Hey @HP why has the Bios update on my HP laptop so far taken over two hours with a black screen and the fan whirring continuously? It’s a work day and I can’t work. Zero warning about how long it might take. Zero information about how long to go. Not happy.
You seriously can't make this stuff up! 3 top Labor ministers responsible for making the RULES for mining companies literally went to WORK directly for them just weeks after leaving government. If you can't call this bare faced flat out corruption, what can you call it? #Auspol
@BarbaraPocock Which is not actually that much is it? Like, turning off the new fossil fuel project approval tap isn’t going to decimate everybody’s super, is it?

@BarbaraPocock The crazy thing is that fossil resources have been some of the worst performing stocks in the ASX over the long term. The fossil dominated energy index, XEJ, represented over 4.5% of the ASX (by market cap) only a couple of years ago. Currently it’s sitting around 3%.
@ProfTerryHughes What’s always missing is any analysis around the pipeline of committed gas production vs how much is actually needed to achieve a “just transition” given a variety of policy scenarios. Australia is awash with gas for decades.
📢UN to 198 countries of the world: Your new national climate plans, due by Feb 2025, "will be among the most important policy documents produced this century"📢
What are the odds that anyone outside climate policy world has heard about this…?

Where is this focus in Australia media, #auspol? National Climate Plans due by Feb 2025. Australia plan very clear. More coal and gas exports, more fracking, more native forest logging, more BAU excused by increase in renewables and some koala photos.
The framing of a proposed climate trigger in the media is shocking. Every major scientific body says no new coal or gas, bc the climate is already breaking down (floods, record temps, fires etc), yet the Australian media continues to act as if the whole issue is abt the Greens.
I can't believe this is real. Australia's largest fossil fuel company @WoodsideEnergy wants to build a massive new gas field in endangered whale habitat & this is how our public broadcaster reports it?!
As a former @abcnews journo I'm just aghast. What the hell has happened to our ABC? https://t.co/xcZSOzDbSc
❌Mt Pleasant👇🏼??? Destruction of farm land by fossil fuels not in the marketing material or brochures of MPs that keep supporting fossil fuels and block transition to renewables! #auspol
