Lockdown tulips anyone?
Great foresight back in May.

Around 70% of the electricity powering Christmas lunches across Australia today came from renewables.

It kept fridges cool, stoves hot, and ovens roasting.

A festive feast powered by clean energy!

Billionaires in the U.S. are .0005% of the population, yet accounted for 18% of 2024 electoral spending.

Just 150 billionaire families spent nearly $2 billion.

This is not democracy. It is oligarchy.

Time to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

[Andrew Wilkie MP @WilkieMP]

The Electoral Reform Bill should be renamed the Funnelling Public Money to the Major Parties Under the Guise of Transparency Bill 2024. The major parties have the gall to push this reform, so they should stand up and call it for what it is. #politas #auspol

Politicians who got higher education for free should be fighting for bold reforms to make it free for today’s students too! 🎓 The current debt relief “tweaks” aren’t enough – we need free education and full debt cancellation NOW. #CancelStudentDebt #auspol

"I do not see this debate as a binary choice between improving palliative care or assisted dying. Rather, they should be considered as a range of choices available to patients at the terminal phase of their lives." #AssistedDying @DrNShastriHurst

Former prime minister Julia Gillard is right again on institutional child abuse. The recent High Court decision that says priests aren’t employees - therefore churches aren’t liable for their abuse - needs to be overturned by legislation. Quickly. https://t.co/WCj9VWGtRL

.@Richard_D_Boyle didn’t embezzle funds, compromise national security, or engage in malfeasance. His ‘crime’ was blowing the whistle on unethical and egregious ATO practices. He’s being prosecuted under broken laws while @MarkDreyfusKCMP sits idle. #auspol https://t.co/MIcE6OCFvm

This is a staggering statistic

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

We’re already sending $9B to the US & UK to expand their shipyards, but a new secret #AUKUS ‘cost sharing principles’ agreement suggests even more will be sent. And we’ve finding out about it from a US Govt #FOI, not from our own Govt 🤷‍♂️. #auspol https://t.co/SpPrnfKr2G

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.

Neither do you.

Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Why don't we discuss the fact that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Larry Ellison own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans?

Part of the answer is that the people who own the media are doing phenomenally well. They aren't interested in highlighting massive levels of inequality.

The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre @ASRC1 was robbed again last night. That’s twice in two days. I’m trying my best to still hold onto my compassion.

What matters is everyone is safe, everything else can be replaced.

PJ Keating on @AlboMP's surrender of Australian sovereignty and risk of Australia going to war with China: "the public wants no part of it and provides no authority for it".

We should focus on our defence and always make own strategic decisions. #auspol https://t.co/qkzATiUviA
