Yet another of those many legacy media articles that detail results of the #ClimateCrisis. But fail to mention who is responsible. #auspol

It was a false article in The Australian blaming arson not hotter temperatures for the fires that was central in shaping public perception. Shameful. #auspol #climatecrisis www.smh.com.au/environment/...

How the Black Summer fires failed to shift Australians’ climate views
The Black Summer fires that burnt 24 million hectares, killed at least 33 people and destroyed 3000 homes did not shift the opinions of climate sceptics.

Whether it’s ‘defence’, #gambling ads, #agedcare, employment services, fossil fuels… The UniParty is making decisions not in the national interest, but for corporate interests. #AUKUS #auspol

You would think pulling the strings of a political party would be enough influence for one person, but apparently not. Gina’s getting into the media business. What could possibly go wrong…

This is a major challenge. The structures outlined in this recent senate report focused on climate change and renewables - but can also be applied to every issue. Great to see the report highlight the need to support independent media as a way to counter disinformation #auspol

Australian politics used to be a relatively serious pursuit, with most participants taking their responsibilities seriously. That is no longer so. Mostly now they range from mindlessly corrupted to actively clownish in their behaviour. One thing we don't get anymore, as a result, is good laws.

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown. Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down. Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.
