A survey funded by gas lobby based on dodgy questions is then held up as proof of support for crooked government policy, enriching vested interests at huge public cost. This is exactly how it works šŸ‘‡

'Carbon capture & storage' in any viable (ie real) form is a monster lie pushed for ā€“ literally ā€“ three decades. It's never happened & never will. (Remember the 'clean coal' headlines in the 1990s? That's CCS). It is very helpful for ALP politicians seeking $$, mind you. Broken.

Laborā€™s ā€œFuture Gas Strategyā€ is a future climate disasterā€¦hard to believe in 2024 we still have governments pretending we just need to expand fossil fuel production to ā€œhelp tackle climate changeā€. This is bad science, bad economics and i suspect bad politics

And this is why the ALP is doing it. They know they can get away with it thanks to mountains of misinformation that has been sown into the electorate for years by vested interests, eg gas being 'widely perceived' as 'vital asset' in transition. 'Perceived' is the key part here.

The ALP is openly, aggressively, captured by pretty much all available vested interests, from fossil fuels to finance. And they revel in it. If there's some way they can be captured & corrupted to screw over the public for a bit of $$ ā€“ they want in. They're not even pretending.

Hang. On.
Was this not asked? In a full TV interview?
We might need to draw a line between what is, and what isn't, a journalism outlet.
The failure to publicly delineate is a key tool in the corruption toolkit, allowing protected bad actors to pretend they have fronted 'media'.

Former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg appearing on Sky News tonight in whatā€™s billed as his first major interview post politics. Weā€™re super excited to hear his response re deleting the findings of the investigation into ASIC. Heā€™s been avoiding us for 4 years theklaxon.com.au/asic-findings-ā€¦

It appears the *other* mining company overseen by, erm, 'anti-elite', campaigner Warren Mundine isn't faring so well either.
Still better than Fuse Minerals (whose $10m IPO collapsed and is now effectively worthless, ICYMI: theklaxon.com.au/mundines-10m-mā€¦) but there you go...

A textbook example of the dire need for independents. Monique Ryan runs campaign, gets 288,000 signatures. Albanese takes action. (Then holds it up as major ALP win).

At least some politicians are standing up for the public. Great to see our expose making waves.

If you give a damn about our democracy, support independent media doing the hard yards here šŸ‘‰ theklaxon.com.au/subscribe-suppā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦

We need you.

Monique Ryan gets $3bn of HECS debt wiped.

Her predecessor Josh Frydenberg gave $38bn to businesses that didn't need it. abc.net.au/news/2021-11-0ā€¦

If youā€™ve been dipping in and out of the PwC coverage (like a normal human) now is a perfect time to dip back in (see piece below). With the Government conspiring to get the big $$ flowing again to their PwC masters, weā€™re about to roll out some major exposes. Itā€™s bad.

Nails it. Albanese promised transparency then he delivered a neutered 'anti-corruption' body. His government is even more 'secretive' than the Coalition, one of the most corrupt governments in our history. There must be many saddened ALP supporters out there (or former ones)...
