Tim Wilson and Tim Smith offer a lesson to their party, both state and federal. They lost the capacity for self-doubt, believed their own b-s and showed no respect for the electorate. |OPINION by Jon Faine #springst #auspol theage.com.au/national/victo…

We already have all the technology needed to stop and reverse climate change. We just need different politicians
Replying to @DoctorKarl
The thing with terraforming other planets to make them habitable is, if we had that technology, we should use it on earth to stop it becoming uninhabitable.

“We are not going to hurt those wonderful people that put food on our table.” ~ @M_McCormackMP Sweet sentiment mate, but that’s exactly what you are doing from inadequately addressing climate change. Save the sugar for your coffee. #ClimateActionNow smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

For Aussies, this is just shy of twice the height of the Harbour Bridge from the water 😳
Monster wind turbine with capacity unimaginable just a decade ago stoking a #renewables arms race - with one able to turn out 13MW, enough to light up a town of 12,000 homes “When assembled in arrays, the wind machines have the potential to power cities” nytimes.com/2021/01/01/busin…

Happy New Year, good folk of Victoria. I’ve never felt more a part of this state as in 2020. We’ve had such hard times and challenges but we’ve got this. The path forward will be easier. We go into 2021 with such strong public health approaches. A credit to everyone. Thank you!

Wow. We don’t have the details yet... but Johnson is apparently going to ban the sale of _all_ petrol/diesel vehicles inside a decade. Has anyone told the English they’ll lose their weekends? And there will be no more tradies? 🤷🏼‍♂️ ft.com/content/5e9af60b-774b…

If you're out and about - maybe even at #FedSquare - we have a simple request from @VictorianCHO. Please: Go Home, Stay Home. #Covid19 #Coronavirus

Some of the behaviour today - when we’re asking people to stay home - has been really crap. It’s hard to change habits and it’s hard to see dangers that aren’t apparent yet. But with 3,000 cases of COVID in Australia this week, we’re headed to 100,000 in 2-3 weeks without change.

$850m package for Indian farmers to export already subsidised sugar onto the world market ! Global sugar price goes into free-fall. @Birmo @D_LittleproudMP @ScottMorrisonMP we must use @wto as a matter of priority and principle. @NationalFarmers @afsnsw @CANEGROWERS @MalesWarren – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
India's decision to push subsidised sugar onto the world market is devastating for Aussie sugarcane growers. The world price dropped further overnight. We're calling on the Australian Government to take the issue to the World Trade Organisation. bit.ly/2DAiAvI

Those who know me know I love a multi-buy, but 3 punnets of the best tasting strawberries I’ve had all year for $6 is a joke. Send a farmer some love and buy some berries! #noneedles @NationalFarmers @VicFarmers @theweeklytimes @stockandland
