How weird…one minute we are supposed to have a gas shortage (hint: we didn’t) and now we are going to let AI data centres build new gas fired electricity generators to ensure they have enough electricity…

Its as if everything the government says about gas is BS #climate

Environmentally disasterous, impacting water and climate change.
"In New South Wales and Victoria, where most are located, datacentres could comprise 11% and 8% of each state’s electricity demand"

"Technology companies including OpenAI and SunCable are pushing for Australia to become a hub for data processing and storage"

Datacentres demand huge amounts of electricity. Could they derail Australia’s net zero ambitions?
Banks of servers operating 24/7 generate massive amounts of heat, requiring power to run and cool them

As ever, straight talker #TimWilliams dismantling many myths around housing supply that so distort our politics & society.
As practiced in Europe, Govts must step up & build public housing themselves - stop pretending anything else will work

The UK and Aus ‘inspire’ each other on housing failure. Both need to remember public housing works

No job allows poor performance without accountability, outside a dictatorship. This is what’s happening on government boards: unchecked poor performance and potentially problematic behaviour. Ordinary ppl answer to a boss; privileged ppl answer to no one. www.apsc.gov.au/sites/defaul...

"Recognizing that Carney’s political vision is fundamentally about using the government’s resources to clear the path for private sector growth is key to understanding what his leadership of Canada practically means"

@woodsideful.bsky.social for @nationalobserver.com --->>>>
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?

Bracing #abc program on housing & homelessness, focusing especially on the vulnerable group of women over 50. Too many sleeping in cars, in vans, abandoned buildings…
Such a need for crisis housing, for long term structural solutions.
In such a rich country as Aust, no one should be homeless
