The Albanese LABOR government's Environment Minister and famed "fixer", Murray Watt, waved through a “carbon bomb” which will release the equivalent of an estimated 4.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, roughly 10 times Australia’s current total yearly emissions!

Given the latest shitty news about Woodside's North West Shelf (NWS) extension approval, reading Mike Seccombe's recent rather rosy assessment of Murray Watt's clout as Labor's "fixer" doesn't strike me as ironic so much as obviously an unmitigated failure and yet another betrayal by the Albanese government. #Environment #Australia #auspol #globalwarming #ClimateCrisi #AustralianLaborParty #Betrayal thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/e

The Saturday Paper · Murray Watt’s first task as environment ministerBy Mike Seccombe

2025 “He didn’t come during his first term as president, but American presidents will always be welcome here, as are other international visitors.” — Australian PM

VS

1966 “Outside Melbourne Town Hall, a carefully prepared civic welcome was swept aside in a minute. Civic dignitaries and their wives were crushed, bruised and pummeled by surging people.

Fist #fights broke out, and police, soldiers and American security men fought desperately, but vainly to keep the frenzied crowd clear of the President.

A number of people #fainted but the crush was so great they could not collapse underfoot…. Plastic bags of paint were #thrown at the President's car as it pulled slowly away from #ElmTree House. A bag burst over the windscreen and the canopy, splattering paint over three of the President's security guards.

The President's comment was: "I guess he just couldn't stand the size of that turnout." — referring to the size of his car.”

The “Bubble top” was down.
