Voters around the world wish a plague on all incumbents. Labour can avoid that fate.

“At some point a health minister might ponder that if people prefer the public health system, then maybe government should just fund it better and stop pretending subsidised private health delivers much other than a dud product that most people don’t want and hate even when they have it.” Source: Greg Jericho in The Guardian

I've been aware of the need to address climate change for forty years
12 years ago I was arguing for a serious look at nuclear energy. My thinking was it would take ten years to investigate, establish the ground rules, and consider what was required to make it happen.
Because 12 years ago renewable energy wasn't up to the task
Well, 12 years later, nuclear's time has passed. Renewable energy now has a clear path to achieve 100% of our energy needs
In 12 years thats how much its advanced
Dutton's desire to keep us using coal while he distracts the population with his baubles, appealing to the murdoch/musk/zuckenberg fed masses
We can't let Australia go backwards again on tackling climate change
The LNP sent us into a groundhog day, reversing all the progress of Rudd/Gillard. We dont have the time for another lost decade

A precedent-setting case alleges the oil giant misled investors about future emissions, using unsubstantiated data and following direct interventions by the chief executive.

'Wong’s framing of this genocide as a “conflict,” a “war” is a gross misrepresentation of reality. This is not a conflict between two equal sides, nor is it a matter of “divergent perspectives.” It is a systematic campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing aimed at erasing Palestinians from their homeland, and Australia’s handwringing over neutrality and ceasefire is nothing short of complicity.'

★ How It Went

Gillard and Ardern respectively were two of the best Prime Ministers of contemporay Australasian politics: while both made mistakes (who doesn't in politics) they were incredibly hard working, demonstrated considerable leadership and sought meaningful change - but both their prime ministerships were greviously damaged by misogyny. #auspol #nzpol

"Peter Dutton’s friend, NACC Deputy Commissioner Nicole Rose, is a Liberal Party stooge who has made $millions off the taxpayer via her friendship with Dutton and former federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan.

Nicole Rose is Peter Dutton’s eyes and ears inside the NACC and, as per the below video, Dutton talks highly of Nicole Rose and his relationship with her when she reported directly to Dutton when he was Home Affairs Minister"

When is the blatant corruption going to be stopped? NACC is useless, just feeding public money to private people.

The plan to hand Trump the White House if he loses the election. “Preventing this scenario requires Republicans to act in good faith and certify the results of elections that go against their guy.” I don’t have election anxiety; I’m worried about this. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/little-secret-trump-johnson-election/
