All I crave is a good pub screed

The Spin Bin (YouTube playlist, episodes run about half an hour) is a media project from The Australia Institute that responds point-by-point to misleading climate-change-related media interviews with Australian politicians, filling in the background behind the talking points and calling out the straight-up lies.

Australia Institute do good work. I am a big fan of their Chief Economist, Richard Denniss, whose Econobabble is an excellent and instructive - and infuriating - read. In fairness it's the only book about economics I've ever read, apart from the first few interminable chapters of Graber's Debt (I'll finish it one day), but yes.

Anyway, didn't know they had a YouTube channel so I'm off to get my gums around it, cheers flabdablet!

I've been mentally chef's kissing this post title all day.

Thanks for the link to Econobabble. Purchased! Black Inc. does good work too.
