It's no longer controversial to claim that #BigTech is a parasite on the #news business. But there's still a raging controversy over the nature of the parasitism, and, much more importantly, *what to do about it*.

.@parnellpalme's column today warrants some comment in reply.

firstly, the trope that there aren't many direct jobs in renewables once the construction crew has left town…

read on for why this is a misconception…

smh.com.au/national/when-…
the example given by @senbmckenzie is the moree solar farm, which apparently only has 5 direct employees.

that's very few, but it's a small facility… it only generates ~0.15 TWh/yr, or 33 employees/annual-TWh.
kogan creek coal power station has 111 direct employees and generates ~5.2 TWh/yr, or 21.3 employees/annual-TWh.

(older coal power stations are much less efficient. eg. yallourn in victoria has 500 employees for 8.9 TWh last year = 56 employees/TWh.)

#NewsCorp une société de #Murdoch, travaille secrètement à "jouer un rôle de leader sur la question du #ChangementClimatique", selon des documents obtenus par @VICEnews, alors même qu'elle accorde un temps d'antenne considérable aux #climatosceptiques/négationnistes du climat.

Imagine if this "smoking gun" had been story of day that @BreakfastNews promoted, instead of their gullible team running with #Newscorp rubbish. I cannot find any coverage on #ABC of this critical element in #sportsrorts saga. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…
"Officials from ANAO revealed to Senate talking points written by McKenzie’s senior adviser were basis for its conclusion the grant program was skewed to target marginal seats."
Also, "the talking points written by McKenzie’s senior adviser were the basis for its conclusion the community sport infrastructure grant program was skewed to target and marginal seats."
