I want Labor to succeed at being Not-Shit, but it's clear we're dealing with a captured government here. It's own pledges to nature and the science have been drowned out by special interests. Our govt needs help: let's give them a stronger crossbench at the coming election? ❤️‍🩹

Australian collects more money from young people repaying HECS than from the Petroleum Resource Rent tax (PRRT). Today’s announcement is obviously better than nothing, but it wont reduce the HECS repayments of those struggling with high rents and low wages #auspol #insiders

A bit of a reminder about why those in colleges/universities are protesting

Claims of a gas shortage in WA are a joke, writes Mark Ogge in WAtoday this week.

In reality, 90% of WA gas is exported, mostly royalty-free.

If it was a country, WA would be the world's 3rd-largest LNG exporter, behind Qatar & the USA. #auspol #wapol
