Vote Greens. This is a democracy, they can win government.

But only if people like you put half the effort into volunteering as you do into posting, you treat social media like a full-time job.

Social media is distraction.

We have a democracy, but you need to exercise your rights irl.

In short, it's over.

Renewables won.

It doesn't even matter if governments want to push coal. Solar just keeps getting cheaper to deploy, and panel efficiency keeps increasing.

I never thougt I'd say this. But the market itself and private equity are going to side with solar. CATL's new sodium-ion batteries are the future of storage.

Next year and onwards we'll see more electrification of trades/ag.

CATL's new battery can do 700km+ in an SUV. Charges in 5mins. So we're crossing the energy density threshold required for those sorts of applications.

Farms can have their own solar/battery setup and charge for free.

Just in time.

Being upset that posting doesn't change the world overnight does not make this a "not democracy."

We have the best voting infrastructure in the world. The AEC are a wonderful institution.

Greens Victorians, don't forget to sign up to volunteer in the coming election!

Happy long weekend.

Greens threaten to play Senate hardball on CGT changes The Greens argue the 50 per cent CGT deduction for investors should be abolished altogether, and that the change be applied retrospectively.

It is insane that The Greens aren't rising in the polls faster than PHON.

Here they are again, fighting on behalf of the working class. There is a reason the entire corporate media is aligned against them.

AFR clowns using terms like "threaten" and "hardball" to pant The Greens as thugs.

Friends don't let friends post shitty Roy Morgan SMS polls.

There is no universe where One Nation polls higher than the ALP in Vic.

Freshwater Strategy: Labor 28, Coalition 27, One Nation 23, Greens 13 in Victoria - The Poll Bludger As a by-election looms in early May, solid personal ratings for the new Victorian Liberal leader fail to forestall the exodus to One Nation.

52/48

If there was ever any proof that Facebook, Twitter and Reddit are disconnected from the real world...

This is after non-stop astroturfing and media hit pieces the last three months.

ALP, Greens and Legalize campaigning hasn't even kicked off yet. The right aren't winning Vic.

Queensland government to scrap three-strike drug diversion The changes would allow first-time offenders a single chance to be referred to a drug diversion program with subsequent offending attracting fines or criminal charges.

Back to the good ol' days of copping a charge for using cannabis and being locked out of employment.

Queensland objectively sucks and the idiots can't stop voting for creepy christian goblins. They just keep shifting further right, hoping something will change. Maybe we'll get another Joh.

One of the funny self-owns that will result from Pauline's deportation plan. Is the sudden and complete collapse of aged care and the pension.

We have 4 workers for every retiree currently, suddenly shedding workers (taxpayers) kills welfare.

Boomers and Gen X voting for their own noose.

Frustratingly, the dry is set to continue after this burst.

With El Nino not peaking until mid-next year we can probably expect dryer-than-normal conditions until 2028.

I hope this ends up wrong. It has been uplifting to see everything come to life.

My issue with Bandt was the party had been built to win government with a great professional groundwork laid by Di Natale.

But Bandt could not carry that torch. A poor orator of good policy, constantly acting as if he were an activist standing outside of parliament rather than within it.

I'm trying to guess his name from the the image. Is it "Dipshit?"

My advice is to relax a bit.

If PHON win a state, or win federally, they are going to have to actually govern. Their greivance politics only work when in opposition.

I'm convinced that a PHON government will be a fast path to a Greens government after PHON fumbles.

Let the dogs catch the car.

When you're a Greens voter you get to sleep easy knowing you're supporting a party that actually represents our best nature.

They are ready to lead, with great candidates and fully-costed policy. Make sure you register to volunteer. Posting won't win elections.

We're two years out from a federal election. One Nation are going to have to attract candidates that can actually win seats in metro areas.

Trump is going to rule over a US economic depression, making it hard for 71 year old Pauline to push his policies here.

All while El Nino peaks mid-2027.

The point is that Hanson can't be PM because she is a sitting senator.

She would have to resign and then run for a seat in the lower house to have a path to PM.

The kids are okay.

Everyone else has rats for brains.

Pauline is a senator, she would need to run and win in a lower house seat to be Prime Minister.

If folks truly understood the climate's trajectory, they would all be single issue voters.

Instead, "immigration" is the top concern.

So when our crops refuse to grow, and a lifeless ocean laps at our feet. At least we may starve to death, with hearts full of hate, in a "white" Australia.

I talk about mobilization for adaption and mitigation and people look at me like I am Mao wearing a tinfoil hat and a sandwich board.

I agree that Australians care, I read polls toom

But their understanding of climate change is stuck in 2018. Because our media does not educate or inform, it does the very opposite.

We are currently facing the possibility of 3C by 2050. Trying to communicate that to Aussie voters is near futile.

Try to talk to Aussies avout the climate or environment they shut down and babble out some culture war nonsense.

Corporate media, coupled with gag orders and NDAs for climate scientists and analysts, have killed it as a top-of-mind issue.

The Greens don't stand a chance in this media environment.

That's a shame Jerry I was looking forward to Batman fighting woke Joker.

A graph showing a rapid uptick in oceqn warming this last month. This will lead to mass ocean die offs, increased coral bleaching. As well as contributing to massive, slow-moving storm systems. We can expect flooding events similar to 2023. Causing billions in damage and affecting food prices and availability while other parts of the country suffer through drought conditions brought on by a forming El Nino. Which is set to peak in mid 2027. It's okay to grieve, it's a necessary step before you can truly move on and take action.

Oceans are getting soup-warm while an El Nino spins up. #auspol skeeters spend all day reacting to whatever controversy is pushed by corporate media. While acting as though they are above any sort of algorithmic manipulation.

26-27 is going to be one for the climate history books.

Michael West is a hack writer, always has been. "Leftist" Gen X auspolistan personified.

"Wolf-warrior" shitposting meets alien cult schizoposting.

Behind the Pageantry of Shen Yun, Untreated Injuries and Emotional Abuse (Published 2024)

Everyone involved is awful.

Shen Yun / Falun Gong are the owners of the batshit right-wing tabloid "The Epoch Times."

NY Times did an expose of Shen Yun a couple of years ago.

Generation X Is in the Bullseye for Lead Exposure, Harms to Mental Health A UVA researcher says 151 million cases of diagnosable mental disorders “can be attributed to lead.”

I will stand on my "it's lead poisoning" soap box all day.

It's lead poisoning. I'm not making fun. It is stored in bones and then released into the body as you age. Gen X are most affected, followed by Boomers.

I don't think he's saying anything.
I think a small murmur occurs deep within the media-poisoned recesses of his brain and his fingers twitch out a post in response.
