    Excellent. Watched the whole thing & he nailed it. His last point, that politicians should NOT take jobs in the industries they regulate, who could disagree with that? Also loved Richard Dennis’ killer line that gas companies pay more in PR than they do in PRRT (the gas windfall profits tax). All that wining & dining & political donations don’t come cheap either… they’re playing us for mugs.

  6. A good article from Gold and Geopolitics...
    "If #transparency is necessary for security, let’s start with the #government.
    Full #disclosure of all #communications with #corporations. Public records of every message, every meeting, every decision. Track which #officials talk to which #lobbyists. Transcribe EVERY phone call. Monitor which bureaucrats approve which contracts. Blockchain every procurement deal. Make their metadata visible. Open source ALL the data."

    If you think that Australian political parties are ‘bought off’ by corporate and wealthy Australians contribution, think again…

    “Australia provides taxpayer funding to parties and candidates based on how many votes they receive. At the May 2025 federal election, each voter was worth around $6.80 in public funding, and that will rise to $10 at the next election – that’s $5 each for ballots for the House of Representatives and Senate.

    Labor got $37 million in taxpayer funding after the 2025 election, the Liberal–National Coalition $33 million, the Greens $13 million and One Nation $6 million.

    It pays to be popular. Winning the vote of an extra 1% of Australians (about 160,000 people) is worth $1.1 million, set to rise from next year to $1.6 million.” (Source: The Point)

    Also, #lobbyists, #GoldenParachutes, the #msm propaganda machine and #PoliticalAdvisors have more influence on politicians than millionaire/corporate hand outs

    It’s a shame that the taxpayers do not have their funding of parties ‘tied’ to specific policies and their resulting legislation — KPI-like incentive. I wonder how such a system would operate…

  20. #DataCenter Tech #Lobbyists Fearmonger in Attempt to Retroactively Roll Back #RightToRepair #Law
    Cisco, IBM, and major #lobbying groups are trying to exempt "#criticalinfrastructure" from #Colorado law
    One issue with this is that “critical infrastructure” is very broadly defined, and could include essentially anything. In practice, the law could essentially repeal huge parts of one of the most important right to repair laws in the #UnitedStates.

  25. This is just one example of ‘think tanks being funded by people with vested interests. In this case it is ‘just' nuclear power. They have become a blight on society, represented by the media (and the BBC in particular) as disinterested experts. They are no such thing - and they are a canker on public debate. See the UK Lawyers for Israel for example = funded by Israel yet purporting to be independent.
