Feels good to do some real engineering again. A special team has been creating something massive. Very important. Very unique. Very real. Here’s a sneak peak. Stay tuned. 🤫🚀🛰🏗🌌😎

Thanks to all the great people who joined us for the Moonshot meetup in Melbourne yesterday. 🙏
It was standing room only for most of the night. I think we had equal parts investors to founders, and even an Antarctic station commander!

Here's a stimulus idea - use this time to install solar panels on every public school in Australia. Safe renewable energy, lower bills for schools, which means more money can be put into kids education and lots of jobs for small businesses now.

Today is the 19th day since Australia's 5000 pokies venues were shut. Given we lose $38m a day on the pokies, that's a community stimulus worth $722m so far. Retweet this if you reckon suburban pokies rooms should be the very last thing that resumes as the clamps come off.

There weren't many who believed in Australian startups 11 years ago when I moved back. Mick and Phil were and are true believers saying yes with their money and time immediately. And bonus: Mick was the one who came up with the @startmate name. – at Sydney, New South Wales
12 years ago @pollenizer was incorporated.
Thanks @philmorle @ClareHallam & everyone who made it possible. Companies we started, like @lawpath are still growing strong.
We made tried our best, learned a lot & had a big impact I'm proud of.
Let me know if we helped you.

Scotty very quiet on the announcement that South Australia now has the country's cheapest energy.
Thanks to Jay Weatherhill, renewables and the battery.
Tweeps let's make some noise - he won't like that.

We also should be celebrating that @NSWRFS volunteers have saved 11,000+ homes in horrific conditions. 👏🏻
1,700 homes lost is a tragedy but I’m sure without their work the number would be many times that.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Oh @Barnaby_Joyce 🤦🏼♂️
The irony of calling cheap renewables “a new fad” (invented in 1881 & commercial for 40+ years) & instead arguing for expensive small modular nuclear reactors (not available until 2030 if ever)? Ludicrous. #coalfunded smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

The Australian Federal Government currently have a petition open, and if it gets enough signatures by October 16th it will mean that they will debate declaring a climate emergency in the lower house.

2 photos, 12 months apart.
2018: One girl, Stockholm
2019: ~4-10 million people, 100s of global cities, every continent. Possibly the largest global protest ever.
Power of one.
From here? Either things change or it will grow.
Unite behind the science. #ClimateStrike 🌱🌏
