Energy Justice - what is it, and why does it matter?
So, when environmentalists mention "energy justice", what is it they're really talking about, and why can't they give you a simple answer? If you look up Energy Justice, you get something filled with jargon that reads something along the lines of, “a multi-layered, human-centric theoretical approach that challenges injustice and inequality in the energy sector”.

Well you’ve probably heard the phrase, “a just and fair transition”, which is about looking after people and communities in industries that are destined to suffer major disruption as a result of a transition to a carbon neutral or carbon negative economy. Fundamentally that’s about not leaving people behind.

Labor’s HAFF-arsed housing bill
Fusion Party responds
The ALP has passed an underwhelming $10bn Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) that is designed to do as little as possible. As a one-off payment, $10bn would be wildly inadequate, but this is not even a one-off payment. The money that will actually be spent on housing is the dividends from a one-off $10bn endowment: $0.5bn annually at most.
