Albanese still can't seem to bring himself to do anything about that genocide he refuses to acknowledge. He has all the power to expel Israeli ambassadors and cut ties with Israeli weapons companies. Dutton is actively cheerleadering genocide but we can't give Albanese a pass for being less bad.

This's a direct result of John Howards changes to tax & concessions for housing investors, & Labor's inability to slow then stop them. Which drives up the cost of houses ridiculously for renters $20 billion pa for negative gearing & capital gains- sucking the money out of credible housing policy

The world knows coal will soon be all washed up with no where to go. So let’s make it pay its way by taxing coal company profits and using that 💰 to prepare for the damage it’s caused and towards transitioning mining industry workers.

They sound pretty much the same, but methanol is very much not. It's incredibly toxic to drink. And the Formic acid tends aggregate in tissues with high blood supply, brain, eyes, liver etc. You can actually survive and still be permanently blinded. Or worse So bad 😢😢😢

Drinkable alcohol is ethanol based. What they drank was methanol. Due to the chemistry, when the body tries to break that down, it first turns it into formaldehyde (yeah that). But it gets worse. From there, that gets broken down into formic acid (ant chemicals). It's super toxic to drink
