My piece in the @GuardianAus today arguing govts can't afford to repeat the mistakes they made with the gas industry.

With huge investment in data centres - why aren't we asking what this is all for and how Australians are going to benefit from it?

If we do want data centres and multinational tech giants are going to use Australian land, Australian energy, Australian water & Australian workers to build the infrastructure that powers the AI revolution, then Australians deserve a fair return.

That's the lesson we failed to learn with gas. We shouldn't wait another generation to learn it again.

@BrentHodgson @RonniSalt Being close to Trump has increased Gina’s appetite so a perfect match for ON, which will go further Right, faster than the Libs. As they showed with the NRA.

I do wonder where the Lib warchest will end up.

@Mon4Kooyong Husic seems to be the only Labor person left with a brain. Good to see the old guard like Peter Garrett stepping up.

It’s a lousy deal, we don’t want their troops or violence and we don’t want their ☢️ waste.

@igrand5 @kissmyassburger The article linked above describes a planned change from deposit (rarely forfeited, and rubbish was mostly removed from lower camps) to a fee to fund removal and monitoring higher up.

Peter Garrett inquiry into #Aukus: should have been done by parliament but Libs bowed to Morrison’s folly and Labor was paralysed by the wedge. Now it’s DIY. 👏

This is how the duopoly lost votes: looking after themselves instead of doing the job. https://t.co/8L7uWWVHhw

@kissmyassburger @volcaholic1 Thanks. Seems they have tweaked efforts, from deposit to outright fee with monitoring so that sounds good. But more to do. For others interested: https://t.co/cBk3uXVejX

@chaser @CrankInstitute Still $368b though.

@strangerous10 @SkyNewsAust Gina has collected so many … Dutts, Barnaby (the enormous cheque), Timmy from the IPA who’s here to help you, and now ON. Wish someone would ask for her policy agenda, or do we just assume Project 25 and the Heritage Foundation? Something Sky could look into, if not for Fox.

[quaddess 🚴‍♀️🌏🦘 @quaddess]

@JmarrMarr And energy, environment and tax policy written by Gina and co.

[quaddess 🚴‍♀️🌏🦘 @quaddess]

@ItsBouquet Time for the gallery to ask her some economic questions then. Who would be her Treasurer? Barnaby? And old Crazy Eyes SovCit as AG?

@ProCyclingStats @lorenawiebes Escape reported Janssen saying the second weight was taken by the team. If that’s the case, not sure it’s drift. Still, procedure info would be nice.

The climate deniers like LNP and ON, and backsliders like #BHP, might need an alternative to ‘but China’ soon, if 🇨🇳 keeps this up. Emissions cut equal to Germany’s emissions.

Puts the fossil fuel-led Oz climate debate 🙄 into perspective. #auspol26

[Lauri Myllyvirta @laurimyllyvirta]

New from me: China made a dramatic change to its carbon emissions numbers in the 15th five-year plan, erasing half of the previously reported emissions growth from 2020 to 2025. In absolute terms, the change is equal to the total emissions of Germany or South Korea.

@DavidShoebridge @CrankInstitute And boot out the troops. Instant housing vacancies.

[quaddess 🚴‍♀️🌏🦘 @quaddess]

@strangerous10 The SES pay scale is based in part on seniority to take responsibility. Not the right to screw up and keep your job. The Minister should sack them, or take responsibility in their place. It really is outrageous that this rubbish continues.

[NOT a Canberra Bubbler 🌲🌏🌲 @MSMWatchdog2013]

High Court judge reveals that the Samuel Griffiths Society is trying to stack Aust courts with right-wing extremist judges in an attempt to mimic Trump's Supreme Court

Guess who else is involved?

1. Janet Albrechtsen
2. Amanda Stoker
3. IPA
4. Etc...

TLDR: rich kid chums of Rinehart puppet Tim Wilson deceive voters to keep elite tax perks for people like … Rinehart. #auspol #budget2026 #AIAlbo https://t.co/pknCcb0Io4

@Mon4Kooyong Saw this at the library today and thought, in #kooyong, not likely! 🤣

[quaddess 🚴‍♀️🌏🦘 @quaddess]

@NooNarNay @RonniSalt @MFWitches @MurrayWatt Like the Kilmany squattocracy and even Peter Nixon before that.

@Beng37525Rr @Melbourne_says Nonsense. She has banned ABC from party events and refused interviews for years!
