Splendid article by @zdaniel on #Nationals & #netzero. They think scrapping net zero is vote getter. Absolute rubbish especially as it will be at least a decade before voters give them #politicalpower to dump it. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

EVERALDATLARGE's tweet card. While Barnaby Joyce and Michael McCormack try to ditch the 43% net zero 2030 emissions target, Australia’s net zero target for 2035 has not yet been set

Impossible for #BarnabyJoyce Bill abolishing #NetZero to pass Parliament. Only reason for doing it is to create basis to challenge #Nationals leadership of #BrianLittleproud. David Littleproud shrugs off Barnaby Joyce net zero challenge abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2… via @ABCaustralia

Governor Bullock looks back & continues to diss hard data on inflation & the labour market. The speech reinforced my view that it is historical data & not the outlook that guides RBA actions, even if it says something different to that. This is high risk. youtube.com/watch?v=C-A9ys…

Absolute fact is #Australia does not have a flag. We have two. A #British flag in one corner & southern cross in the other neither of which are relevant to us. Can we just have a genuine Australian flag?

AADVANCE@FairAusADV · Jul 27

We stand under one flag, united. That’s how it should be.

#insiders ~ Sussan Ley had a shocker in parliament,what drugs are they on, talking her up…?: Albo was right to challenge her on her loyalty to Australia. Her promotion of the interests of Trump over the interests of Australia on the question of tariffs is frankly, disturbing.

Attendees at #Productivity Roundtable are powerbrokers of commerce industry finance of Australia who constantly tell govt what perks they want to make greater profits. No visionaries will be there. Productivity summit will fail if #ideology runs the day afr.com/policy/economy…

EVERALDATLARGE's tweet card. The danger of forming blocs at the roundtable is that it fosters an echo-chamber mentality and is more likely to pit business and unions against each other.

trump tells Israelis to “ finish the job” in Gaza. trump raises possibility of pardoning the child predator Maxwell. …and the Australian Coalition thinks it’s important for @AlboMP to scurry off to the US to pander to the creature. Why?

While a lasting resolution to the crisis in Gaza must involve a return of all hostages and a cessation of Israel’s military operations, these articles underscore the immediate need for action to be taken to prevent the travesty of innocent people dying of preventable starvation.…

Golf tour by #Trump simply tells us what a lightweight he is. #Xi & #Putin outsmart him every time via brains nous & quality of support teams & we all know he was part of #Epstein crimes against women. Golfing Trump Greeted by Protesters in Scotland nytimes.com/2025/07/26/wor…

EVERALDATLARGE's tweet card. The president was criticized by demonstrators on a range of issues, from his stance on immigration and Gaza to his ties to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10M. After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52M of taxpayer money on golf trips. If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.

On todays podcast OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS I begin debate on #PenaltyRates as there is no such thing as a weekend anymore nor normal working hours. People work when time is convenient to them. We need significant rise in #minimumwage rather than penalty rates.
