Did you know that Woodside's Browse gas project – starting in the early 2030s at the soonest – will likely get to pretend that it has always existed under Australia's climate pollution laws in order to avoid laws specifically put in place to hold that project to a higher standard? Now you do!
Estimated annual emissions allowance for Browse gas project under Australia's climate pollution laws

Substantial loopholes in Australia's climate pollution laws mean that Woodside's Browse project may avoid being treated as a new facility under laws specifically designed to hold that project to a higher standard. This is occurring even though the project will not commence until the early 2030s at the soonest. It is new by any reasonable measure.

The total benefit of this loophole to Woodside and its joint venture partners is in the order of $210 million.

If you still support Trump and his administration, we don’t have political differences — we have moral ones. Because racism, hatred, and incitement are not opinions. They are a character test. And you are failing it.

We could eliminate $7 billion in medical debt with the $70 million they spent to beat me in the primary. Those same corporations and special interests are trying to buy the seat for Mike Rogers now. In November we teach them once and for all: Michigan is not for sale.

Two way street. My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Title: “Two way street”. Scene: a road from foreground leading into distance. Left, a woman on a bicycle with a bag and backpack and a small child in a baby seat at the front, riding away from our viewpoint. At left, a series of roadside signs saying, “LEAVE AND I’LL MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL”; “LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO”; SHUT UP OR ELSE”; “BUT I LOVE YOU…”
On the right, driving toward us, a large truck driven by a barely visible man.
