What if we treated the abject failure of our systems of government as a liberating opportunity to reinvent them?

What if, instead of the end of the world, we made it the end of the world as we know it?

I’m on the blue skies place with the same username (lucky me with a very unusual actual name) and I’m on the elephant place with the same username at aus social.

Please join us over there. This place is a flaming cesspit and I just can’t do it anymore…

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

Oi, you. Yes, you.

You do know how this works, right?

Every post here creates value for the company.

The company is now deliberately seeding and tending fascism.

I’m gobsmacked how many good people are still using this platform as though nothing is happening.

Time to leave.

@rodneyholmes64 Yeah. I can’t do threads. Just can’t. It’s brands and fascism even before it gets started.

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

@timdunlop I just cannot. Sorry. I’m not up for somewhere which starts with everything advertising and brands even before the community appears.

Oh, um, hello. I'm just back here to say DON'T FORGET TO BOOK YOUR TIX TO THE @InstituteGreen CONFERENCE!

6 weeks to go. Keynotes include Mary Graham & @MichelleMaloney, @FemInt & @DSchlosberg

And there'll be awesome panels and workshops announced very soon

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

OK, this place is clearly more of a toxic bin fire than ever. I'm off back the elephant site.

This was such a stimulating conversation with @AnthonyJamesNow for his wonderful #RegenNarration podcast. We talked about community, democracy, changing what’s possible, music and many more ideas emerging from my book, #LivingDemocracy.

Give it a listen:

@DonGilmer @MandatedContent @sarahinthesen8 You’re literally quoting from her speech promoting her bill as, supposedly, a well designed market. Which the Senate Inquiry proved it isn’t. Here’s yet another story showing this was Plibersek’s bill, which she pushed hard and hasn’t given up on, sadly

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

@MandatedContent I mean, for real, if you need to lie, maybe try to lie about something that isn’t stupidly easy to expose.

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

This is a tremendous victory for common sense, for the Greens, and for all the scientists and environmentalists who shone a blazing light on what an appalling wrong move the #NatureRepairMarket was.

Labor’s neoliberal agenda is collapsing.

Maybe they should try governing?

[💚🌏 Sarah Hanson-Young @sarahinthesen8]

Breaking! 🚨The Government’s “Green Wall Street” policy is in tatters.

After a string of expert witnesses today who, like the Greens, raised fundamental concerns with the Nature Repair Market, the Govt has announced it will shelve the bill until at least the end of the year.

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

@MandatedContent This lie is almost worth of Morrison in how easy it is to prove a lie. Blatant bullshit.

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

@HughSaddler @lyrebird1 @MondayStory Oh, I’m terribly sorry to hear this. Hugh was always so generous with his time and ideas. My deepest condolences to your family

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

@DonGilmer @sarahinthesen8 What a ridiculous lie. Almost worthy of Morrison in how stupidly easy it is to show it’s a blatant lie. Labor embraced Littleproud’s bill and have been pushing it hard. In fact, Plibersek is now claiming it hasn’t been shelved, just delayed.

[Christine Milne AO @ChristineMilne]

Excellent news. Govt has announced it will shelve Nature Repair Market Bill until at least end of the year. It needs to be dropped completely because it drives #Ecocide. It is bad policy based on Monetising #Nature. Thanks @YungEnChee1 @EuanRitchie1 @pollyjhemming #auspol

[Max Chandler-Mather @MChandlerMather]

So the federal budget surplus is now $19bn. All the Greens are asking for is $2.5 billion a year for public housing and $1 billion a year to incentivise a freeze and cap on rent increases. The only one standing in the way of solutions to the housing crisis is Labor

If you’re interested and just catching up and keen to understand just how bad this idea was, here’s the report we put out with @InstituteGreen recently:

Congrats and thanks, in particular, to @megcevans @EuanRitchie1 @YungEnChee1 @pollyjhemming @sarahinthesen8 and @ChristineMilne

[timhollo.bsky.social @timhollo]

@RipsAus We wouldn’t. Of course. The market was about extracting more profit while giving it a veneer of pretending to do something
