They don’t advance decarbonisation: they simply allow emitters to continue business as usual” writes Bob Debus. Read the full piece on The Point: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260... 36629
Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I hereby withdraw all my previous criticism of Trump. He has now proved himself to be the genius he has always claimed to be. Who else but a strategic and diplomatic genius could stop a war he himself started? Breathtaking! 021

Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Saw a bit of Afternoon Briefing today with a junior fed minister or something was asked about increasing our fuel reserves. Answer started with “we’re focused on blah blah …” Whenever you hear that it means “I can’t and won’t answer the actual question”. Waste of breath. 000

Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 30/03/20267:30: Albo tied himself in knots trying not to say anything negative about Trump while admitting there has been no regime change and no clear objectives. Also dodged questions about whether he’d raised concerns about economic damage. Read: he’s too scared of Trump to say anything. A gutless wonder. 010
Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Watched the movie “Hamnet” earlier today. Brilliant, powerful and really great acting. May not be 100% historically accurate - though probably not too far off - but it really doesn’t matter. 000

Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Weekend Oz triumphantly telling us that a “core values pathway” & “one party, two traditions” will save the dog’s breakfast aka the Liberal Party. I have no idea WTF either of these mean, or how such slogans will lead to policies relevant to Australia in the 2020s. I suspect they don’t either. 010

Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 07/09/2025More of the same LNP sloganeering and obfuscation from Sussan Ley on Insiders this morning. Criticises the govt on “immigration” but won’t say which groups of immigrants she’d stop coming. Decries “excessive” govt spending but won’t say what she’d cut. Waste of time. 000

Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 08/07/2025I wish the commentators from the Murdoch - and indeed many other - media outlets would stop all this noise about Albo having to meet Trump. What they really mean is that they want Albo and thus Australia to grovel. The Zelensky White House ambush showed what a great idea that is. 010

Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 13/04/2025Well it’ll surprise no-one that the election campaign has degenerated into duelling bribes and handouts from the LNP & ALP. No plan, no strategy, little thought, just buying votes. Don’t we deserve better than this? 010
Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Just watched probably the worst episode of Q and A that I’ve ever seen. The Liberal and Labor pollies just trotted out their talking points regardless of any relevance to the questions they were asked. When asked any “big picture” questions they ignored them. Pathetic. 010
Tom Gonda @tomgonda.bsky.social · 23/03/2025The LNP costed Labor’s energy plan at $600 bn. On Insiders today shadow treasurer Angus Taylor said their nuclear-driven plan would be 44% less. Asked how much that was, he just repeated “44% less”. Seems he can’t even access a calculator. Doesn’t inspire much confidence in a wanna-be treasurer. 020
