We don’t have a gas shortage, we have a gas export problem. Santos are gaming the system and pushing up the price of gas paid by 🇦🇺 households & industry.

We don’t need new projects, we need to reserve uncontracted export gas for 🇦🇺 now!

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Trump is shuffling through the devastated landscape in Gaza, a little fist raised in triumph, his long tie dragging behind him leaving a blood trail. Scattered among the landscape are multiple remains of munitions and bit of shrapnel, most are labelled with the American flag, Trump is saying, “So lucky I was here to stop this destruction”.

About 160 countries around the world have official poverty measures today, either a monetary measure or a multi-dimensional measure," he says.

"Best practice is to have both —Australia has neither."
Poverty is about more than income, but that is all we measure
We get detailed measurements of population, participation and productivity. Advocates want to add a fourth "p" — poverty — so we can understand our economy.

A new study published in Nature Climate Action finds Woodside’s Scarborough gas project could cause 100s of heat-related deaths & exposed 500k people to unprecedented heat.

Govt can’t claim climate leadership while approving projects like this.

Forrest-backed study links Woodside mega-project to hundreds of deaths
The research, conducted by academics at ANU, suggests the massive offshore gas project off the coast of Western Australia will cause warming of 0.00039 degrees.

Given the consortium already had signed long-term supply contracts with Asian buyers, it was left severely short and in a bind.
The solution? Siphon gas from the domestic market.

I'm old enough to remember when pretty much all of the mainstream media regularly praised Abbott for being the politician with the deepest connection to Indig Australians because he visited a community every year, patted some kids on the head and hammered a few nails.

This is very sad, but also not surprising. The science has warned for a long time, including in IPCC reports, that even modest levels of global warming will devastate virtually all coral reefs.

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’
Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns
