Gosh how is it that Vic Police so closely policed the Nazi march yesterday except for the bit where the Nazis beat up unsuspecting Indigenous people? For that bit the police managed to turn up only after it was over and arrested no-one. Curious.

We will never support the regime in Iran, as we have stood with the Iranian women's revolution and know full well how they are treated in the land of the Mullahs. That said, it is clear that Netanyahu is a danger to humanity.

Politicians should be excluded from receiving these awards altogether. They're remunerated generously, and receive a very good super packages, and most go on to lucrative careers after politics. Let the gongs instead focus on people who have directly improved the lives of ordinary Australians.

History teaches us something critical that all the propaganda desperately doesn't want us to understand. Small acts of decency, courage and kindness have unknowable but sometimes massive ripple effects. So much of fighting fascism is literally just not being a cunt.

IT'S HERE! Liberal Lies Collector Card #6: "Renewables are driving up power bills" The Truth? Electricity is expensive because of surging fossil fuel prices. 🔄 Repost to share the truth 💾 Save now to quickly share 👇 See thread for extra details ➕ Follow for more! #auspol #factcheck #AusVotes2025
An imitation collector card, with the brand "Australian Liberal Party Lies". This is #6. The tagline is "Collect them all ... so you don't elect them all!"

The Lie section says: “Renewables are driving up power bills”.

The Facts section says:
“Coal and gas prices have DOUBLED, which pushed up wholesale and then retail electricity prices”.

A series of small bar charts illustrate changes in relevant data between 2020/21 and 2022/23/24, showing coal prices increasing 135%, gas prices 112%, wholesale electricity prices 104%, and the percentage of renewables having increased 30%. Retail prices are shown in a larger chart to have increased 24% from 2020/21/22 to 2023/24. An arrow links wholesale prices to retail prices with the label “Lag”.

Footnotes refer to the sources of the data as AER, ABS, Open Electricity, YCharts and OFX.

The 'no cuts to frontline services' shibboleth is such a furphy. When Dutton says he wants to cut (or let wither) 36,000 jobs from the public service, everything is affected. The response post ex-cyclone Alfred proves how vital the work of the APS is www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environ...
