Still not convinced that a majority of attempts at offsets are meaningfully mitigating the harms some claim they do, in fact in many cases it appears they are very much helping to fuel the harms, on account of laws of physics, chemistry, and ecological realities on a finite planet.

Who pockets profits from these data centres eventually? The Australian taxpayer? 😂😂😂 Utility companies pass costs of massive power grid & electrical infrastructure upgrades down to regular consumers to support their immense energy demands

China and housing: Two things we may have missed. Tax Australian gas now otherwise we do really look like a lucky country run by mediocre people. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Two things easily missed while we were distracted by trivia
In Australia, we’re too busy looking at the next carriage on the political sushi train to realise the track itself is broken.

We had 83mm of rain yesterday, first decent drop after four weeks of no rain. Very welcome but quite intense—half of that fell in less than an hour. Water sheeting everywhere, dams overflowing. I realised just how much we need to learn if we want to keep living in an increasingly energetic world…

With the two major parties clearly owned by the US security establishment, the defence lobby and the Sinophobes, Australia needs a referendum on AUKUS or give up on the pretence that we are a working democracy.

80% of Australians support a complete ban on gambling advertising. It’s time the government got on board. Join the campaign today to call on the federal government to protect young Australians from the predatory gambling industry and free our feeds from gambling ads.

The age of 'independent' central banks is past its use-by date. See this i/v with Leah Downey, a political theorist from Kings College. She argues that insulating monetary policy from democratic accountability concentrates unchecked power in unelected technocrats. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqRu...

Australia's trend unemployment rate has risen from 4% to 4.6% in two years and is still rising, yet the RBA is persisting in raising cash rates because of a global oil shock. It is ideological madness and it must be close to pitchfork time.

Having met Shoebridge, I think Albanese should be worried. Shoebridge is tough, smart and instinctive. a killer combo in politics. Australia needs a real opposition given hollowman Albanese's effective coaltion with the right. I'm not sure how the ALP rusted-ons live with themselves.

Given the Albanese government’s approval of 31 new gas and coal projects since 2022 in blatant denial of science, his refusal to tax gas shows complete disregard for current voters and our descendants.

Despite calls for AI guardrails, sadly, the Albanese Government has been "toothless" and slow to act on the threat of AI.
