@WideEyedCurious What - by #geoengineering? No thanks very much. How about reducing, then eliminating, the extraction & burning of #fossilfuels, & ending the #destruction of #forests & #wetlands? Or is that just too simple & straightforward, & too liable to upset #fossilfuel #companies & their #wealthy #shareholders?

I’ve been thinking. Maybe, we’ve all got it wrong and #AlboPM is not colluding with the #GasIndustry at all and there are good reasons why he is not slapping a substantial #GasExpotTax on those bloddy #Grifters and their #Shareholders. But we just don’t know about it. Sure it would help if #AlboPM manned up and explain himself without using dumb soundbites and quips that, translated, mean we’re all dimwits and wouldn’t understand even if he told us. Hell, it would be good enough if he told his cabinet the ‘good reasons’ not to so that his cabinet could tell us the things #AlboPM can’t … for some reason…

But no… of course not… he is such a #Secretive little gnome.
Anyway, read the article and feel better by knowing you’re nor the only one who thinks #AlboPM ‘s got it massively wrong. Sad sack that he is.

#Labor is selling us out to the #Grifting #Gas industry corporations, their #Investors and their #Shareholders. Not only are the Gas companies taking the mickey, our #PrimeMinister #AlboPM is colluding with them at having a jolly ol’ laugh at every Australian’s expense. Literally.

Aside from that, it seems we can’t afford the NDIS— Give me a break.
