@JimScuba2386 @JohnTrovato55 @IowaTesla A capable person can be distracted/impaired in many ways. Many thousands of families have lost a member due to a simple mistake. Also not about personal capability when another driver makes the mistake.

@AustralianLabor you know legislation would be popular in #Australia right now?
Truth in advertising laws to cover all political advertising.
And throwing in disclosure laws as well. I have to disclose and dealings in my YouTube vids, why not political ads? #auspol

Imagine if you asked a realestate agent to sell your house, and instead of getting a good price for you, they gave it to their mate for free!

You’d be furious

Well, that’s exactly what the Australian Government is doing with your gas resources.

Isn’t it absurd that Annika Wells says her govt wants to protect children with their social media ban, yet won’t ban gambling ads being served to those same children?

Speak to most Australians and they'll tell you you can't leave the city in a Tesla and you need a "4x4 with all terrain tyres" and a lift kit, yet here's Harald, 12x around Australia, and this time 100% on FSD in his Model YL in 10 days! 😎⚡

Labor needs to close the loopholes that allow the Big 4 to behave like marauding cowboys. They must be taxed, face the same transparency obligations as other big firms & banned from political donations, & we need an authority that actually supports & protects whistleblowers.

893km (555mil) in a single stop on rough outback roads. The range on the 6-seater Model Y L is very impressive, especially on rough remote Australian roads.

Electrification isn't just an energy transition.

It's a transfer of power from fuel exporters to technology manufacturers, and a pathway to greater energy autonomy, sovereignty and independence.

Unlike something like nuclear, it doesn't inherently favour wealthy nations. The cost curves are falling so fast that everyone can play.

Reminds me of football. The world's most popular sport isn't dominated by the richest countries. The barriers to entry are low, so everyone gets a shot.

@SistaRuthDOPD @JayneEyredsl It was your OP = your job to explain how decades old data is still relevant. Where is the connection between the study and recent legislation and abortion moves??????

[Adele Craven 🌏 🇦🇺⚡️ @CyclAdeleC]

@SistaRuthDOPD @JayneEyredsl Why not the slightest mention that “This article investigates
the term reproductive coercion as part of a history of domestic
violence in Australia in the period 1914–1969” Not this century! Anything more current?

From “One Nation Decoded” on Facebook. Give them a follow. 👇🏻

“I went through Pauline Hanson’s full National Press Club speech.

Not a clip.

Not a headline.

The whole thing.

And the numbers are wild.

Out of around 86 checkable claims, I counted:

12 outright false claims.

43 misleading, cherry-picked or unsupported claims.

58 slogans, attack lines or loaded catchphrases.

17 things that just didn’t logically make sense.

That means the speech was not some brave truth-telling moment.

It was a misinformation machine with a microphone.

The scariest part is how polished it all sounds when it’s delivered confidently.

Big numbers.

Big claims.

Big outrage.

But when you actually stop and check it, so much of it falls apart.

The 130,000 “sleeping rough” claim was wrong.

The $200 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation claim was wrong.

The overseas-born comparison with America was apples-to-oranges.

The climate change “hoax” line was straight-up nonsense.

The capital gains tax section was dressed up like young renters should be crying for young property flippers.

This is the trick.

Say enough things quickly.

Sound angry enough.

Blame enough groups.

Wrap it all in flags, slogans and “common sense”.

Then hope nobody checks the details.

Well, I checked.

And what I found was not leadership.

It was grievance politics running on dodgy numbers, culture war panic and emotional shortcuts.

Australians deserve better than a speech where the slogans do more work than the facts”

Brilliant piece from Pearls and Irritations. Finally, someone in Australia is saying out loud what the rest of us have been watching for the past five years

Let's be clear about what AUKUS actually is: the greatest military protection racket in modern history. Washington looked at its own crippled submarine industrial base—17 boats short, yards choking, Congress screaming—and found the perfect mark. A wealthy, eager, insecure middle power with a bipartisan fetish for great-power relevance and a defense minister who treats strategic questions like a classified state secret

The deal? Australia pays half a trillion dollars. In return, it gets used Virginia-class hand-me-downs—Block IV boats with a decade of wear already on the hulls, probably smelling faintly of its previous crew

Even more intriguing, the article confirms for what this overpriced second-hand Australian "sovereign" nuclear submarine fleet is actually for:

Hunting Chinese Jin-class and Type 096 SSBNs. Not to protect Sydney Harbour. Not to secure Australia's trade routes. To find, track, and if ordered, destroy the Chinese nuclear submarines that threaten continental America!

That's the job. That's the whole job. Australia just committed A$368 billion to be the US Navy's underwater security guard!

The comedy of "sovereign capability" is almost too rich. Sovereign? The reactors are American. The combat system is American. The weapons are American. The fuel is American. The intelligence feed is American. The maintenance schedule is American. Permanently tethering Australia to U.S. software, maintenance, and logistics, effectively ending any "sovereign" capability. The only thing Australian is the taxpayer—and the Prime Minister standing in front of a camera calling this independence

Australia is not buying a submarine; it is buying a node in a U.S. sensor network. The acquisition deeply integrates Australia into the U.S. military command structure, making Australia a tool for U.S. strategic objectives in the Indo-Pacific — while a massive amount of Australian wealth is transferred into the U.S. military-industrial complex

And the timing is exquisite. Washington just added another half-trillion to its own defense budget while Australia is told to hit 3.5% of GDP. America gets the money, the boats, the basing rights at HMAS Stirling, and a Pacific ASW auxiliary. Australia gets the bill, the dependency, and the warm fuzzy feeling of being taken seriously by the adults.

The U.S. 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) emphasizes "burden-sharing among allies" and "realist diplomacy." This submarine deal is the perfect execution of that strategy: the U.S. maintains its military overmatch against China by essentially "outsourcing" the financial cost of undersea surveillance to Australia 🤡

Paul Keating called this three years ago. He was mocked, of course. The press club gasped. The security establishment rolled its eyes. But he was right then, and this article proves he's right now. It is worse than he thought. It's not that AUKUS is of little military benefit to Australia. It's that AUKUS is of negative military benefit to Australia—actively diverting resources from actual defense needs toward a capability designed for someone else's homeland

@BenWill8254 @KatyKray73 Autonomous EV are already in 🇦🇺

When regulations allow unsupervised autonomy - from 2027 - the need to own a car greatly reduces.

Not needing to own a car = no need to buy one - ICEV or EV - well before 2035.

If you do want to own a car electric will be the only option

[Adele Craven 🌏 🇦🇺⚡️ @CyclAdeleC]

@ausgov How would the figures change without thousands of electric vehicles?

[Adele Craven 🌏 🇦🇺⚡️ @CyclAdeleC]

@MrRCThomas @KatyKray73 LOL indeed - very well documented EVs are way more efficient
Electric motors have been powering transport and industry for decades. New battery chemistries have supported billions of electric miles in the last decade
EVS do (re)generate power

Time to catch up
