He did make a valid point about commitment to science not being universal in the Aus parliament though. Imagine the orange cooker party in charge of science. 😱 #npc

Two excellent questions about corporate handouts for r&d when the startup is owned by tiny outfits like Rio Tinto (and Gina-related companies previously) because industry has government over a jobs barrel. Neither one answered by Tim Ayres. #npc

@HonTonyAbbott Go and fight your religious crusades on choice of alien entity on your own time and dime.

Under AUKUS, Australian sailors are embedded on US submarines to learn how to crew nuclear-powered subs. So when the USS Charlotte torpedoed an Iranian frigate, you'd expect our personnel to be at their stations. Instead, our government ordered them to their bunks. Our people were little more than submarine tourists.
This government suffers from a kind of practical pacifism, where the only circumstances our armed forces might conceivably be permitted to fire a shot in anger is at an enemy actually bombing Darwin.
At some point, the US president who's supposed to give Australia up to five Virginia class nuclear powered submarines is going to ask why he should divert firepower to a country that won't use it. Could a country that benches personnel already embarked on a US sub ever be trusted to be at America's side when it really counts?

@JEChalmers this would be an excellent time to repair the budget. Getting rid of AUKUS and US troops saves $360 billion and opens up thousands of homes for Aussies. #auspol2026

Trump: "Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Only a small fraction of greenhouse gases is needed to create most of the greenhouse effect, because these gases absorb specific wavelengths of the heat the Earth emits, states PIK scientist @rahmstorf in new explainer on climate change myths👇Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=0mla1i…

Shorter Barnaby: you have to contribute to intl efforts you benefit from (except climate), go forth and panic buy, govt should ration and open fuel refineries (in communist tradition), Koran bad for murdering people (bible presumably ok), racism ok if single mum. #insiders

@dieworkwear It also says a lot about the discomfort and impracticality of most womenswear, especially business clothes (no pockets!).
English
interesting to me that polo shirts are rooted in sport (polo, tennis, and golf) but seen are more respectable and even quasi-business attire simply bc upper class white men played these sports. football jerseys, basketball shorts, and women's athleisure are seen differently
Gad Saad@GadSaad
Why do women no longer wear any real clothes and instead are always in athleisure? It’s grotesque. Every single woman at the cafe is dressed in this manner.

@DougCameron51 @strangerous10 I wish @AustralianLabor would explain sovereignty to him. Between this, AUKUS and the bases, Albo just fritters it away.

We were told Herzog was here on a “pastoral” visit.
Why was a foreign head of a state that illegally forged Australian passports given privileged access to Australia’s security agency?
Who authorised the meeting ?
Why was the meeting kept secret from the public?

This continues to be shameful: subsidising the climate polluters. Fuel tax credits cost us nearly $11b a year and the duopoly stop it. That’s a hulluva return dor inviting @AlboMP to dinner with Woodside. theguardian.com/environment/co…

@AlboMP, don’t play poker. Lousy apology or explanation for calling Grace Tame ‘difficult’, exposed by the smirk.
There is no point to Labor’s majority if you plan to just occupy office, rather than fix stuff. #auspol26 theguardian.com/australia-news…

@markgkenny It’s disgusting watching LNP, Labor and Hanson playing politics rather than solving the problem. Citizens have rights, even when inconvenient.

Look, I know this site heaves with angry outbursts from people who wouldn’t engage with a complex argument if it was tied around their ankles, but this piece warrants a full reading. A serious liberal democracy would not ignore its international and human rights responsibilities

Reject MMR vaccine, eat this crap. Wonderful thread on US food banned in Europe.
Imagine the food company that cans chicken or flavours with fake blueberries. 😂

In an attempt to possibly explain why 77 million Americans voted for this man, while simultaneously explaining just why it is that Europeans live substantially longer, I’m absolutely delighted to introduce the revised list of US food that you cannot legally sell in Europe!🧵

Barnaby Joyce attacks Muslims saying ppl should be “very concerned” when they follow the Koran - then labels himself the “far right” & PK the “far left” when she compares it to following the Bible.
PK “You’re losing it today!”💥

Critical minerals for Trump visit. Despite the situation in the US, Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is still determined to bring Donald Trump to Australia & host the Quad in Qld. He'll lobby the US president in Washington DC & offer up Qld's critical minerals. #qldpol
