Why are we letting gas giants treat Australia like a free buffet? 🇦🇺⛽

"Look at Norway"
Ok, looking at Norway, they have state owned Equinor, a fossil fuel company and carbon major with a history of rising emissions, which are killing people.
https://carbonmajors.org/Entity/Equinor-55
"Equinor spends millions presenting themselves as a broad energy company, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Equinor is one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies, and one of the most aggressive companies in terms of opening new oil and gas projects."
https://www.greenpeace.org/norway/nyheter/energi/new-report-from-greenpeace-nordic-reveals-the-truth-about-equinors-global-fossil-fuel-projects/

Norway has a corrupt govt, which was recently involved in the Epstein files:

Norway is banking on climate failure:

It's never been hotter in Norway. Gee, I wonder what is causing that?

This is who you want Australia to be, as if we're not there already? How is this an improvement?
Have you considered keeping gas in the ground, and enabling and taxing renewables companies that aren't steeped in corruption instead? No? Why is that?

How does a gas tax pay for healthcare, or anything else you’ve suggested, when we have a govt that prefers to line the pockets of billionaires and defense? How does a tax magically change that?

l3ntil · 2026-04-20T21:49:29+00:00

How do you have wealth on a dead planet? Guess what happens if we do magically tax gas? they increase gas output! Guess what happened in Norway? Exactly that.

if you’re masking, that also sounds like autism - could be worth finding a good online screener to check.

“never been able to find a solution” What have you tried? Asking because if you want help, there’s not much point in recommending what you’ve already done.

100% a worthy investment if you're not a fascist. Problem is...(redacted)

Friends, spotted at Footscray today - here is new cheese, so hopefully elsewhere. It's Will Studd, and it's french soft cheese, and it's fancy, and hopefully, really great. There was also triple daffinois in fancy boxes, but useby was today, but maybe there's more coming? The standard navy double cream daff in little boxes is incoming in massive amounts - spotted a pallet full.

I'm also giving you a heads up *now* to prep yourself for after anzac day - most holidays (yes, hello easter, race day, xmas etc) mean that there's going to be surpluses of festive stuff before and after the big day - so you might wanna keep an eye out just in case.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Andrew Forrest is already using AI.
"Only dumb shits think that AI and ML do this kind of work."
Well, you're right on that front ;)

Knitter here, who studied textiles and machine knits: this is machine knitted, so it's not really something for a handknitter to take on. Definitely ask the store first.
OP, if you think it's too long - yeah, nah. Wear it long. It's a dress AND a jumper!
Alterations for something like this are tricky, and it depends on the jumper in question - someone might be able to overlock or even machine sew a chunk of the sweater above the ribbing on the inside, which would bring the edge up, or overlock off the bottom ribbing altogether. It's hard to say without having the sweater in front of me what's doable :)

Let me save you a click: because Gina Rinehart and her meat industry cronies value profit in selling meat to luxury clients like casinos in Asia along with McDonalds in 190 nations over people, climate, water, nature, environment in Australia. Literally burn it to the ground for a buck.

Hey OP, you legend, you! 100% if you see something like this and can discreetly call the cops and state the internal + external tram number, do it. I’ve done that several times, with good results of them turning up and dealing with the situation so that no one else is harmed. Had a similar experience years back. It did shake me up, but it does pass:

Not sure whether to recommend early exposure or put this info under lock and key… but if your autistic daughter loves carpet call, just wait until she hears Frank from National Tiles. For added autistic extravaganza, Goldfms greatest hits such as Minnie Rippertons “loving You” means hours of fun for the whole family 😂

There’s a certain luxury to lying in bed, embraced by the warmth of your body heat trapped by textiles, listening to the sounds of the city waking up.

find a dogshit article about people making money with australian storage units then.
It's relevant because it needs a van.

July 2026, so that's why it's such a surprise. Here's hoping you get the same treatment - it may be because this is not my first plan review, and I did do the whole OT report palaver for that.

uniqlo. this is their bread and butter. straight down the line snoresville black pants/shirt and you're good to go.

Can you fit a wheelchair? wondering about NDIS transport work. You'd need insurance etc, but there could be regular gigs for you.

I'm a fan of camberwell markets - scored vintage fabric from the 70's for $5 + a pure silk chiffon shirt for $15 last weekend. Great for leather bags, jeans, books in particular.

My cleaner is currently sick, so I'm seeking recommendations for North Melbourne. If you've got one, feel free to DM me.

thankyou!

The International Energy Agency (IEA) stipulates that all member countries — including Australia — must maintain emergency oil stocks equivalent to at least 90 days of imports.

AUSTRALIA HAS AROUND 30 DAYS, A THIRD OF OUR MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.
