Our mental health system is woefully underfunded and under resourced. I’ve seen it up close and personal and it is appalling. Most patients are released too soon into an environment that only exacerbates their condition.

@greenpeaceap.bsky.social protesting Woodside's gas in Australia @nickofnz.bsky.social = ✅ Where is opposition to the 25% gas tax? How do you pay for child care with a gas tax when you've caused half a million deaths from fossil fuel exports? Australia = twice Norways fossil fuel exports.

"Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King said the activists had broken several laws, and described the protest as "reckless behaviour in the extreme"." Meanwhile Australia is causing at least 60000 deaths per year due to our fossil fuel exports. We've over double the exports of Norway's Equinor:

It's important that people not idealize Bluesky as a public forum or treat it as some kind of cloistered liberal bubble. It has some pretty standard VC investors, including crypto people like Brock Pierce's Blockchain Capital. It may be a public benefit corporation, but it's not a utopian project.

The climate policy of taxing gas exports instead of keeping them in the ground does not give Australia revenue, as Norway has shown @simonrosenberg.bsky.social. Norway has caused a quarter of a million deaths through fossil fuel exports. Australia has double the exports of Norway. You do the math.

Who faces the loses from ending fossil fuels? The rich: "In the U.S., 82% of the devaluation would hit the wealthiest 10% of households, and that loss... would amount to only 0.4% of the wealthiest households’ net worth." Big Money & the rich are blocking climate action for a rounding error.

100% correct @robertarnol.bsky.social. Nicola Forrest is from a racist family who support The League of Rights, and her "backing indigenous children" is a tax dodge, nothing more. Minderoo funded compulsory income management whilst she was involved, which targets First Nations people.

How’s she backing indigenous children? By removing them from their parents and communities? Don’t believe the bullshit! None of that money will be providing funding for community controlled services.

Nicola Forrest's family = league of rights, one of the most racist organisations in Australia. She hasn't donated any money - she's simply pledged, whilst holding onto the cash as a tax dodge, which is common amongst billionaires who make The Giving Pledge: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giv...
