Well… we tried. WA Gas field expansion approved by #SenMurrayWatt.
There was no need for more gas supply in WA (for export only) except to fill #Grifting #Corporate #coffers. It’s not aabout #jobs, it’s not about #tax receipts (the #PRRT is ridiculously low), it’s not about royalties (First Nations’ people get bugger all). It’s about the RAPING of the land, and increased #POLLUTION and political decisions made for MATES and not the #electorate nor the #Environment

I am deeply offended by #Labor ‘s continued disregard for the environment and the policies voted on by the National Conference. I regret to say that #AlboPM cares more about staying in govt than about anything else. Handed a quasi-mandate, gifted an LNP in disarray, the Leader of the Party is proving too timid to radically change Australia for the better. Fucking disappointment!

Remains to be seen if the Left has any gumption during this second term to pressure the Leader to do what he was voted in to do FFS.

""The Liberals are in danger of becoming the Kodak of Australian politics. They are certainly in the deepest crisis since their formation in 1944. It is hackneyed to point out that this is not the party of Menzies, but that does not make the claim untrue.""

An Interesting read by Frank Bongiorno.

The parenthesized greens is my "work".

*The John Gorton Quote is stunning.*

The Nats are same old same old always sooking, always the victim, even now.

I don't agree with this guy's politics, by and large, but this column isn't political, and it is spot on. We are here because people are ignorant. People are ignorant because they don't read. #davidbrooks #nyt #electorate #reading #analysis
