@bvst7dxxpk @dodona777 #MMT explains how fed govt spending on welfare - & everything else - results in the creation of brand new $$$. And tax $$$ paid to the govt are destroyed. As the monopoly issuer of Australian $$$ our govt has no financial constraints. It is only a matter of political priorities.

This moment passed without fanfare.

A new peak for renewable energy generation happened on Tuesday when 73.87% of our electricity nationwide was delivered by renewables.

2 things are true.

1) This record will soon be broken again.
2) It will weirdly upset people.

Probably worth bumping this clip to the top of public awareness at this time.

Imagine if a journalist asked the Australian Government why it is giving 40 years of gas to multinational tax cheat Shell … for goddam free!

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

Just as everyone was knocking off for Xmas, the Australian Government approved a massive new gas field that will provide free gas to notorious tax cheats Shell, and add half a BILLION tonnes of emissions to our atmosphere. 🧵👇1/5

"Across the board, we found almost no effect of government spending on inflation. For example, in our benchmark specification, we found that a 10 percent increase in government spending led to an 8 basis point *decline* in inflation." https://t.co/ccHPBzuhNU #ejmr #econtwitter

This is huge. This is absolutely monumental. We just shut down an event honoring Exxon CEO Darren Woods. The whole room fled. We showed up & prevented this monster from uttering a word. We will resist him with all we've got. There is no choice.

Governments under #capitalism immiserate workers through #austerity, keeping us desperate & dependent on a wage that profits the 1%. #UniversalBasicServices would break this model & set the #workingclass free. @jasonhickel

The gas lobby called for more public subsidies at its annual shindig this week (APPEA, representing Australia's most profitable sector) but why have their own financial reports disappeared? #whatsthescam

[Real Progressives @RealProgressUS]

@ninaturner I agree w/ the intent of this Tweet but taxes do NOT fund spending on the federal level. It's critical that we refrain from using the "taxpayer $s" framing otherwise we are playing into the hands of the folks who will fight us tooth & nail from making these things a reality.

[Market Forces @market_forces]

The complaints outline that Indigenous peoples have deep spiritual connections to the Tiwi Islands and Larrakia country, and the Santos project would disrupt their songlines, sacred sites and cultural practices.

[Market Forces @market_forces]

We stand with Tiwi Island and Larrakia Traditional Owners who have lodged grievances against @ANZ_AU, @NAB, @Westpac, @CommBank and international banks for human rights violations by financing the dirty $4.7 billion @SantosLtd gas project.
