Thank you Alison @ak_pennington for your book & research rich analysis of difficulties facing young people who are copping it in the kneck from all directions. Too long have governments, business & wealthy feasted on our labour, then boldly blame us for being poor. #auspol
In world first, EU strikes deal to impose carbon border taxes on imports of polluting goods
This is big and will accelerate decarbonization: industries everywhere will need to be powered with green electrons to export competitively to the EU

Friendly Jordies exposes destruction of koala habitat near #CoffsHarbour by Forestry Corp NSW. @nswenviromedia know this is happening and refuse to investigate or act. Let @Matt_KeanMP know this isn't good enough.

La libertad de expresión no puede ser objeto de persecución. Nuestra Ciudad siempre será solidaria y los recibirá con puertas abiertas. Hoy refrendamos nuestro apoyo total a Julian Assange y su familia.
I'm a community mental health worker #Unionthug, and proud. I also have cystic fibrosis and currently in hospital. Making me the worst of all - a union thug and strain on the public purse. @PeterDutton_MP & @LiberalAus must really hate me.
LNP: Determined to be Irrelevant
We eradicated smallpox with compulsory smallpox vaccinations.
Seatbelts have to be worn in moving cars.
Should "wearing seatbelts" be a choice, or compulsory?
Fantastic point.
If the pandemic was killing the healthy, wealthy and powerful, instead of the sick, old and disabled, the government would have all wearing space suits.

Just wandering why @abcnews journalists use #LNP slurs for #Labor policies, projects. E.g. @samanthahawley calling the #JobsSummit2022 a "talk fest", not even the usual qualifying:'that some are calling a.....' Quite blatant and obvious. Very dissapointing!
@auspol
The pandemic exposed what little regard healthy & privileged have towards the sick, disabled, aged & poor. Less mask wearing will impact those with the least, while those with the most (health, wealth, social mobility) are empowered to spread more #COVID19. #discrimination
💥australia’s emissions are up!💥
all the progress we’re making with renewables is being undone by increased fossil fuel use & extraction.
unsurprising as we have no real policy to address it.
h/t @timinclimate for detailed sectoral analysis, on the day the data was released!
'The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (@IBAHRI) condemns the reported mistreatment of Julian Assange, & urges the government of the United Kingdom to take action to protect him.'

Read the papers @D_LittleproudMP … I have been having constructive talks with the gas companies for days & I have engaged with them for many years.
Stop telling lies & accept responsibility for the energy mess you created.

Working in public health, I’m trained to see population-level effects. It’s my job to convince you that wellness of the group as a whole matters personally to you because it’s a continuum with every group member. In a world focused on individualism, this is sometimes not easy.
@LesStonehouse Maybe the likes of Andrew Probyn and Brett Worthington would be wise to start digging around on those issues, instead of conflating stories and criticisms of Labor’s gender equity. #ThisIsNotJournalism
