Or as @richarddenniss.bsky.social put it in Dead Right:
"Neoliberalism has trained us to thank our sponsors, not our fellow citizens, for what we have collectively achieved."
Seems like if several ubiquitous health care interventions cause autism, we should really be studying those freaks who ended up neurotypical.
*Labor: approves biggest gas project in southern hemisphere out to 2070*
Successive Australian Govt’s haven’t been telling the truth about the huge costs of not acting on climate.
Good to see the Albanese govt has finally released the National Climate Risk Assessment.
They need to back it up with a 2035 target of at least 75%.

Larissa Waters: If Labor fails to set a science-based climate target then it’s crystal clear: they have utterly prioritised coal and gas profits at the expense of community safety and nature.”

The North West Shelf project has caused WA gas and electricity prices to TRIPLE since it started exporting domestic gas reserves in 2020.
Now the Federal Government has approved extending the project to 2070, and it will only get worse.

“Approving new fossil fuel exports is destroying the future. It isn’t just a betrayal of our Pacific neighbors, it is a betrayal of all Australians, putting the profits of foreign-owned fossil fuel corporations ahead of our wellbeing, security & prosperity,” said @richarddenniss.bsky.social. #auspol
Had a read of the climate risk report... oddly didn't see anywhere it saying "and therefore approving a 50 year extension to the North West Shelf is all good"

I was there! It was an amazing turnout!
The next time anyone argues "taxpayers should fund private schools" remember hundreds of thousands of dollars at Riverview College produced Barnaby Joyce.
But there can’t be a transparent Voice to Parliament because it would bring down democracy (or some other ill-informed reason)
I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.
#CommitToALivingWage #DoIt
That’s not Newy!
Be good if media disclosed Scomo as a weapons and AUKUS lobbyist.
(maybe even 'former PM and simultaneously Minister for Health, Industry, Home Affairs, Finance & Treasurer')
“Australia is continuing to collect more revenue from HECS fees than it gets from the PRRT."
- Richard Denniss, Executive Director
In 2023-24 Australian HECS/HELP revenue rose to $5.1bn while PRRT fell to less than a quarter that amount to just $1.1bn. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Thank you to all employees and partners who contribute to our ongoing reconciliation journey. Read the full report on our website: https://bit.ly/4kJrsOW
Woodside Energy takes gaslighting psych ops to a whole other level
How do they "reconcile" their Murujuga rock art cultural heritage-destroying North West Shelf Extension carbon bomb to 2070, with ‘Respect for Culture and Heritage’❓
Remember all that fulminating in the billionaire press about "free speech" (ie their freedom to abuse Muslims, trans people etc with impunity)? Now that people are being arrested for speaking about an issue of the utmost gravity, the self-appointed guardians of liberty have fallen strangely silent.
"one of those arrested was Deborah Hinton, an 81-year-old former magistrate. Video showed police carrying an elderly man away from the Truro demonstration as he shouted, 'I oppose genocide'.”
This is the police state future for Australia in #JillianSegal 's 'plan'.

Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social. 'None of this passes the pub test'
Article in the Canberra Times on the folly of Jillian Segal
Well said @jennaprice.bsky.social
#Antisemitism #auspol
Look at this sh*t
A “stand up to hate” campaign organised by the media
“This has been authorised by a consortium of Australia’s leading media executives”
The media r literally RESPONSIBLE for enablement of racism, hate, division, culture wars, antisemitism, Islamophobia, etc
They’ve got a nerve
Fuck
“A “groundswell” of Labor rank-and-file members urging govt to reject key recommendations from fed antisemitism envoy Segal according to an internal lobby group, urging a focus on anti-racism education rather than more contentious ideas such as stripping funding from universities and arts bodies.”
Australia’s multiculturalism lives mostly on the surface. Inclusion without voice is tokenism |

It's easy to forget Australia has a Labor government when some of Albo's decisions have a strong Morrison smell about them. The envoy appointed to placate perpetually outraged Zionists is a huge misstep. #auspol
Anti-racism doesn’t play favourites. Australia has an opportunity to lead by example, to build anti-racism strategies that unite us, not divide us and ensure no one is left standing alone. #auspol #racism
Australia 2025 where
“…80,000 well-heeled individuals are digging in to ensure they not just retain their wealth but the ability to ensure it grows at the expense of others.” and 1/3 of young workers are ripped off. Trumpland here we come!

Funnily enough, she's happy to attach herself to her husband's money when it suits
'John Roth & his wife Jillian Segal have bought their waterfront neighbour for $30,263,400.'
Now I'm going to censor all you plebeians helping out underprivileged Palestinians . . .
Gosh, will you look at my view
Look, it's the envoy's *husband* funding a vicious rightwing lobby group. She's just getting on with her job of social cohesion by accusing institutions of "ingrained" antisemitism, suggesting we defund schools, unis, charities, media outlets, artists & academics if they get out of line. So lay off.
What really gets me about Segal is that her report arrived the same week as both the Coroner’s report into Kumanjayi Walker’s death & the Yoorrook report detailing genocide in Victoria. When will governments act to prevent discrimination against Aboriginal people? #auspol
