@bagder you wouldn't happen to be in Nebraska, by any chance? ;)
edit (thankyou mastodon!) - I can see that you're not, but it still applies 100 fold:
Thankyou for all that you do.

@joannaholman When. Australia is the largest user of diesel per capita in the world, wondering if those fears are very much valid?

"2SER, or Sydney Educational Radio, is owned by the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Macquarie University, the latter of which announced it would withdraw its funding for the station this year."
Community radio has been a major chunk of my upbringing, and having been involved, this one hits hard.

Where is 10 years worth of any other countries political leaders wearing fossil fuel uniforms like Australia's does?
PETROSTATE:
"A petrostate, oil state or petrocracy is a country whose economy is heavily dependent on the extraction and export of oil or natural gas."
IEA: GAS IN AUSTRALIA
https://www.iea.org/countries/australia/natural-gas
Share of domestic gas production
367.9%
Trend
360%
change 2000-2024
How do those stats not show a petrostate?

However you want to slice and dice the data, or the naming of what Australia is and does, we are not the renewables superpower that the media is making Australia out to be.
Australia is one of the world's largest exporters + polluters c/o fossil fuels. We're the largest user of diesel per capita in the world.
We're a huge source of industrial agriculture and export to McDonalds in 190 nations.

Name another country whose politicians proudly wear the uniform of fossil fuel companies as if they're employees. Ours has, for over 10 years.

@JulianOliver don't believe the climate hype re: Australia's "massive" renewables use nearing 100% renewables. Australia is at 9% renewables as a % of total energy consumption, and is the largest user of diesel per capita in the world ⬇️

Australia uses the equivalent of 7.5 barrels of oil per person per year.
The largest amount per capita in the world. Let that sink in.
How come our "climate experts" have said NOTHING about this?

"Can we all agree now that we must exorcise ourselves of the oil industry and oligarchs that profit from bloodshed?"
Unfortunately, for The Australia Institute + Greenpeace Australia, no. There's MONEY to be made, just like Norway does!

Sexual Health Victoria is closing their Melbourne City clinic, forcing people in the city to do a 2 hour trip via PT to Box Hill, or find alternative services.
When it comes to #abortion #MensHealth #womenssexualhealth #sexualhealth #WomensHealth #menopause, these services matter and should not be cut.

Chris Bowen's legacy:
"Of the 39 power generation projects that have successfully bid into the Capacity Investment Scheme since December 2023 – which include solar, wind and solar-battery hybrids – only two have begun construction. Zero out of 15 windfarms." - Ryan Cropp, AFR

The new alternative cover to All's "Breaking Things" is rather on point, don't you think?
Bummer to be that kitchen owner.

@aj@gts.sadauskas.id.au secondary school = boarding school and one of the more memorable lunches was sausage rolls - right after dissecting rats in biology.
They were forever called rat rolls afterward...
