An ARC grant on the merits of WA no longer being part of the federation

hahahahaha this sucks man

Being pushed around by the Japanese gas corps and govt in the basis of a lie about what they do with our gas is a good thing apparently.

AFR thinks Japanese onselling Aust gas for a profit is more important than Aust domestic situation. Truly amazing.

Evidence is mounting that our largest gas export market, Japan, does not need 🇦🇺 gas for energy security.

Instead, it's using 🇦🇺 gas to achieve regional influence, and potentially profit from on-selling to other countries.

We need transparency on this.

Strong call by Marion Scrymgour MP to Tanya Plibersek to 'apply the water trigger' to gas fracking projects proposed for the Beetaloo Basin. #auspol

the age accidentally publishing something that will be studied by future generations

The Coalition puts out an energy policy and yet Brian Fisher is silent. There is aa disturbance in the force.

I'm wondering what CIS Chief Economist Peter Tulip thinks about the uncosted proposal for big state central planning for nuclear power stations?

C. S. Lewis, just to remind you what's important this weekend

One good thing that could come out of this nuke farce is free market ideologues going all in on big state central planning. The fallout, may it last a generation.

Peter Dutton used a Rolls Royce SMR concept image in his nuclear brain fart announcement.

I guess he didn’t see this article from April 👇😂

Today we launched a new Drilled series! For the rest of the summer we’ll be putting out stories and podcast episodes focused on false solutions—technology and ideas the industry knows are suspect at best but is pushing anyway. drilled.media/investigations…

Gas shortage? lol no.

More gas is used just to convert gas to LNG to be exported than is used by the entirety of Australia's manufacturing sector

Sure you know about ScoMo's gas fired recovery and Albo's Future Gas Strategy,

but the NT govt Blacktip fuck up actually happened and is the gas subsidy of the discerning gentleperson.
