The bottom 90% got just 7% of economic growth from 2009 to 2019. The top 10% got 93%. Our research shows inequality has been supercharged in the last 20 years, and it will only get worse unless we fix it. A super profits tax is a good start. #auspol

The egg shelf at Coles in Fairfield West. No eggs again. None. What was once cheap protein is becoming expensive and rare as hens teeth. It is nuts. I just want Australia back.

I'm currently in Cardwell, FNQ,No one can get south because of flooding. There are about 70 trucks parked up in the main street, have been for some about 6 days. A lot of them be earning nothing. The locals just told them they've got free food and coffee organised for them.1/2

@RichardYabsley It’s not fake news. You are actually showing on how out of touch you are with the average person. LNP media are good for scams don’t get me wrong but you’ve just shown your dinosaur colours. Out in suburban Melbourne 80-90% of people have been heavily affected in my experience.

@TimBarlow3 Spot on. The difference only needed to be 5-10% and it might be 5 mil for being a woman, 5 mil for being black, and 5 mil for other reasons

@Seantooker2 That is very sad mate. Reminds me of a similar feeling seeing some of the non regeneration around Marysville after the back Saturday fires….

I’m not here to ruin your day although mine was ruined months ago when it all became clear. You need to see this. It’s graphic & difficult to view but this is my home. I never expected this. Just up a country Rd from the river with collapsing trees I stop & weep. #tasmania

Beautiful isn’t it? This is my home valley & all that seems normal isn’t anymore. That big old E,obliqua on the right just expired a month ago. It’s a strange dichotomy of verdant green pastures & surrounding forest collapse. Hard to comprehend but it’s real. #tasmania 🧵

Would rejoice to see some “progressives” on here actually challenge the status quo instead of saying “well houses all cost $1mil+” & “Albo & Jodie have worked hard” & all the rest of the inane, toadying crap that only works to keep shit the way it is.

@YungEnChee1 Totally agree with you. Saving the environment and trying to adapt to climate change shouldn’t be political.

@kcisney Empathy towards pets, food source for another animals….depends on their “use”. I agree 100% with you…greatest showcase of the cognitive dissonance is at a petting farm….come on Johnny pat daisy the cow….go to the tuck shop….you want a hamburger…

Can someone explain to me why it is good to be upset at someone eating a dog or a cat, but not if they are eating a pig or a chicken? I've been trying to find any important differences between those things but have come up empty so far. Anyone?

@colonelhogans @AdamBandt Please - most dead labor leaders would be turning over in their graves for albo’s liberal lite government. Blame starts with the govt, not anyone else.

@RnaudBertrand Another point to remember is how much food is imported into the countries and how much meat does that country eat? My guess is India imports less food and consumes less meat.

This is key to understanding China. It has only 11.6% arable land, concentrated to the East of the Hu line. Which means that it has an enormous density of population for its homegrown food resources: about 12 people per hectare of arable land. For comparison, India - a country with a similar-sized population but 3 times smaller than China - has only 8.9 people per hectare of arable land, meaning that it's actually easier to feed the Indian population than the Chinese population: 26% less mouths to feed for each hectare of arable land. The US is also an interesting comparison: only 2 people per hectare of arable land. France: 3.6 people. Germany: 7 people. Brazil: 2.8 people. This is an interesting question to ask yourself if you're the US for instance with its 2 mouths to feed per hectare of arable land. If its population was multiplied by 6 so that it reached 2 billion people and therefore 12 mouths to feed per hectare of arable land like China, could its current politico-cultural system cope with this? Would its value system be the same with such an emphasis on individual "freedom"? Or would they start to become much more collectivist and organized as a society to make it work? Given that already at 2 people per hectare of arable land there are 44 million people in the US who are food insecure (feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-amer…), I personally don't see how its system could cope with a 6x population increase... This is good illustration of why it's never a good idea to judge other countries and cultures from your own context, you always need to first understand theirs.

There's something so deeply evocative about seeing a wild creature in a wholly artificial environment. Like small acts of resistance to the ongoing sterilisation of our living planet. 🌎

@agvocate_au Actually the reasons not to eat red meat aren’t those ones, doesn’t meant there isn’t good reason to eat less meat in general though.

I joined Fran Kelly on RN this morning to discuss the electoral implications of this week’s resignation of Fatima Payman from the Labor Party. In summary. This is what Labor has to confront. Blaxland - 55% of Labor’s primary is bolstered by Muslim Australians. Watson - 40% of Labor’s primary is bolstered by Muslim Australians. Calwell - 40% of Labor’s primary is bolstered by Muslim Australians. 2022 provided a preview into what a mass defection from this community may look like. At the Victorian State election, suburbs with a significant Muslim Australian population swung heavily against Labor. In Meadow Heights (Calwell), Labor’s primary vote plummeted to just over 30%, reflecting the discontent in communities that felt abandoned and ignored during the lockdowns. Interviews with many voters who turned away from Labor revealed a striking demographic: young, diverse, and angry. Especially women. The events of this week are comparable to attempting to extinguish a bushfire with napalm.

@IrishRainforest As an Australian I can categorically agree with Sean. Parts of SW forests in WA dying to drought. Alpine forests turning into grassland from more frequent bushfires. For some of the trolls on here to say it’s natural and “plant different trees” - we’re talking about ecosystems

If you think mass ecosystem wipe-out isn't real, look at what's happening in Tasmania, where whole forests are rapidly dying off from heat stress + rainfall declines. A glimpse of the future every one of us is facing without a VERY radical shift: total Earth systems collapse.
Sean tooker@Seantooker2

First it was the strange hue of the trees now it’s a real life nightmare. This is very hard to take, it must be shared because none of us can escape this. A catastrophe like we’ve never known is unfolding & exploding at an incredible rate. 🧵 #tasmania
