Govt
⛳️won't tell us if the #SafeguardMechanism is effective
⛳️won't release modelling
⛳️won't provide evidence on emissions reduction
⛳️won't tell us if the Commonwealth will pay the difference btw set price and market price
Yet demands we support it.

The govt refuses to release its modelling on how heavily industry will rely on offsets under the safeguard mechanism. Seems reasonable for @sarahinthesen8 to ask "If the government cannot give us that information...how on earth are we expected to vote in support of this?" #auspol

This is beyond politics. It’s about putting community safety first.
Everyone deserves to feel safe in our community.
That’s why we’ve introduced these new reforms to the Parliament today.

Hey friends, *another* hefty piece for you. This one is a journey down into the guts of Australia's key climate policy from the new Labor gov't.
It is, unfortunately, pretty bad. It mimics the fossil fuel industry's greenwashing tactics wholesale.

Every political journalist in Australia writes with the implicit premise that the ALP is completely captured by fossil fuel interests, but with the explicit premise that the ALP are very sad about this and doing their best and the Greens are bullies for saying it out loud

Australia can’t blow another decade of climate action – it’s up to Labor and the Greens given the Coalition has opted out of a core responsibility of a governing party. Here’s my column theguardian.com/australia-news #auspol

The best thing this Parliament can do to see emissions reduction in Australia is to back the safeguard mechanism. It puts us on a clear path to net zero.

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Safeguard Mechanism (its key policy to reach its 2030 emissions target) - and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

Greens abstain on social housing vote. This is the biggest social housing spend since I was the minister more than a decade ago and the Greens are abstaining. Once again they play the role of wreckers - and make the perfect the enemy of the good.

New analysis shows the huge Scarborough gas project approved by the Morrison Govt will emit 1.37 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases, far more than the 878 million tonnes Woodside claims. This makes a mockery of signing the COP26 agreement & Australians concerns re: global warming

In the last few years, BP, Shell, and ExxonMobil have announced net-zero climate pledges.
They've spent millions of dollars advertising their investments in clean energy.
Last week, all 3 companies changed up those plans and said they are doubling down on fossil fuels.

🇦🇺 plans to spend $420 million over the next 3 years keeping less than 70 people on Nauru.
Our refugee policy has not only been cruel but also very expensive.
We can have a more pragmatic approach that is kinder while also ensuring people don’t die at sea.

Instead of spending another $420 million taxpayer dollars on Nauru, everyone should be evacuated immediately & given medical treatment.
And Nauru should be closed as a processing centre.
A cry for help from Nauru. His name is Tamim, he’s lost 10 years, and he asked to be heard.

If you think Labor hated it when poor people whinged about being ya know hungry..and cold and wet.
You just watch the Labor anger when FN people aren’t sufficiently grateful for their benevolence.
and getting in the way of Albo’s legacy..

George Pell's cadre of high profile admirers is unsurprising. Paedophiles are adept at grooming adults, too. Simpleton egotists like Howard, Abbott & journos would've lapped up his simpering flattery. Pell's agenda to surround and protect himself with powerful supporters worked.

For the record, I also believe the person who testified on oath that George Pell sexually abused him as a child. (As did 12 jurors in a court of law.)

Just in: Tony Abbott has publicly declared that a priest who indisputably enabled multiple paedophiles to sexually abuse small children over a long period of time was "the greatest man [he'd] ever known".
