Policy platform to take down right wing conservatism, and make the world a better place?: 4 day work week.

I have submitted notice to introduce a bill to force gambling companies to return stolen money, that has been lost gambling, to the victims of the crime. It’s way beyond time for the predatory gambling companies to be dragged into line and held accountable. #auspol #politas

<new technology> may produce millions of tonnes of waste by 2030 is my favourite lazy journalist story of 2024.

If Greyhound Racing runs at a loss, and we know punters make a loss, and we know greyhounds suffer terribly - why the bloody hell do we have a greyhound racing industry? 😡

Vance: You know something Donald Trump will never do? Donald Trump will never go out there and say that his fellow citizens should be censored or silenced for disagreeing with them.

I love this story.. sure its slow, but i feel the engineering care involved and the response to market pricing driving technical change is subtle and great to see.. should be celebrated: https://t.co/MpuuvDIUVq

The US election seems to be hanging on a calculation of how lazy young men are when it comes to driving to an unusual place and lining up for a hours.. i think this is something the betting markets are not factoring in

@abcnews Australia imports over 200k cars annually, weighing about a ton each on average (both numbers lowball). Im a fan of recycling locally, but we dont make batteries here, we just ship ore to china, so im not sure why we need to recycle when there is plenty of shipping capacity

[Alastair Cousins @alcousins]

@abcnews How many open cut coal mines does the alp need to approve to bury all of this?

[Alastair Cousins @alcousins]

Shit, 2035! Stop everything now!

Seriously abc, stop parrotting the bullshit fossil fuel industry lines..

10+ years to do something with an easily recyclable material.

[ABC News @abcnews]

Australia's annual lithium-ion battery waste is tipped to hit 137,000 tonnes by 2035, and with 90 per cent of current waste going into landfill or getting stockpiled, there are urgent calls for dedicated recycling facilities. https://t.co/poT4h5iuAw

A week from today my american friends have the opportunity with a single vote to say “fuck you and your racist ass very much” to not only donald trump, but also elon musk.. thats techbro innovation i can get behind.

[Alastair Cousins @alcousins]

The only answer to all this endorsement mess is to tax billionaires so they arent anymore.

[Alastair Cousins @alcousins]

That way every tradie gets a new vehicle as per usual wasteful culture (another battle, lets solve that later) and theres a path to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Win win and kind of the point of being in power is to do something yeah?

[Alastair Cousins @alcousins]

So many stupid oversized american utes appearing all of a sudden. @AlboMP heres a simple policy idea; mandate all commercial vehicles must be electric by ~2030 in order to receive any govt tax benefits, and offer a short term subsidy boost to drive it. #auspol

[Ross Clelland @rnclelland]

Dear outraged bogan conservatives and Channel 7 News:
Given Albo's new purchase of a family home - just out of curiosity, how many houses does Peter Dutton own?
Hint: It's in double figures.

the school lunch stuff in qld is super interesting because it raises a pretty worrying question, why are so many people who use the school system in poverty in an incredibly wealthy country

[Alastair Cousins @alcousins]

Surely this is the line.. cmon america

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump thinks Vladimir Putin is his friend.

What about the American people?
