This man’s values are based in power, greed and division. They are so far removed from the values of the Australian people.
We need a government that has the courage to stand up to him, reject his racism, reject US bases and forge an independent peaceful path for Australia.

Let’s focus on the science and policy logic that debunks offsetting and avoid getting bogged down in empirical arguments that effectively concede that better offsets might be out there somewhere. Past time to slam the 🚪 shut and 🔐 it. Leave it ajar and there will always be a charlatan’s 🦶 incoming.

When student loan repayments bring in over three times more revenue than the petroleum resources rent tax (PRRT), it’s clear the system is broken.
I welcome the govt’s 20% HECS cut, but there’s much more to do. Degrees are still too expensive, and this cut doesn’t help students starting this year.

Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out
As we accelerate into an all-electric, all-digital age, the ultimate representation of productive capacity becomes the kilowatt-hour (kWh).
