Two very important questions to answer for Aussie environment laws:
Sometimes, when you’re trying to figure out the efficacy of complex policy and legislative changes, it helps to ask simple concrete questions. So here are two: 1) Will the salmon farms be coming out of Macquarie Harbour? & 2) Will Madeleine King stop selling exploration licences? Hope that helps.

I'm really enjoying the Festival of Pococks Making Sense.
How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

After Gaza, the next target is Iran
US–Israel manoeuvring over Gaza is already widening the conflict. As Sudan burns and propaganda intensifies, Iran may be the next target — with Australia again at risk of being drawn in.
