No wonder Minister Murray Watt is 'huffing and puffing' to try to speed up passage of his propose environmental laws through the Senate - the longer and harder we look at the Bills, the more pitfalls and holes we see. 👇Take 'net gain' for example. 👇#auspol

Gas use for electricity generation in Australia is plummeting.
Down 50% over the past decade (!!!) in the NEM on the east coast.
Gas has a small role that's getting smaller and will be absolutely crushed by big batteries in the electricity.
Not a transition fuel, no matter what BS the PM pushes.

Albanese Government set to use social media ban as cover to water down gambling reforms yet again
If Albanese is serious about ‘progressive patriotism’ he could start by prioritising the livelihoods of Australians over the profits of gambling companies.

I’ve thought about this a lot and it is not my place to say but I’ve always found these words to be neutered by the “phobic” - hate is not a phobia. Phobia implies something that is out of a person’s control. Hate is evil and insidious and shouldn’t be watered down by mental health implications.
good call @erinbiba.bsky.social and can we replace “transphobic” and “homophobic” with anti-Trans and anti-Gay?
Given the way that the term antisemitism has been corrupted and denatured by the right (and the left frankly) to meet their own ends I’m considering replacing the term in my own vernacular with anti-Jewish.
