This guy should be an educator. The visual learning method does not disappoint.

Have a 👀 at the gas industry ripping into SW QLD in a big way, country is being pushed over to make way for pipelines & wellpads, most of the gas is for export. Help me get this out, it needs attention, no ones knows about the scope of these works

Greg explains the problem with negative gearing in 60 seconds:

"It is a tax minimisation scheme disguised as a housing policy, most of the benefits go to the wealthiest and it massively distorts housing prices."

This is from 2014. Exactly ten years ago.

The gas industry cries 'crisis' 'shortage' literally every time it wants something.

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

A thread about my favorite story from running OMCB....

[Greg Jericho @GrogsGamut]

Every journalist who writes or says "baseload power" needs to explain why we should want power plants that are not able to be easily turned off and so are run all the time even when we don't even need the electricity?

And then they should read this

this got talked about a lot when I worked on google maps.

I would personally love this feature, and it’s technically feasible.

here’s why I fought it loudly every time it came up

20 years ago there was no frigatebirds nesting on mainland Ascension, this was today.
The feral cat eradication on Ascension is a huge conservation success and this is the evidence! #Seabirds

Hate to break it to you, dude, but a Big Mac costs $5.07 in Australia - 62 cents cheaper than it costs in the United States - while every McDonald’s worker in Australia is entitled to a minimum wage of $15.89 an hour and health insurance under its Medicare for All system.

Rishi Sunak, you shirked D-Day, but you won’t be able to avoid B-Day. Time to take out the trash. It’s on.

Gas sold overseas from 6 of our 10 LNG export facilities pay no royalties to state or federal governments, amounting to $13.3 billion in foregone revenue over the past 4 years. The gas cartel are laughing (at us) all the way to the bank. #auspol https://t.co/Le1GK5pJYw

Gas companies like to say their taxes pay for teachers… and yet teachers actually pay twice as much tax as do the gas companies….

Coming into Canberra airport today I noticed billboard ad.

Really makes you think, doesn’t it.

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Australia’s teachers pay more tax than the oil and gas industry does.

The oil and gas industry loves to tell Australians that they pay a lot of tax, but the evidence says otherwise.

London’s new Elizabeth line moves almost twice as many people per day as the 28-lane Katy Freeway in Houston

highways are simply not an efficient way to move a lot of people in an urban area

Just got an email from The Telegraph…

Asking me how I will shift my ‘output/business model’ when the Tories lose power

My response:

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

I'm staggered by the gall of these foreign owned gas corporates INPEX and Chevron lecturing Australians.

Both get ALL the gas they export (that belongs to Australians)-FOR FREE!

Neither pay PRRT despite making massive windfall profits selling our gas.
