@DrCameronMurray Hi Cameron. As someone that spent my career building the algos and biz models to “engage and monetise attention” I can give you a dozen reasons why social media is harmful. I am not saying a blanket ban is the solution.Comparing social media to terrestrial TV is way off the mark

Australia's social media ban stupidly rolls along. I get that people feel like social media can be problematic for kids. That doesn't mean a national ban is a solution to you specific concern. Has anyone asked exactly what the problem is that this is meant to solve? I grew up in an era when the fear was that kids were watching too much tv and that would give us all square eyes and mushed brains. But it was fine. We evolve social norms to adapt and that is already happening. Schools keep phones out of classrooms. Seems sensible. We will keep adapting. Most youngsters are even moving on from Insta, Facebook, etc and mostly using platforms as group chat tools to coordinate real life activities and share memes and jokes with mates. That all seems good. They use youtube to learn as well as to zone out. abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2…

@senatorbabet Seriously? You idiot.

Happy birthday to President Donald J. Trump - the greatest world leader of my generation. No one even comes close.

Chasing the magic number - when will the AMOC collapse? We know it can collapse. Has collapse many times. And we are moving towards collapse. IPCC puts probability to < 10%. Low? Oh no, For a catastrophic event, this is VERY high. World needs to wake up. insideclimatenews.org/news/09022024/…

The govt collects more money from HECS than it does from the PRRT. Australians are missing out on revenue for public services while fossil fuel companies make record profits. We need to increase the PRRT #auspol @TheAusInstitute

The Amazon rainforest protects all of us - the planetary commons framework offers a new governance systems to protect it and other major Earth systems. We must collectively care and contribute to maintain the planetary commons. context.news/climate-risks/…

Coal, oil and gas companies – including @SantosLtd and @WoodsideEnergy – gave over $1.78 MILLION to Australia's political parties last year. Surprising no-one, these donations occurred right as the government chose to approve new fossil fuel projects. reneweconomy.com.au/millions-in-fo…

In Norway they tax the fossil fuel industry and kids go to university for free. In Australia we subsidise the fossil fuel industry and charge our kids to go to university. We raise more from HECS than petroleum resources rent tax. Richard Denniss #auspol #NPC

@pollyjhemming And me to Polly.

The global food system must change. Just like climate policy requires a focus across the entire value chain for emission reductions, the food industry must do the same. Important global policy report launch with PIK expertise next Monday in Berlin & online.

EY are doing work for the Federal Government on policy to reduce emissions at the same time as they’re doing work for the gas industry on how to have policy that increases emissions 🤔🤯theguardian.com/business/2024/…

Make no mistake. This is “division” by design: the platforms want division. They want outrage. That’s the biz model that engages. this is WaterTok" Has Become The Most Controversial Food Trend Of 2023 ⁦@HumaneTech_⁩ ⁦@TheAusInstitute⁩ buzzfeed.com/rossyoder/wate…

"This is a big win for Santos and the fossil fuel industry, and really a huge loss for the rest of us and planet Earth." Deputy Director Ebony Bennett discussing the recent court case between Santos and Tiwi Island elders over the Barossa gas project #auspol @ebony_bennett

@SophieScamps What is equally sinister is these for profit platforms taking in $$ amplifying civil discord, outrage and disinformation. Now super charged by generative Ai.

More disappointing divisive politicking from the Coalition sadly - again trying to further stoke social disharmony in Australia I guess that’s what you have to resort to when you have no policy agenda We all love Australia #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…
