Repeat after me: 👏STOCKS👏 NOT 👏FLOWS👏

At this point, with expanding gas production and methane forcing, 'net zero by 2050' has lost all meaing.

Always worth asking people what their idea of 'net' is too. Santos wants that residual to be biiiiiiiig!

Unpopular opinion - the Gillard Govt was productive in parliament because it was in a ‘minority’. The numbers in the Lower House meant ALP had to negotiate with Greens to get a bill through the House…& in turn that Legislation passed the Senate #auspol australiainstitute.org.au/post/why-minor…

Does this keep you up at night?

First question on tonight's #qanda : Is it fair that some people own multiple homes while some have nowhere to sleep?

Andrew Bragg/Leigh: We need more supply!

That does not answer the question.

A bad time for a landlord means they may have to sell their extra properties. A bad time for a renter is homelessness. These are not the same thing, and housing policy in this country should not be treating these two outcomes as the same.

“There is no scenario in which everything turns out “just fine.””

This is the stuff that keeps me up at night. We’re in so much trouble.

A coal company boosting nuclear - in case you needed even clearer evidence of who gains from the Coalition's latest bait and switch.

Open access publication in Nature costs ~AU$19,000🤯

Academic publishers have profiteered from the exploitation of academics & public research funding for far too long.

My thoughts on how to begin dismantling publishers' stronghold over academia👇

Here’s me, on the Trump/Rudd nonsense.

Here is the income you need to buy a house & avoid housing stress in Aus cities:

Brisbane $178k
Sydney $293k
Melbourne $189k
Adelaide $163k
Hobart $148k
Perth $140k
Darwin $124k
Canberra $205k

Buying a house has become an impossible dream for far too many, but we can fix it 👇

Very strong acronym game from Matt Ryan

Do you think the approval process for new offshore gas projects should be *easier*, in the middle of the climate crisis?

Santos does. And apparently Madeleine King MP does as well.

Proud to represent Australia Institute alongside Mark Ogge at Parliament today, calling out madness

This year is looking like the first and only anniversary of AUKUS.

With the US budget making enough for US needs but no one else, more below.👇

“It must be very clear that neutrality, that lack of information, not acting in support of Julian means complicity in crimes against humanity.”

The political establishment will tell you it's entirely possible to spend over $300 billion on nuclear submarines, but completely impossible for the government to build good quality homes and sell them for below market prices - even tho Australia used to do just that.

After about an hour of listening to the head of the property industry argue for more of the same when it comes to tackling the housing crisis, I couldn’t help but let my frustration boil over. I know many of us - the millions of Australians who rent - are feeling this same way.

Under Peter Dutton the Liberals lost the once safe set of Aston and now tonight failed to win back the once Liberal outer suburban seat of Dunkley…if Dutton can’t win Teal seats back or win seats like Dunkley off ALP…they can’t win government. Just sayin #auspol #Dunkley

Libs had everything in their favour in Dunkley:
- Donkey vote
- High profile local candidate
- Cost of living crisis
- Advance spending $400k to shitcan Labor
- Mid-term blues
Still couldn’t come close to winning in the kind of outer suburban area Dutton is banking on.

Despite the big spending by Advance, the ‘right wing Getup’, there was no swing to the right in #Dunkley
One Nation & United Australia didn’t run today. At the last election their combined vote was 7.7% & tonight the swing to the Libs was 7.2%. Ouch! What a waste of $350k #auspol

Coalition MPs spent $135K of taxpayer funded entitlements to a consulting firm advising on 'no' campaign messaging during the referendum - but there was no way to know this was happening.
