I write a bit. Too many issues and opinions to stay silent. I also paint a bit, naively.

Well before he lost the nation, ousted Opposition leader Peter Dutton was losing his own home seat crowd. Remember the old wisdom that all politics is local! Thanks to @climate200.bsky.social #auspol

Revealed: the secret polling which foretold the fast and furious collapse of Peter Dutton - THE POLITICS
Data obtained exclusively by The Politics shows Dutton’s numbers were crashing in his own seat. It was a far cry from the ‘tight contest’ predicted by the major polls.

@murrayhogarth.bsky.social Excellent analysis piece, Murray. Jacinta is an interesting character on our political stage. But is she the (RW) Mesiah? thepolitics.com.au/jacinta-come...

Jacinta comes at a hefty Price - THE POLITICS
What she lacks in experience and ... how to put this gently ... humility, she makes up for with chutzpah enough for a future PM in any party that'll have her.

A sour smell of failure hangs over Donald Dutton - THE POLITICS
Four weeks before the election the opposition leader has belatedly recognised his MAGA-lite policies are on the nose for the electorate. Oof.

Time to take a rasp to ASPI - THE POLITICS
The ghost of Peter Dutton's old, stale ScoMo-era defence ministry looms over the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, the think-tank that China loves to hate.

The LNP's latest non-plan is nothing more than a re-election tactic and a plan to extend the life of coal and gas on behalf of their large fossil fuel donors. Don't fall for it. #auspol

A picture tells a thousand words! Coalition gives the finger to gender gap on nuclear energy, with four blokes fronting today’s big policy announcement. Diversity you ask? One of the four isn’t from Queensland!

Peter Dutton’s nuclear plan: Mad, bad, and extremely dangerous
It might seem weirdly appropriate that Peter Dutton should release his nuclear power policy costings on Friday the 13th. But that would be to downplay the sheer lunacy, rank dishonesty, and clear d…

That's not cricket: Dutton nukes CSIRO's probity - THE POLITICS
The Australia v India Test is underway, and the opposition leader could learn from players about how to play the game with class: don’t bad-mouth the umpire when you’re called out.

Grabbed my first opportunity to use new Macquarie Dictionary word of the year “enshittification” in a story. The #nuclearenergy debate will do that!

Frisson vs fission in nuke fantasy vs facts - THE POLITICS
What’s hot and what’s not in the contest of ideas? The Grattan Institute reckons SMRs are too hot to handle and renewables play it cool.

Energy efficiency needs a radical rethink. Making fossil fuel technologies & processes incrementally more efficient is no longer enough. It might even perpetuate their use. In my new article I explore how energy efficiency needs to evolve to remain relevant. medium.com/p/41741abea59b

Sadly, in Australia, for our extraordinary native wildlife, this looks like an unholy union of feral mass killers.

Don’t know about you, but all of these incredible images of our increasingly known universe make me feel very humble; and more concerned than ever about what we insignificant humans are doing to the remarkable home planet we’ve been blessed with by the best luck since the Big Bang.

Would love to see #COP31 locked in for 2026 hosting by Australia with Pacific nations as an outcome from #COP29 in Azerbaijan. Two years to prepare will allow a high quality and impactful event, as long as Australia doubles down on its #climate targets and ambitions.

Decadal stats for #renewables are a great way to remind ourselves that real progress is happening. And it’s happening despite the ideological and vested interest naysayers still claiming it can’t and won’t happen!

I covered the early heat-driven mass coral bleaching events in the late 1990s, for the Sydney Morning Herald, when engaged scientists warned it would get worse and become common. Sadly, they were right!

An independent senator fears not the wrath of Labor — nor the wealth of the Zucks and Musks of the world — by opposing the government’s mis- and dis-information bill.
