Adelaide, Australia. Kindness matters. A firm believer in social democracy. Paying close attention to the world and I love the many great young, and not so young, people in it. There is much goodness in this world despite the ugliness of the oligarchy.

The Fed Gov claims “the strongest gambling reforms this country has ever seen”, but that’s because for years govs have done bugger-all. These gutless reforms make minor tweaks which won't protect kids, delink gambling and sport, or stop the suicides. Shame on them #auspol #politas

In Spain today: installation of solar panels above major irrigation channels. Channels of more than 100 kms transport water from dams to farmland. - Reduces evaporation -Provides large agricultural areas with power & supports irrigation -Decreases use of water in food production, doubling the crop.

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

Spain just became one of Europe's cheapest power markets. Here is how.
How wind and solar quietly pushed gas off the margin, and the wholesale price followed.

As of today Australia’s minimum legal wage is $26.44 an hour. $1040 a 38hour work week. $50k a year. No-one’s getting rich and few could own a house and contribute to family welfare, but it’s better than the US rate of $7.25 which hasn’t changed since 2009. We thank our unions for this. #Auspol

In the UK according to George Monboit “ Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again". I’m thinking that in Australia something similar would occur with votes spilling left to independents and Green candidates. Major parties are increasing disconnected from voters.
