Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.

Increasingly clear that the future of the species hinges on the American/Israeli empire collapsing before the climate does

Speaker Milton Dick decides to allow Tim Wilson a “fair go” but has to shut him down as Wilson goes from being lectured by Jim Chalmers on interest rates to being lectured by the Speaker on how to make a point of order.🙄

The only one who is in a position of self defense is Iran. Anyone else is engaging attack

Larissa Waters asks Penny Wong if Australia is “at war”
Wong “we are engaged in collective self defence…”
Waters “Point of order on relevance, are we at war?”

David Shoebridge says the reason Labor is legislating to “shut the door” on 7200 Iranian refugees “on the same day” of granting asylum to the Iranian women’s football team, is so other Iranians don’t “come here & do exactly what the Iranian women’s football team did”💥 #auspol

NACC's robodebt investigation conjures offensive and stupid excuses for letting Scott Morrison off The NACC report on robodebt is out and it exonerates Scott Morrison, with a series of excuses and a justification of extraordinary offensiveness.

Opinion | So, Scott Morrison is officially exonerated on Robodebt by the NACC. Its reasoning has to be read to be believed, writes Bernard Keane. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/11/n...

‘We support the US’: Albanese’s response to strikes on Iran As the Albanese government refuses to be drawn on the legality of US–Israeli strikes on Iran, key advisers are seeking to frame the conflict in domestic terms.

For decades, successive governments have framed their diplomacy around defending the “rules-based international order”. Yet when confronted with a major military action by its closest ally, Albanese has avoided the language of legality altogether. satpa.pe/HY4CEbJ

Trying to get my head around the Anti-Corruption Commission's argument that a corruption hearing of a former prime minister is somehow not in the public interest

NACC's robodebt investigation conjures offensive and stupid excuses for letting Scott Morrison off The NACC report on robodebt is out and it exonerates Scott Morrison, with a series of excuses and a justification of extraordinary offensiveness.

Crikey gives a very good assessment of what is behind the NACC findings on the Robodebt 6 and their statement. More evidence, if there isn’t enough already, that the NACC is knackered.

The NACC also takes a swipe at Catherine Holmes RC findings, very poor form.

What a fucking crock.
Two mid-level officials found to be corrupt by the NACC, but the big guns get off scot-free forever.

Matt Canavan's personal project is the bullshit Babies Born Alive bill, which claims that women & doctors are collaborating to murder viable babies at birth for the mother's convenience.

He uses the reprehensible Joanna Howe, who fakes citations to claim this is happening, as a stalking horse.

White House Assures Public It Will Develop Objectives for Iran War Once It Is Over — The Shovel The White House has reassured citizens that while the war with Iran may appear to lack objectives or a clear purpose, officials are confident that a coherent strategy will be formulated shortly after ...

“The problem with setting objectives before a war begins is that it requires thinking, which can be a real bore. We’ve found it’s best to keep things flexible and just make it up as we go. It keeps the narrative fresh,” a White House spokesperson said.

Albanese’s politics of avoidance From AUKUS to Gaza and now Iran, the government’s instinct has been to avoid political traps rather than confront hard choices – and voters are drifting away.

.
"When asked about the illegality of the attack on Iran, Penny Wong said: “I’ll leave it to the US and Israel to speak on the legal basis for the attack.” She was in effect saying that we should ask criminals whether their actions are legal or illegal. God help us."

Grievance politics is easy. Dignity is trickier – and often missing It is easy, and, in this climate, fruitful, to claim that whatever indignity you face is because someone else is receiving more than you.

"It is fuelled and flamed by politicians deliberately fanning the licks of fear and anger they know exist and exploiting them for political gain. And through that anger and fear, they grow their own personal political movement. Facts don’t matter here, only feelings."

"F-35 Components: Over 70 Australian companies contribute to the global F-35 supply chain. These components are sent to the US, which then supplies the final aircraft to Israel, allowing Australia to argue they are not direct suppliers.

"The organisations allege Denmark is violating its international commitments by selling Israel parts for F-35 jet fighters, given what an Amnesty official called Israel’s “war crimes and genocide” in Gaza."
