it is always and only the voter who decides where their preferences go. Some parties give suggested orders to make it easy for lazy voters but no one is ever required to follow them

Large, high emitting SUVs and utes aren't really just being used by tradies and those who need to tow boats It is clear the massive increase in SUVs and utes is not due to more tradies or those using them on weekends, but because out tax system encourages the purchase of these behemoths to the detriment of ...

yup, my man told me to dismantle it, but I thought it was safe: alas a tree landed on it and bent some of the rim so had to chuck it 😔 - so please learn from my mistake - pack them up already!

That's why they made those cyclone proof metal pegs! Though last cyclone we had a tree in my garden fell onto my clothes line, so wouldn't have mattered which pegs I used.

it also means people have to spend their money with the multinationals shops but are less likely to be able to afford cash for markets and private sales.

Yes! It is reminders like this that shows many of the Independents vote for cruel policies like this card that remind me why I can trust the Greens to actually care and need to be wary of Independents who are rather too Liberal leaning and leave children so hungry they go stealing for food.

And way too many products in supermarkets are from overseas. I've noticed all the kiwifruit are now from USA and most canned foods aren't grown in au.
This adds to climate costs, makes us vulnerable and so isnt cheaper in the long run.

Thankyou, that's what I came here to say: climate chaos is already boosting the costs of living and increasingly will get seriously dire. If we don't bring our emissions to negative zero and ditch the greenwash of concepts like "net" then we will see starvation in levels never seen before.

Boiling Point: Welcome to Boiling Point!

When people use the word "politics", they are probably referring to the current system where we alternate between two major Parties, which isn't a very pleasant topic. It will get less contentious once we get past that - our quality of life depends on it!

Check out the video. 😆

JobSeeker pays $20K/year, the Age Pension $30K/year.

In contrast, fossil fuel subsidies totalling $14.5B/year, benefiting 276K mining & industry workers at $52.5K each.

Welfare supports millions in need, yet subsidies heavily favor a small industry, highlighting stark funding disparities.

yes, I am so hoping we have a mass green teal win,
but we still need to decide who to put last of the liblabs and having seen what the evil CLP are doing in the NT,
I'd much rather Tania or someone rolled Albo than a spuddicktatorship

Albo knew the voice would be lost once the noalition wasnt bipartisan and he was cruel to not stop it

BP to raise oil and gas spending to $10bn a year in pivot away from green goals Firm confirms plans to scale back green energy efforts and ‘fundamentally reset’ strategy

As expected: BP will be giving up on greenwashing and misleading targets and instead be honest about its long-term, long-held strategy to expand the sale and use of fossil fuels

Netanyahu 🇮🇱 is a wanted man.

If he steps foot in Ireland 🇮🇪 he will be arrested and sent to The Hague.

No delays.
No equivocation.

Ireland 🇮🇪 stands with Palestine 🇵🇸
