I caught a bit of a radio show today. They were dead wrong about why electricity and energy prices are high and I feel a responsibility to set the record straight.
A very short and digestible thread.
This father who is surrounded happily by his children has been sentenced to death.
His crime is participating in a peaceful protest as was Navid Afkari’s. For Navid the international community acted late. Take an action fir #Abbas_Deris#عباس_دریس
Today, the first day of the #COP26 World Leaders Summit led by UK PM Boris Johnson

I don’t think they understand the magnitude of the problem. A $50b industry dependent on gatherings is shut down. Its workers are largely ineligible for the wage subsidy. And this is the response? Live sector asks for $850m, gets $27m #auspol#arts https://t.co/ZBk3FAAqod
