yeah... obviously what I said above was tongue in cheek and the actual discussion we will have will be more nuanced

I'll be moderating one of the WOMADelaide Planet Talks this year! We'll discuss 'Brave New Futures' My prediction? Billionaires, corporations + govs come to their senses, we end fossil fuels, human rights violations and labubus, and we all live in equitable, peaceful harmony ever after... <3

Qs for any landlords in light of recent extreme weather events. Does your own home + your rental property have: - functioning flyscreens? - functioning blinds/curtains? - proper installed insulation? - energy-efficient heating + cooling? Everyone deserves safe and healthy homes in climate crisis. ❤️

When we look back at Palestinian genocide in history books we must not just see the moment of loudness at the end but the months of silence, excuses and complicity that came first. We need to learn from this, not just applaud breadcrumbs that arrive when bodies are too malnourished to digest them.

Check out this cool and totally random book on climate change I found on the shelf while out and about today that I've never ever seen before. You should buy it for your primary school aged children! (Genuinely. It's great, and @constababble.bsky.social did an incredible job. Buy it twice!)

I would like to thank Tim Baxter for lending me his sharp climate-focused mind and providing feedback and suggestions as an expert and a dad. Thanks also goes to Dr Matthew Priestley from UNSW Digital Grid Futures Institute and to Ketan Joshi, who both lent their expert eyes to the final draft. Thank you to all the scientists, engineers, policy experts and other researchers who work tirelessly to ensure that communicators like me and the wider public have access to the best possible information to tackle the world's big blinkin' problems. I would also like to thank my lovely IRL and online friends for providing me with constant support and enthusiasm along the way. And to Jason you're the absolute best and I couldn't do it without your love and support!

And yet this is supposedly our more 'progressive' party. When all major parties are funded by fossil fuels this is what happens.

When our major parties tell us who they are when it comes to addressing climate crisis or First Nations rights and heritage, we need to believe them. Approving a 'carbon bomb' that will threaten over 50 000 year old rock art. A disgraceful use of power. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Also - our preferential voting system is a beautiful thing to be defended to the death. Forget any “optional preference” etc or worse. A system where everyone’s vote matters is glorious

Genocide Ethnic cleansing Apartheid Fascism We are cautioned again and again from using these words, regardless of how the circumstances point to them. We must only use them in retrospect according to our media. When it's too late to prevent the worst.

What is the use of these words 'genocide' and 'ethnic cleansing' if we cannot use them when observing the symptoms of this disease and as these symptoms worsen? What is the use of these words if we cannot use them to diagnose a disease when we can still cure it and stop it in its tracks?

Lee Constable @constababble.bsky.social · 07/05/2025
To Western media, Is it time now to use the term 'genocide' or 'ethnic cleansing'? As we watch the definition of these words play out live in front of our eyes? What is the use of these words if we only speak them to diagnose a disease once the body is already dead from it.

Imagine if this "debate" we are about to see on housing included comments from parties proposing the most potentially impactful housing policies instead of just the two majors. We have a preferential system. We need to know our preferences beyond the two major parties. Let's act like it. #auspol

Nurses in Australia pay more tax than gas companies. If the person you're voting for isn't going to fix this picture, consider not voting for them. Me? I'm voting greens because none of the fossil fuel-funded majors are putting people above fossil fuel billionaires.

Look mate... I don't wanna hear about "deextincting" animals that haven't been around for 10k years when we have so many animals going extinct right now that we could help. The red wolf (Canis rufus) for example is critically endangered. Now THAT'S a dire* wolf. *in dire need of help.

Less than half is still a lot of people! It's not the majority but that's still worth it. But your claim that it's a well established fact that the majority use them just isn't the case...

Lee Constable @constababble.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
Btw I was just trying to find info on how many people follow how to vote cards rather than deciding on their preferences themselves and the latest info I can find is that less than half use them

Without the pref system, a first-past-the-post system would indeed push us towards more of a two party system
120
Lee Constable @constababble.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
Whether people choose to follow advice of their favourite party is their business but our preferential voting system is one of the things that prevents us from having a two party system rather than enforcing it as you've claimed.

Lee Constable @constababble.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
That's not how preferential voting works. Parties don't control preference. The voter does.
