"There is excited talk about “abundance” – which is code for sweeping forests, wetlands, woodlands and local communities out of the path of business, mining and development"

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
There is no abundance without reciprocity and we will learn this, to our sorrow, in the years to come if we continue treating the natural world as a magic pudding that can be cut and cut and cut and will come again. Coal and gas mining will not be fast-tracked and for that I am very glad. But the government ruled out embedding any formal consideration of the impacts of greenhouse gas pollution, the effect of climate change on Australia’s natural heritage, into decision-making. Only a few months ago, Australia’s first national climate risk assessment itemised a devastating prognosis for Australia’s marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems across the continent if global warming exceeds the limits set down in the Paris climate agreement. It spoke of ecosystems collapsing and whole species dying out. The only way to prevent that warming is to stop the pollution that comes from burning coal, gas and oil for energy, and quickly. Indeed, an International Court of Justice advisory opinion has affirmed that all countries have a legal obligation to prevent climate harm and protect the climate system. For Australia, that means preventing the pollution from our energy exports. ‘Cascading, compounding’: five key takeaways from Australia’s national climate risk assessment Read more The greenhouse gas emissions from Australia’s energy exports, and the impact that this pollution is having on Australians, is not going to go away because the minister refuses to think about it, or because the prime minister is too squeamish to talk about it. The consequences will plague our descendents for generations to come, long after this generation of politicians are gone, but there will be more immediate demands from communities suffering the effects of climate change that will become increasingly impossible to ignore.

Just look at this horseshit focus group blather.

O'Brien has no clue about real people so he has to make one up to empathize with.

Elon talking to Grok level shite
I'm actually here today to talk about Jess. Jess is 38 years of age. She's married to Mat, and together, they're raising their two little children. One in primary school and one in kindy. And they're doing it pretty tough right now. They rent a little 2-bedroom town house in the outer suburbs. Their girls are sharing a bedroom. And their lounge room is really more of a play room with the toys piled up all over the place. They dream of one day buying a place of their own. But every time Jess checks the online mortgage calculator, the numbers just do not add up. This is not how Jess thought life would be, and she's angry, because if the Australian dream of homeownership is out of reach for her, well, her children will have Buckley's chance of even having the dream in the first place. In recent years, their rent has gone up by 20%. Electricity bills - 40%. And their weekly grocery shop is now nearly $300. Jess is working her tail off and looking after the kids at the same time. But it feels futile. Mat does long hours as a bricky and does odd jobs on the side to treat the kids here and there. And if worry about the kids weren't enough - Jess's dad has Alzheimer's. And her mum is struggling right now to care for him at home. This is the Australian story of 2025.
