This is an excellent systems analysis of the political economy of UPFs. It maps the 🌍 UPF system using a causal loop diagram, identifying nine reinforcing loops that promote UPF dominance, such as market concentration, corporate influence & agricultural practices 👏 -> doi.org/10.1111/obr....

So let me get this straight, Labor have committed $6B over 3 years to re-staffing public services but the Libs spent $20B in one year for their private donors to do ‘some’ of that work. Who is going to call this out? #auspol

Labor and the Coalition have pledged to raise GP bulk billing. Here’s what the Medicare boost means for patients

Fewer than half of Australians are always bulk billed when they see a GP. Labor’s Medicare plan, which the Coalition has promised to match, could turn this around.

God, even Crikey is reporting that Dutton has "taken the wind out of Albanese's sails" in regard to the Medicare announcement, just because Dutton has said he will match the funding dollar for dollar. The ABC did the same thing yesterday. The framing is pathetic.

They continue to support and promote the FoPL warning labels, including a 'junk food day of the dead' to celebrate their success in getting warning labels put on food packages. Intimidation tactics continue, especially via social media. There is always the risk that the regulations will be revoked

El Poder gathered the scientific evidence for warning labels and this is available on their labelling website + took this evidence to judges to show their effectiveness. They also gathered letters of support from the international community, including UN bodies.

Industry argued that FoPL warning labels didn't have scientific support, were unconstitutional and that industry wasn't sufficiently included (even when they had the majority in many of these discussions!) The supreme court over-ruled the judgement by industry and deemed the action constitutional

So what did they do? - they produced two documentaries uncovering the role of industry in food regulation in Mexico & the impact on health (available with English subtitles) - projected 'excess interference' onto the Coca-Cola headquarters in Mexico (lots of media attention)

The context: - use of FoP nutrient-based labels were ineffective - industry self-regulation - a strong history of revolving doors between industry (esp Coca-Cola) & high-up government roles - industry had close ties with journalists e.g. paying for their travel and sponsoring them to attend events

Climate change is moving faster than scientists projected & they're not totally sure why. One possible explanation is declining cloud cover. If that's true, we may be entering a feedback cycle that accelerates warming much faster than we've modeled.

Scientists have a new explanation for the last two years of record heat

Rising temperatures are fueled, in part, by declining cloud cover — which could be a potential climate feedback loop.
