Guess who’s coming to dinner? Glencore, Peabody and BHP michaelwest.com.au/guess-whos-com… via @MichaelWestBiz
“The move by Josh Frydenberg to exclude Greenpeace, The Australia Institute and the Australian Conservation Foundation from next week’s Budget lock-up continues his long history of favouring business groups over green groups dating back to when he was Environment Minister.”
“Jommy Tee reports stunning new evidence of fossil fuel influence.”

“Australia’s then minister for environment (& energy), Josh Frydenberg, was to be completely stacked with coal & mining executives.”
“According to Freedom of Information (FoI) documents obtained in the US by the environmental group Sierra Club,”
“not one single environmental group or organisation was to be invited to the dinner to honour the head of the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA), Scott Pruitt, on his planned visit to Australia in September 2017.”
“Representatives of Glencore, Peabody, BHP and Whitehaven Coal and representatives from the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) were on the proposed guest list for the dinner.”
“The MCA’s representatives were to include its then chair, Vanessa Guthrie (current director of the ABC and Santos) and its then chief executive Brendan Pearson, now a senior adviser with Prime Minister Scott Morrison.”
“There has been speculation that Pearson was the likely source of the lump of coal that Morrison brandished in parliament in 2017.
Glencore, Peabody and Santos feature heavily in Michael West Media’s annual reviews of Australia’s Top 40 tax dodgers.”

“This is a revolution. We are at a juncture in history where the tide has turned. Forty years of ideology of markets and experiments in many countries has failed. The last straw was COVID-19.”

“By which he meant, among other things, that America’s market-based economy was unable to supply its citizens with masks and they had to get them from China. And the mRNA vaccine breakthrough was the result of government money, not private enterprise.”

After a few more examples of market failure, he added that markets don’t account for risk effectively, which means they are not resilient.”

“Whichever contender succeeds the worst prime minister in living memory will have to come to terms with two fundamental consequences of Brexit.” theguardian.com/business/2022/…
“One is that the Office for Budget Responsibility’s estimate of a 4% annual loss to gross domestic product not only makes the country poorer but severely limits their tax-cutting ambitions – hers now, his later.”
“Foolishly losing tens of billions of potential tax revenues through Brexit is not a good start to either of their ambitions.

The second is the devaluation of the pound by up to 12%, which the financial markets attribute to, yes, Brexit.”

Holy Dooley, Catholic clubs make a killing from poker machines michaelwest.com.au/holy-dooley-ca… via @MichaelWestBiz
“DOOLEYS Lidcombe Catholic Club has raked in more than half a billion dollars of revenue from poker machines over the past ten years. That’s $511 million of customer losses from just one club.”
“Last year alone, poker machines injected $74.5 million cash into DOOLIES, some 83 per cent of all its income.
The Archbishop of Sydney is the Patron of this Western Sydney gambling colossus, at least according to the Club’s constitution. And only Catholics can become directors”

“Peter Dutton is calling for “civilised debate” in Australia. On Sky News he complained that the current standard of public debate is “reprehensible” and “unacceptable”. The opposition leader blames social media for the decline. I do not.”
thesaturdaypaper.com.au/opinion/topic/…
“Dutton’s public conduct, over two decades, shows little commitment to civility in debate. He is either a hypocrite or his new-found commitment hides something more disturbing than the need for good manners. The latter should be the main concern.”
“Dutton’s method of setting out the problem and the solution he proposes contains all the elements of censoring robust debate or criticisms.”

“President of Timor-Leste, José Ramos-Horta, accused former foreign affairs minister Alexander Downer of “avoiding & distorting” the issues around the 2004 bugging scandal, saying recent comments ignored the fact that Australia had spied,” theguardian.com/world/2022/may…
“on behalf of oil companies & using the cover of Australia’s supposedly altruistic foreign aid program”.
“Downer appeared on the ABC’s Q&A program & was questioned about the 2004 Australian Secret Intelligence Service mission to bug Timor-Leste’s government during sensitive talks to carve up oil & gas reserves in the Timor Sea.”
