastle Port now closed to coal ships! Wish we had drone footage of 5 Nannas in a tinny breaching 100m exclusion zone in an ‘exciting back &forth with police boats’. (Observers report). No arrests. Harbour authorities closed the port to coal ships. @risingtideaus.bsky.social

Barnaby Joyce’s greatest hits? A string of scandals and misadventure, poor policy and bad judgment.

He was once seen as a Coalition star, but his career in parliament has involved a series of misadventures and bad policies. #auspol

#Liberal Party — please note:
No one actually cares what you think. Just because you’re in opposition, it does not mean you have to oppose everything the government does 🙄.
Wish the media would stop giving these fringe dwellers so much attention #auspol
The Liberal Party feeling left out & humiliated has held an urgent Press Conference attacking Labor for striking a deal with The Greens on Environmental Laws. They say this is a “dark day for the mining industry.”
Great! 👍 #auspol

Australians voted for climate action!

Australia Institute research shows that Australia is currently expanding fossil fuels.

We need stronger environmental laws that stop new coal and gas projects.

Iran is likely to be forced to relocate the country’s capital, as Tehran suffers critical water shortages & irreversible subsidence from over-extraction of artesian water.
This is the real social & economic impact of climate change.
