“Once a company spends a billion dollars building an incinerator to generate electricity, and once that company starts paying people for waste to burn, there will be even more incentives to produce waste and even less incentive to reduce it. The Treasury economists know that.”
If I wasn't a religious fanatic about data centres I'd spend 100% of my time working on waste incineration and how it links up with plastics and CCS greenwashing stuff. It is expanding in Aus just like so many other regions

Waste incinerators: the latest bin fire in Australian climate policy
Something has gone terribly wrong with a society and an economy that sees a steady and inexhaustible flow of garbage as a reliable fuel for generating electricity. But here we are.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

Not outgunned intellectually but hard to compete with oligarch money paying for content to flood the zone. And market power is a huge problem. Unless we can get govt to implement effective antitrust policy across mainstream media and SM we’re going down I’m afraid; so we need to fight for that.

Any member of the IDF or associated personnel, politicians and the like should be excluded from entering Australia and declared "terrorists".
Likewise, all decared terrorist organisations from whereever they come.

I have recently been referred to Hospital, twice.
(one a day surgery and another, I expect the same, but I don't know)
No reference other than my name.
I wait until I get a phone call; no idea when, days, months?
Aware of the vagaries of admission, just a ball park idea, that's all I want!

Australia had the ‘gold standard’ on gun control. The Bondi beach terror attack may force it to confront its surging number of weapons
There are now more guns in the community per capita than in the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre, with at least 2,000 new firearms lawfully entering the community every week

"Falklands Law" really begs the question as to "when" is the right time to make a decision?
The procrastinating mob think that means "till it's too late to have any real choices", thus the inevitable.
