For ducks sake. And this is a headline from what was one meant to be a paper of ’record’. Who is writing these headlines, AI or ‘vested’ interests? Or do ‘journalists’ exist any more?

Labour on the take again. And donations to the party from big business are not in the public interest.

Anas Sarwar's party accepted over £7,000 from Stonehaven, a lobbying firm which represents the owner of Scotland's last nuclear power station. Scottish Labour has sought to make nuclear power a battleground in the May election.

Is it worth while commenting, other than to point out that two crooks have fallen out and two crooks have got together?
@Bot4Sale @ApaulD Old but still eye-opening read (from 2018): Over 180 cases of senior Australian public servants, pollies & staffers swapping sides with fossil fuel/mining lobbyists in just a decade. The 'golden escalator' undermining climate policy? Revolving door alive & well?
An intact Great Koala National Park reduces fire risks
Some mainstream media, politicians and the logging industry see Australian flora and fauna as one big ' firebomb' that needs logging urgently.
"...A logged forest is at much greater risk of burning at higher severity than intact forests that have not been logged. Logged forests are at significantly greater risk of high-severity wildfire than intact (unlogged) forests." David Lindenmayer, Ecologist

The media will tell you Sydney’s auction “clearance rate” is a sizzling 69.8%. But have a look at the fine print — 1483 auctions listed, only 880 reported. That’s barely 60% coverage. We’re fast reaching the point where half the results are missing, yet the headlines still shout “hot market!” Nothing like selective reporting to keep the property bubble afloat.

@jhaue It’s infuriating to see the obstruction playbook laid out so plainly. While people lose their homes to fires and floods, the Murdoch press and the business council work tirelessly to block any real change.
Let’s be honest: Murdoch almost certainly has a massive hidden financial stake in keeping fossil fuels alive. We may never know the full extent, but he’s not doing this for the economy - he’s protecting his own fortune.
They are arsonists posing as firefighters, and they belong in the dock for crimes against the future, not on the opinion pages.

@MorpheusB It's deeply troubling to witness how political figures, like the former health minister, transition into lucrative roles with companies linked to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church shortly after overseeing substantial government contracts. Hunt's advisory positions with Brethren-affiliated firms, which secured millions in COVID-related contracts, raise serious ethical concerns about the revolving door between politics and private enterprise. This situation underscores the urgent need for stricter regulations to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that public service remains focused on the public good, not personal gain.
