When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Doesn't it go into consolidated revenue? Meaning it has no link to road spending at all. And most roads are state and local spend, not federal anyway

Bugger it this is the most important story right now.

In the EU there is a court of justice approved list of animal adjacent names you can use in different countries.

Peanut butter is fine everywhere
Creme de menthe in French speaking countries

This stuff is truly ridiculous. No one is getting confused by "soy milk".

Big batteries are now outcompeting gas in the grid – and gas-rich Western Australia is at the forefront Gas was long thought to be essential as a backup for a clean energy grid. But enormous growth in grid-scale batteries has changed the game.

The most important story you didn't know you need to read this week.

If you don't want bikes on sidewalks or on the road, the solution is simple. Build the fking bike lanes!

Negative gearing changes on the table before May budget, Jim Chalmers confirms Treasurer says ‘not unusual’ for his department to examine options but stresses that no decision has been made

Labor's caution increasingly comes across as patheticness. Just frigging say you are considering it.

Remember when they did top level games about all of this and it went so badly for them they had to demand the other side stop doing obvious things that would cause embarrassment?

Never impute to malice what is more readily explained by deep, pitiful incompetence

Could have been some of those "dangerous" bombs

Inpex apparently employs about 300 people in Darwin. The only tax the NT gets out of it is payroll tax.

Darwin "lucky" to be poisoned by gas giant, says NT Dept Chief Minister

Shocking. And politically insane.

Analysis: China’s clean-energy exports in 2024 alone will cut overseas CO2 by 1% - Carbon Brief China’s clean-energy technologies such as solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles are helping to cut emissions in other countries.

The solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines exported from China in 2024 are set to cut annual CO2 emissions in the rest of the world by 1%, some 220m tonnes (MtCO2). www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

Agree it's complex. Which is why agencies like the "net zero Authority" should include coal mining, not just power.

Builders also get paid pretty well.

I am not against skilled migration but I don't think it's quite the trade off you put.

It's got to be better than training brand new builders?

Why do you think they're getting there. The last week seems very step 3

The 70s movie? (one of my favourites)

History is full of world-changing ‘difficult’ women: Saint Mary MacKillop was a ‘troublemaker,’ Thea Proctor was ‘dangerously modern’, Millicent Preston Stanley - the first female member of NSW Parliament - was a ‘battleaxe.’

Here is an illustrated map I did for our She Shapes History walking tour!
