beware the anning "dead cat" distraction! he's a nobody with no chance of re-election.

bigger fish such as @ScottMorrisonMP, @PeterDutton_MP & @PaulineHansonOz — and their media enablers — have so much more to answer for.

#racism won't leave parliament when anning goes.
remember this?
…and this?

the environment minister @Melissa4Durack mislead the public today.

the minister said emissions have plateaued — they have, in fact, increased year on year.

she used the word "honest" many times in the interview. this was one of several lies.
.@Melissa4Durack told @Raf_Epstein the ERF has abated 193 MtCO₂ already.

this is false.

since its 2015 inception, ERF has abated just 37.6 Mt, less than 20% of the minister's claim.

to put it into context the bayswater coal power station has emitted ~60 Mt over same period.
193 Mt is what the ERFv1.0 will have delivered by 2028 *if* every project is successful.

by then, bayswater will have emitted another 150 MtCO₂.

either @Melissa4Durack is not across her portfolio, or she holds the electorate in contempt. or both.

Please note: One interesting thing here when Matthew Elliott says the "coalition that made Brexit happen" has been working for two decades (in 2016) means when Matthew Elliott created the TPA, the coalition was already working on Brexit.
The *apolitical* TPA -except...
Except I stepped on a quite interesting poll from 2006 (that can be found here: web.archive.org/web/2010050100… -may I suggest you save it, it may not last?) that seems to suggest the apolitical TPA actually cared a lot about politics.
As in, you know, it's in the title.

I met Shyla last year in a meeting. Her father had dreamt of making her a doctor. But his dreams drowned in the sewer he had died in. This is her story. (ruralindiaonline.org/articles/my-mo…)
Ten years later, Shyla is almost close to realising her father’s dream. She is doing her nursing course, and she needs help. As a society that sent her father down the sewers, I think it is our responsibility to see that she becomes a nurse.
When I met her again last month, Shyla was exuding confidence. “I will soon be a nurse and if you need anything, call me over” she told me and i cant wait.
Shyla’s course fee for third year comes close to Rs 1 lakh. I already have someone pledging Rs 10,000.
