All those thinking the private sector would find a way to solve climate change, when of course all it was ever going to do was find ways to produce even more emissions and f*ck the environment royally.

Dear ABC radio, please have somebody with more expertise than me explain to you why “renewables are the cheapest form of power” and “power prices have gone up in the last years in spite of increased renewables” are not contradictory statements. And why slowing renewables will not bring prices down.

Powerful piece. “The men now working to rehabilitate Heydon – many..the same ones who once drank in his chambers – never saw his predation. They weren’t his targets. His charm & wit never came with a proposition. That behaviour was reserved for young women like me.” www.theage.com.au/national/i-w...
I was among this disgraced judge’s victims. Attempts to honour him are an insult
The former High Court judge Dyson Heydon is being rehabilitated in some parts of the legal profession. It’s galling.

‘Mind-boggling stupidity’: The consultancy that captured universities
Nous Group has slowly taken over the university sector, filling VCs’ offices with ex-staff and buying ‘incredibly sensitive’ data that is sold back for benchmarking.
