The Qld LNP has used its numbers at the state conference to pass a motion for the Coalition to remove all support for net zero. It creates a direct challenge to Sussan Ley's leadership. #auspol

“The media & (some of) political class have convinced people a bleak future awaits their children and grandchildren unless fossil fuels are curtailed.” Because it does. Because that’s our reality. Likewise our overuse of plastics, agrochemicals, logging, building materials are destroying our planet.

The reform of the EPBC act has dragged on so long - I made a submission to the Allan Hawke review in 2009 - one of the many unfulfilled reviews papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf

Apparently Dutton got a standing ovation at the LNP conference in QLD.

The dude who single-handedly annihilated the Liberal Party got a standing ovation... they will never learn

Australia’s leadership in the uptake of rooftop solar and the huge amounts of exports to the grid has already created one remarkable change in the shape of the grid, including the emergence of the “solar duck” curve

But new analysis points to the virtual elimination of solar exports in many homes, thanks to the unexpectedly high uptake of household batteries.

RenewEconomy · Stunning success of home battery boom will slash rooftop solar exports, and reshape the grid – againAustralian households are not just putting in more solar batteries, they are putting in bigger ones. And that has big implications for how the grid is managed.

It's nearly Reading to reMAKE time again!

Our next conversation will be on September 1st, 6pm (AEST).
The discussion is held online and open to anyone interested in exploring ideas and stretching their thinking with others.

We'll be discussing a piece I wrote on remaking the state. I wrote this piece because right now we are seeing an increased hijacking of the state by private and corporate interests, the suppression and marginalisation of the citizenry and the exponential concentration of money and power.

I'd love you to join the conversation to share your ideas, reflections, critiques and any thoughts as to where to next when it comes to remaking the state.

The Productivity Commission has run a flag up its flagpole which prompted a quick reply from Govt:

“We have copyright laws,” said arts minister Tony Burke last week. “We have no plans, no intention, no appetite to be weakening those copyright laws based on this draft report that’s floating around.”

He was referring to the Productivity Commission’s controversial floating of a text and data mining exception to the Australian Copyright Act, which would make it legal to train artificial intelligence (AI) large language models, such as ChatGPT, on copyrighted Australian work.”

This flag is clearly the #Grifter’s own. Clearly the Commission does not advocate for the whole of society, perhaps it never did… fools we be…
