'Responsible partys of government' would have fixed this decades ago.

"Climate Energy Finance calculated that the top 15 diesel users burned nearly 6bn litres and emitted 16.2m tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2023-24. While doing this they earned nearly $2.9bn in credits.

The fuel tax credit scheme is one of the 20 biggest expenses in the budget, and the cost to taxpayers is increasing rapidly. It leapt 6% this year, and is forecast to have expanded by another 19.9% by mid-2029."

To those in #Canberra who thought we were insulated from the dangerous political over-reach we see in other jurisdictions ...... guess again. "Earlier this week, police received a complaint regarding artwork displayed at Dissent Bar and Cafe. On Wednesday 18 February, officers attended and spoke with the owner, requesting the posters be removed as part of their investigation. Police said the owner declined the request and a crime scene was subsequently established." Completely on brand Dave at Dissent Bar, dissented. Legend! Comrades are urged to swing by there and grab a feed and or a drink if you are financially able to do so. https://canberradaily.com.au/crime-scene-established-at-dissent-bar-and-cafe-over-possible-hate-imagery/ #auspol #fascism #democracy #Dissent
