Founded 1976 by big fossil, #AtlasNetwork unit CIS is spinning the 🇺🇸🇮🇱oil war on Iran with anti-RE 'drill baby drill' stories for secret 'donors'.

🇺🇸 #AtlasNetwork’s ‘dirty work’ propaganda unit TPU advertising AI slop fake vids to re-elect an #AtlasNetwork government on NZME. Barbara Chapman dep board chair of Atlas big business unit NZI also on board of fossilcorp Genesis Energy (defendant in scuttled climate case Smith v Fonterra) & NZME.
TPU ads running in front of autoplay videos on NZME website - which are again AI generated Hipkins - REALLY feels like it shouldn't be allowed. Media can't keep getting away with claiming "objectivity" for verbatim reporting PR lines, or refusing to attack the rightwing, while this incentive exists

Victorian Socialists has announced candidates in all 88 Legislative Assembly districts and 8 Legislative council regions - the first time in the history of Victoria that a socialist party has contested every seat in both houses of the state parliament.
The Tech Bros want to strip-mine Australia for their AI. Govt is letting them. Monte Dwyer reckons some serious oversight is in order.

After 5 years of study, WA's independent environmental watchdog found Woodside's Browse gas project was an unacceptable environmental risk on multiple grounds.
Read the confidential 2023 documents obtained by Boiling Cold in my story in The Guardian.
Jordan Williams was trained by 🇺🇸fossil corp/billionaire funded #AtlasNetwork to run one of 550+ ‘thinktanks’ in 100 nations, to take over Aotearoa’s public policy ‘debate’ & government for them with nasty propaganda. Isn’t #AtlasNetwork the most dangerous, antisocial, predatory lawless gang ever?
1. Anything run or started by Jordan Williams should be considered the same organisation
2. You can bet he (and Seymour) would be super against anything even slightly slanderous aimed at ACT (see: Tim Jago)

Nannas at the Land & Environment Court, knee deep in legal-eese and trying to untangle the knot of dates, conditions, lapses, sections and modifications that all add up to protecting Sydney’s water supply from coal mining.
👀 2 comments for details.
Hearing continues today.
Wasn’t government approval for child-roasting 🇺🇸petro-monster Chevron conditional on ‘sequestering‘ forever a wee percentage of heat accelerating CO2/CH4 gases through fictitious CCS tech? Didn’t taxpayers tip in cash to build it despite Chevron’s priveliged immunity from 🇦🇺tax & environmental law?🔥🤑💀
Climate disaster keeps disastering:
Satellite monitoring has detected massive plumes of methane pouring from Chevron's Gorgon LNG plant in Western Australia.

"It is blatantly irresponsible for politicians like Jess Wilson to be linking legitimate and peaceful protest of Israel’s genocide in Gaza to the Bondi terror attack. We unequivocally condemn her mislabelling of peaceful protest as antisemitic."
@jewishcouncilau.bsky.social statement. #springst
A new peer-reviewed estimate of what data centres will pump out in climate pollution -
Between 300 to 1,300 mtco2-e per year, by 2035 (IEA scenarios)
Mckinsey scenarios:
- 3,000 by 2035
- 30,000 by 2045
arxiv.org/pdf/2608.14421limited.systems/articles/ai-...
“Zelfs de uitstoot volgens de conservatieve IAE-scenario’s met beperkte groei ligt in de orde van grootte van 1 GtCO₂e per jaar en is onaanvaardbaar in het licht van het wereldwijde koolstofbudget”, schrijft [professor Wim Vanderbauwhede] in zijn paper.

To the Greens candidate at local forum:
"as the only candidate here not running to
*slash public services for giveaways to rich investors
* harm renters & homebuyers
* smash the climate
* break treaties
* bash immigrants, and
* generally make the state worse
...why are the media ignoring you?"
When PM Turnbull later tried to salve his conscience with a National Energy Guarantee supporting a minimum % of RE in the power grid, Rupert Murdoch flew in from 🇺🇸 and within days Turnbull was rolled. That’s how we had a truly conscience-less coal sock puppet PM foisted on us in the shape of ScuMo.
I love when people remind us of how shit Malcolm Turnbull actually was as PM. Stay away from the rose-coloured glasses and remember the taxpayer-funded executive snorkelling holidays! 💩
When PM Turnbull replaced Abbott as temporary face of fossil MNCs parliamentary wing in #Auspol (LNP now PHONLNP) he commissioned this boondoggle instead of wisely spending our $ on solar, wind, batteries, EV rollout. He gave $0.444 bill to the GBRF fossil PR front to lie to us about the dying Reef.

'Since 2024, the industry has been gifted $1.5 billion of taxpayer funds to exit. One Nation now wants to spend even more taxpayer dollars subsidising its return.'

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth.
Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why.

From Carnegie to Claude: AI wealth could reshape philanthropy.
Anthropic says it will commit 5% of its shares to a new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a stake that could be worth around $100 billion if the company reaches the $2 trillion valuation expected at its stock market debut

PHON & LNP will dutifully complete the work of fossil fuel sponsored #AtlasNetwork think-tanks that spunoff Advance to kill the Voice referendum, then offshore wind, now the Vic govts clean energy rollout & VNI-West project. All this racism is cultivated solely to protect Big Fossil power & profit.
What we already know is a Jess Wilson-led Liberal Party will scrap Victoria's Treaty process that's been 10 years in the making & ongoing
That's sufficient information to take a decision
Will public institutions, civic orgs & leaders committed to Walking with First Nations honour their commitment❓️
It sure does, your government is run by the #AtlasNetwork
Hope our dear Kiwi cousins rise up and kick out your fossil fascist flavoured #AtlasNetworkGovernment at the election on Nov 7th #AoNZpol#NZpol
Legal and Con Estimates today, I’ll be asking:
🔎 Why the NACC has still never held a public hearing
⚖️ The Brereton reports that were never released
🎙️ How private court recordings were offshored
❌ How new hate laws are being used against Palestinians
As @thejuicemedia.com illustrates coherently, the protests around the world are echoing each other because multinational plutocrats have screwed us over in almost the same ways, and tried to crush our ability to protest it. Watch & share. #Auspol
Me glaring at the “neoliberal thought collective”
Aboriginal Land Rights are one of the biggest impediments to mining expansion.
The main reason why fossil fuel lobby want to nasty other One Nation people and destroy their culture, language, flag, ceremonies, history from Western Civilisation interpretation. #auspol

#AtlasNetwork thinktanks funded by Big Oil/billionaires pushed privatisation of public assets in the '80s, then sold to Atlas insiders. They advocated for removal of taxation of fossil/polluting industry, undermine public support for climate policy & block clean energy with disinformation. #NZpol
Are Liberal Party-voters who voted YES to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament having conversations with the Victorian Liberal Party & fellow LNP-voters about the Party's promise to rip Victoria's Treaty❓
Any media care to report on this❓
