Palestinian leadership has once again made a decision that will IN NO WAY improve the lives of their people. There is NO POSITIVE outcome for them here (except to personally bolster their chances to stay in power). They have hurt their cause(s) and increased the suffering in Gaza
In 1985, before it was bombed and sunk in Auckland harbour, The Rainbow Warrior was in the Marshall Islands helping the people of Rongelap Atoll evacuate their home…
All six episodes of The Last Voyage of the Rainbow Warrior are now available here:

Yikes. I and other economists have been warning that soaring federal debt will risk "fiscal dominance" - Pressuring the Fed to keep interest rates artificially low to minimize the interest costs on the federal debt. It also means sustained inflation and paralyzed monetary policy.
There’s a simple reform the federal government could introduce to bring house prices down.
Directing APRA to force banks to limit loans given to investors would make it easier for people to buy a house they actually want to live in.

Joining @TheDailyShow is @carolecadwalla, a journalist speaking on Palantir and what the tech bros are doing with the data that has been taken from the government. It is terrifying that this is now our country, watch every minute. #DemsUnited
This is true. And even if you think this ISN’T the particular problem your city has, it’s always a safe bet that adding more car lanes still won’t solve whatever you think your problem is.
Good on us, we made the world news.
And rightly so, because what we do impacts everyone.
We told our Pacific neighbours, to their faces, we’d heard them. That we’d change.
Our kids, we’d save them.
Indigenous Australia, we’ll do better.
And yet, here we are.
Disgraceful.
Is this the same Woodside that was responsible for a spill of 64,000 litres of contaminated water, hydrocarbons and chemicals north of Ningaloo this week?
Good PR distraction work tho.

Japanese companies made $1 BILLION...CLEAR PROFIT, by on-selling Australian gas last year.
We are being taken for mugs by Big Gas and it's time for the Aus Gov to do something about it.
"The ACCC suggested that around 42% of green claims are greenwash. The Aus Govt in promoting these businesses as climate leaders is facilitating this greenwash."
In 2023, we referred the Govt’s ‘carbon neutral’ certification scheme Climate Active to the ACCC over greenwashing ⤵️
The North West shelf decision will be the Govs first test on climate: will they approve the dirty gas carbon bomb of Woodside’s Burrup Hub extension? You can’t protect the climate or nature by approving a project that would use 91% of the government’s net zero 2050 carbon budget.
The news today that EnergyAustralia had admitted that offsets are the wrong way to go is a win that has been a long time coming.
In 2023 at our #ClimateIntegrity Summit, Allan Fels, fmr Chair of the ACCC, explained there are 'net-zero' gas companies, certified by Climate Active.
Huge news: Today, EnergyAustralia has been forced to admit what Australia Institute research has long shown; Carbon offsets are a sham and do nothing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Last year, Polly explained how Climate Active, is making it easier to greenwash than to not.
You can’t lie when you sell someone a chicken, but it’s legal to lie in political advertising in Australia.
The deliberate spread of misinformation by parties and other groups was a prominent feature of the recent election.
We have to fix this problem in the 48th Parliament.
How could it be otherwise? That peoples possessed a land for 60 millennia and this sacred link disappears from world history in merely the last 200 years? #auspol#firstnations
