Labor has just approved 116 new gas wells to be fracked by Santos in QLD.

Not only that, Tanya Plibersek has given them the green light to operate until 2077.

This isn’t what "ending the climate wars" looks like.

Labor is making the climate crisis worse.

Details the truth about the ‘phoney corporatism’ of the APS: cover-ups of illegal actions; planting of false stories; the smearing of genuine victims; the outrage of consultants advice ignored. https://t.co/aHc9aPYbQJ

I second this. I use Trove every day as part of my work researching educational history, government policy… it’s a truly wonderful resource, FREE for family historians, school students, journalists, everyone! Please SAVE TROVE & ensure ongoing funding.

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

The proposed Narrabri Pilliga gas project is unwanted and unwarranted. It should be rendered illegal by the revised EPBC Act.

It’s time for our government to walk the walk.

‘Shameful day for Australia’: Santos given green light to drill 850 gas wells in native forest https://t.co/ZWJMBAMr3I

This is your Australia @AlboMP Violet does not belong in jail. Peaceful protestors should never be imprisoned. Anti-protest laws must be repealed Australia-wide. Climate activist who blocked traffic on Sydney Harbour Bridge jailed for at least eight months https://t.co/KrcWfjz1zA

[Jono La Nauze @JonathanLaNauze]

This has flawed me. A protestor thrown into jail for a year for blocking traffic. Horrific for Violet. Devastating for democracy. There is nothing liberal about a Liberal party that makes this happen. And if Labor stand by they are just as bad. https://t.co/Fn89sHvd2S

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

VicForests keeps being found illegally logging. Somehow those involved stay out of jail. This decision has me so angry and despairing for our democracy and the future.

[Prof. Euan Ritchie (@euanritchie.bsky.social) @EuanRitchie1]

Please stop insulting our intelligence, Tanya. Unless @AustralianLabor sets an emissions reduction target in line with what climate scientists say is urgently needed, the reef and so many other ecosystems are in deep, deep trouble.

[SERCA @forestsforlife]

You weren't elected for this! We see first hand the catastrophic damage native forest logging does to wildlife, waterways and increasing bushfire risk. For export woodchips! @AlboMP and @MurrayWatt

[Christine Milne AO @ChristineMilne]

The Great Barrier Reef is dead and dying. This is all just spin. Australian Governments for three decades have been informed of consequences of coal, gas expansion and rising temps. The age of climate consequences sees a dead reef and coal ships still plying its waters. #auspol

[Fern Cadman @fernocad]

Fed Labor making it pretty clear they stand for forest destruction, animal extinction and carbon up in smoke. All based on lies that Aus native forests are needed for timber when actually they are wood chipped for paper. Let’s create jobs built on plantation forestry not ecocide.

[Lighter Footprints @LiteFootPrints]

Seismic testing for oil and gas offshore, with terrible impacts on local commercial fishing industry, devastating results on marine life.
No justification in destroying marine life, while looking for more oil and gas that we know we cannot burn and stay under 1.5 to 2 degrees C.

Great Barrier Reef is endangered by climate change.

Meanwhile Australian governments (federal, QLD, NSW, WA and NT) and are supporting over 100 huge new coal and gas projects that will pump billions of tonnes of emissions into the atmosphere.

They really don’t give a damn

[Andrew Laird @ReclaimAnglesea]

.@tanya_plibersek It’s no answer to criticisms about Australia’s custodianship of the Great Barrier Reef to argue that the @AlboMP government is better than its #LNP predecessor.

That’s a very low bar, and the Reef is clearly endangered on numerous fronts. 🆘

#auspol #ABCNews

[Christine Milne AO @ChristineMilne]

Here we go again. @tanya_plibersek says the Govt has ‘engaged in constructive dialogue’. Meaning every promise and deal to keep GBR off the list and coal ships going through it. But no amount of deals can stop GBR dying. Global warming is killing the Reef @UNESCO @AlboMP #auspol

[Sophie McNeill @Sophiemcneill]

But if #Australia remains the world’s 3rd largest exporter of fossil fuels, it doesn’t matter how much we try and “protect” the Great Barrier Reef

Australia’s gas & coal exports are what’s killing it #NoNewFossilFuels

[Andrew Laird @ReclaimAnglesea]

.@tanya_plibersek it’s not a reasonable response to the increasingly dire evidence on climate to repeat the mantra that #Labor’s policy is a 43% emissions reduction by 2030.🙈

We are in a climate crisis for goodness sake and the government should act accordingly.
