Many projects that earn big polluters carbon credits are farcical, writes Andrew Macintosh. This financial year, more than 10 million credits will be issued for fake reforestation projects in desert and semi-desert areas that have never been cleared of native vegetation. trib.al/LJXSqCV
How to fix the safeguard measure
Offsets have failed. Almost 30 years of experience has shown they rarely work and that the failings are systemic, arising not from technical issues but the governance dynamics that develop around them – principally, the incentive to use them to manipulate prices.

As per usual this is the weakest possible 'rebuke' by spineless poncing prick @albomp.bsky.social. What he should be saying is that the algorithm should be OPT IN. #AusVotes2028 #AusNews #auspol

If we had anybody in govt with any relevant knowledge who was also willing to push back against Trump's 'free speech' bullshit they'd respond that it's actually the algorithm that's censoring information and not allowing people to turn the algorithm off is also censorship. #AusVotes2028 #auspol

This is an extraordinary act of direct foreign interference by the US embassy in domestic Australian politics. The Australian government should publicly respond by rejecting efforts by the US embassy to dictate how Australia legislates for a digital duty of care.

The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.

2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers.

3) Use profits to make political donations.

4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.

5) Repeat.

In all the grandiose discussion about colonising Mars, I don't see much about how the soil is poisonous to us.

This was only discovered in 2008. It contains perchlorates, which are environmental toxins here on Earth.

Any human contact with Mars dust? Super-bad news in the long run.

Do you understand @albomp.bsky.social that the THIRTY SEVEN #fossilfuel approvals your govt has given for #mining and #fracking are not going to end until the oldest members of:
- Gen X (1965-1980) are dead
- Gen Y (1981-1996) are 99
- Gen Z (1997-2012) are 83

Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
And more...

With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Shameful.

Why would any potential parent birth a child into this country/onto this planet when:
- you're destroying the insurance scheme that child may need
- you're paving the way for more fossil fuel pollution
- AI & climate change makes that child's future a hellscape #auspol

Sad little hoWARd wannabe poncing about on the world stage - operating under the delusion that anybody is looking or listening - making grand pronouncements that aren't true and nobody hears bc you're representing a tiny population living at the arse end of the planet that no-one GAF about.
Australia has never stood on the sidelines. We’ve always played our part in building a safer and more peaceful world.

Today we’re launching our campaign for a seat on the UN Security Council for 2029–30.

We will listen with respect. We will partner as equals. And we will protect what matters most.
