The climate crisis is real. We should be pushing for renewables. Instead, the world's largest banks have committed nearly $1 trillion to the fossil fuel industry. Our country, our way of life, the very planet we call home, is being held to ransom by bankers.

JPMorgan Chase leads 65 banks making decisions incompatible with restraining rising temperatures, researchers say
I find it a little galling that the public funds what is effectively an advertising campaign for Westpac. Ditto Ronald McDonald House
Simeon Brown thinks it’s okay to waste up to a billion dollars of taxpayer money on a terminal NZ clearly does not need but using taxpayer money to make PT more affordable for everyone is ‘wasteful’.
“Officials redacted advice showing 'low need' or no need for LNG imports”

Possibly my hottest take is that every time I hear someone whine about speed cameras all I hear is "I routinely drive faster than the speed limit and I don't think I should suffer any consequences for it"
Government officials tried to redact advice pointing to a "low need" for the facility and, in some cases, no need at all.

Bishop really grabbing at straws here which are easily deflated - it is way too rich for a minister already spending massive amounts more on small stretches of road….this policy will help ease the cost of living.
Get a grip Bish!
