Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull fucked the NBN at Murdoch's behest.

The Government’s invitation for President Herzog to visit must be rescinded - it will cause immense distress to many who have lost relatives in Gaza. This is a time to build social cohesion not blow it out of the water ! 💦

Hanson was a Liberal in the Howard mould. He said nothing about Hanson and only started putting her last as a tactical measure (not a pushback on policies) after the 1998 Qld election scare. He embraced her polices - which were variations of his One Australia platform

Just your regular reminder that John Howard never pushed back against Pauline Hanson and One Nation policies. He embraced them, which is how he outflanked them, while also setting the stage for what the Liberals are today. The myth that he 'pushed back' truly needs to die.

It's politically true that calling One Nation supporters racists won't persuade them away, but it's also literally true that you can't support One Nation without being a racist.

Four shark attacks, one long weekend, national meltdown. Sydney’s scare became a “crisis” fast, but the conditions, warm water, storms, bait fish, were textbook. Risk got flattened into fear, context vanished, and the culture war rolled in. Sharks did what sharks do. The media did what it does best.

Renewables supplied ⬆️ half our electricity over a full quarter.

Rooftop solar played a major role, meeting much of the growth in demand while cutting costs & emissions.

To build on this, we need to ensure households benefit & make it easier for renters & people in apartments to take part.
