This is great. Can't wait to read the full thing:

Labor’s scars and its determination to become the natural party of government are having a peculiar impact.

Under Labor’s environmental reforms, project proponents don’t have to disclose scope 3 emissions, only scope 1 and 2 (see post 2/2 for definition). Why? Official’s avoided answering Senator David Pocock’s question on that🤷‍♂️. Looks like a job for #FOI. 1/2 #climate #auspol

Here is a timely reminder from @thejuicemedia.com on how pathetically ineffective carbon capture and storage is. The same carbon capture and storage that the Libs wanna pump more money into, in their fantasy scenario, but they should form a government ever again

With Lisa Cox's years of detailed investigations & reporting, there's ZERO excuse to NOT KNOW the many & varied failures of NSW's biodiversity offset scheme

Choosing to repeat these mistakes is contempt of public interest biodiversity policy

#EPBC #BiodiversityOffsets #PayToDestroy
lisacox.bsky.social Lisa Cox @lisacox.bsky.social · 13h
The Albanese government’s nature reforms would change biodiversity offsets policy, including by setting up a “restoration contributions” fund. Guardian Australia reporting exposed major failures with a similar scheme in NSW. Experts are warning the federal plan could repeat those mistakes
Biodiversity offsets failed to protect habitat in NSW. Now federal Labor is about to make the same mistakes, critics warn
Offsets were meant to be a last resort for mitigating environmental damage from development projects, but rapidly became the default

No expense will be spared to launder @australianlabor.bsky.social's terrible record on climate & the fact they refuse to include a climate trigger as part of environmental law reforms. So much for transparent government, @albomp.bsky.social & @senatorwong.bsky.social!

I have to admit I’m pretty scared to ride my bike these days due to too many close calls with cars on roundabouts . Why people think it’s ok to pass a bike on a roundabouts confuses me. Maybe I need whirling spike clubs on my 🚴?

The Liberal Party has lost the Australian business sector with its “sheer fatuousness and contradictions” by abandoning net zero 2050. AFR editorial 15-16/11/25. The so called party of rational market economics relegates itself to the political fringe. 👇✅

The Liberals were so eager to appease the Nationals they went too far and abandoned every climate policy they had.

Now the Nats want them to at least pretend to have something.

Might be easier for the Libs if the Nats wrote their talking points down for them.
Not green enough: Nats urge Libs to go harder on emissions
The Nationals will cut a deal with the Liberals on climate policy but say their Coalition partner needs to be more serious about reducing emissions.

The Albanese govt's failure to overturn the Morrison government's $50,000 arts degrees can only mean one of two things:

- they're happy with LNP higher ed policy, or
- they are far more interested in just holding power than doing anything useful with it. #auspol

I'm making Pici pasta for dinner. It got a tomato sauce with a pseudo pesto, as it's not made with a mortar & pestle. Pici pasta is made with water and flour, not egg. This was a dish from our cooking school in Siena.
A kitchen countertop with a beige tea towel laid flat and covered in long, thin piped lines of dough or batter arranged in parallel rows. A black fruit bowl filled with bananas and oranges sits on the counter in the background. A piece of paper with printed text is partially visible at the lower left corner of the image. A large pot on a stovetop filled with a chunky tomato sauce made from whole or halved tomatoes, herbs, garlic, and seasonings. The sauce is simmering and has a rich red color, with visible pieces of tomato and herbs. The stovetop and control knobs are visible around the pot. A printed recipe page titled “Pici,” placed on a kitchen counter beside long rolled strands of dough. The text lists ingredients and instructions for making pici pasta and a tomato–basil pesto sauce. At the bottom of the page is a simple line drawing of a town skyline with the words “La Scuola di Cucina di Lella since 1996.”

Though what BHP thought it was doing tolerating a large and rather dodgy upstream tailings dam on one of its properties, even by JV, who knows. Those things have a dreadful safety record globally.

I don't dispute BHP's liability here, but it ought to be recognised that the *operating* partner in the Samarco-Mariana JV was Brazilian global miner Vale, not BHP. BHP is the target because it is easier to sue, not because it is the more culpable.
