Not just large #EVs, but those bloody large utes, that get tax incentives, and burn diesel with little to no emissions controls.

Australia needs to drop its obsession with large EVs if it wants to meet climate targets
Australia needs regulatory and policy changes that focus on encouraging small EVs, not large ones, if it is to meet its big climate targets.

He goes: Woodside is the only pathway to fund marine research.

Claiming we wouldn't have nice things without fossil fuel companies is standard play and shows a complete lack of imagination. Marine research is funded without fossil fuel money around the world.

So Reduxx has been banned from BlueSky.
Is it because people here can't handle the truth?
I've yet to see any article of them being challenged. They factcheck everything. It certainly isn't misinformation.

This is pure censorship and authoritarian imo.

In a landmark ruling, the judges say it is not a triumph for one side over another and the law still gives trans people protection against discrimination.

It's a combination of small penises and large tax concessions.

Plus slack vehicle emission standards for so-called "commercial" vehicles.

The govt could easily change policy to encourage smaller, more efficient vehicles. But they are shit-scared of the usual vested interests and party donors.

Seeing as BlueSky is only showing me 'But Michael Phelps...' takes from people who disagree with this, I feel compelled to QP my support for it.

Women's sport should be for females only and it is pleasing that the tide has finally turned on this. The IOC will be the last domino to fall I imagine.
