“In Australia, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.” - Australia Institute co-CEO Richard Denniss.
Add your name to the call and demand the gas industry pays its fair share: https://t.co/XcY8GvAwa8
Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥
Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥
One Nation is Australia’s most prominent far-right political party, led for decades by leader Pauline Hanson. It’s akin to Reform UK and the Republicans under Trump. Think anti-multiculturalism, anti-Islam, pro-Israel and pro US wars, claiming to speak for the forgotten people while being funded by fossil fuel billionaires.
I’m excited to be launching a 3-part podcast series, starring tomorrow, 22 April, in conversation with the brilliant political journalist @AmyRemeikis.
Search for The Antony Loewenstein Podcast.
We go deep. Over 3 episodes. Looking back at One Nation’s beginnings in the late 1990s and the vital role played, then and now, by the mainstream media in boosting Hanson and her ideas.
It’ll be available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple.
This great trailer was made by @lemzakharia and Elizabeth. Series produced by Lena Helou + @lemzakharia.
This is independent journalism and needs your support: https://t.co/JpCylwILpi
New Australia Institute polling shows an overwhelming majority of Australians support a gas export tax. 💸💸
"That gas belongs to all Australians. Companies can export it. They can make a profit. But they should be paying us 25%."

Keating on Hanson - 11 November, 1996
The sting of Keating’s intellect and his ability to define Hanson’s character so succinctly is as true today as it was then.

Took delivery of Amy Remeikis’ long-awaited book today. ‘Where It All Went Wrong - The Case Against John Howard’
A must-read book. If you ever wanted to know why our country is in the mess it now is, look no further than the man who created the housing crisis, work insecurity, climate denialism, the rise of the far right, supercharged racism and fake patriot flag wrapping - not to mention the selling out of future generations for the benefit of buying boomer votes - Jackboot Johnny.
Argue with me at your own peril.
"...The Iranian leadership is less interested in negotiating compromising or capitulating than in doing God’s work to destroy the evil ranged against it. The Quran holds that those who die in a holy war (jihad) gain immediate entrance into paradise..."

A senior Iranian cleric thinks Trump is the Muslim Antichrist. Who is this figure, al-Dajjāl? https://t.co/CZ1eLOjdbS via @ConversationEDU
"...Despite this, the US generally views its conflict with Iran as a matter of politics more than theology..."
#IranIsraelUSAWar#Auspol
"...But Western analysts of this particular war need to realise, for many in Iran, this is not a matter of geopolitics: it’s theopolitics, or the politics of religion..."
