Imagine if you were in parliament for decades, and became Australia’s foreign affairs minister, and the main thing you were remembered for was failing to call out a genocide that was televised live for 2 years.

Australia is one of the biggest gas exporters in the world, but we're told to worry about a domestic gas shortage? Might have something to do with the fact that 80% of our gas is exported. We have a gas export problem, not a supply problem. @markogge.bsky.social #auspol

A good read this. Surprised other outlets haven't pursued the same line, querying why Labor Left so quiet. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
smh.com.au
Labor’s Left backed Trump’s strikes on Iran. It’s not the only issue they’ve shifted on
Anthony Albanese, Penny Wong and Tanya Plibersek all spoke in support of the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities. It would have been unheard of at the start of their careers.

Reports that Q&A to be axed. A worthy idea that failed the public because it let politicians and others spout shite that was then treated equally with truth and facts all in the guise of "debate". I wrote of one such example in my Meanjin essay meanjin.com.au/essays/the-t...
For such matters, people are better advised to search out websites written by specialist journalists and experts on the issue, such as Renew Economy, than putting their blind faith in many traditional media outlets. Rather than hear from experts, the media landscape is more likely to give weight to the amateur or the celebrity—and we see this every week in panel shows such as Q&A. On 17 June this year a special ‘scientists only’ episode of Q&A was a rare occasion of the show featuring experts talking about the things in which they are expert.

One of the panel, climate scientist David Karoly, told how he had spent ten years seeking to disprove that greenhouse gases were causing climate change. Instead he found ‘fingerprints’ that showed the warming was due to emissions rather than other factors such as solar activity. It was news the ABC and any decent news organisation should be providing to the public.

Seven days later on the very same program, Ash Belsar, a man with no qualifications in science and on the program as a ‘people’s panellist’, stated ‘there’s a very fair, reasonable, and justified suspicion with people in the public that we’re not getting the full picture, and that if someone had an alternative view on climate change, maybe it’s not heard’. He continued, ‘And the fundamentals of it with science is if science isn’t questioned, and it isn’t scrutinised, it’s clearly not real science.’ At no point did the program’s host Tony Jones break in to remind people that an expert in the field just seven days earlier had detailed evidence that the science had been questioned and proven.
