One of the insane facts I discovered writing this article is that WA collects more revenue from motorists in registration than it collects from fossil fuel companies in gas royalties
Murray Watt is a perfect model of the modern Labor politician. President of Young Labor. Chief of staff for a Premier. Boss of the Qld Left. Now he’s the Environment Minister with responsibility for a critical decision. He chose to destroy the environment. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/29/m...
Watt waves through Woodside, and Labor’s light on the hill becomes a gas flare
The newly minted environment minister faced a stark choice: protect the environment, or approve a massive fossil fuel development that will destroy the environment. He chose destruction.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias. The shorthand is that people overestimate their skills/knowledge in a given domain, because they lack the knowledge to assess their own competence.

If more journalists actually did their jobs, any time Dutton called something woke they’d ask him ‘What do you mean, do you know what woke _actually_ means?’. But instead most just let it through, because they’re lazy and a big part of the problem.

This is pretty fucked up.
As @amyremeikis.bsky.social reports - the changes to the environmental laws the govt is about to introduce are F*CKING AWFUL.
They are not just about salmon - but will apply EVERYWHERE
Politically, it very much seems Albanese has over-ruled Plibersek.

The deliberate disconnect from experts to the actual long term effects of the virus is a dishonest way of claiming mildness based on fatality rates cooked from the outset.
The increase of other causes that should be linked directly or indirectly to previous sars2 infections, keeps being "baffling".

I believe Australians are watching what is happening in the US with horror, and thinking how we don’t want the same thing here. Dutton is the same as Trump - cruel, vindictive, lying, divisive, only interested in power to enrich himself and his billionaire funders. I really hope Australians get it.
