Support for Mining Fossil Fuels






"We can never be grateful enough to LNP senator Matt Canavan for putting on the public record that the Coalition's support for nuclear power was only ever designed to get them out of a tight spot on emissions reductions while it continued to support coal-fired power."

Thank you ABC Chief Political Correspondent Laura Tingle for clearly articulating what I've known for decades (not so much the shift to nuclear, but) the Coalition's unceasing support for those corporations mining fossil fuels. Its notable that Queen Elizabeth II was a massive shareholder in one of those corps, while her son King Charles is a self professed "green".

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine.
