It is sobering to think that, despite the losses of so many liberal seats, how little talent and integrity was lost to the LNP and that even less remains.

Any decent LNP project manager knows you can have things cheaper, better and faster - well, at least two out of three.

If even the most faithful fossil fuel, nuclear, and bioenergy advocates don't see the writing on the wall that their products are totally unnecessary and will eventually be relegated to the annals of history, they are deceiving themselves.

Dutton refers to the CSIRO as a "green environmental group". Does he think it's an insult to call Australia's pre-eminent science org environmentally responsible?! Under Dutton, the Coalition is no better than Pauline Hanson's One Nation. #auspol #AusVotes25 #science #Climate #environmentalism
