Lennon in Winter #TasLabor puts profit over planet by supporting fish farms in Macquarie Harbour knowing he’s sending Maugean skate to extinction. But if there are jobs in species extinction, he’s right onto it. #Logging #SwiftParrot #OrangeBelliedParrot #RobbinsIs #politas

HESTA: your members are watching closely 👀

Appalling. so cruel. so fucked up. if not now, when? how much longer will the Albanese government keep people living in poverty? Absolutely indefensible. Poverty is a political choice. I don’t want to hear @AlboMP talk about his log cabin story anymore. raise the damn rate now!

Issac River could become host to Australia's newest coal mine, with a decision due from Tanya Plibersek on April 28.
The mine would produce 3 million tonnes of coal & destroy the habitat of vulnerable species including koalas & greater gliders.

The story isn’t that Dutton is “staking all on The Voice” the story is that Dutton is treating the lives of Indigenous People with utter contempt and making them just political pawns.

"Fossil fuel groups hit extra hard by divestment pledges that go viral"
Pledges by investors including sovereign wealth funds, trusts and foundations... have an outsized impact on carbon-intensive companies, wiping billions off their market value

A Republican state representative asked Rep. Justin Jones what he means by the chant “No Justice, No Peace.”

His response is worth hearing in full:

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares

.@market_forces making it easier for ASIC and consumers showing which super funds are invested in climate wrecking companies https://t.co/IP84yt4IcM

[Adam Verwey @AdamVerwey]

Great to see ASIC taking action against super fund greenwashing. Mercer Super isnt the only one - lots of super funds claiming ethics & sustainability but their portfolios contain fossil fuel co's, armaments, gambling etc https://t.co/eQfjNdTRUL

[Stop Adani @stopadani]

It's been 1 month since #Hindenburg accused coal giant #Adani of the "largest con in corporate history". How are things looking for Adani? Ahem...

Here’s a round up of bad news rocking Adani’s land-grabbing, climate-wrecking, ecosystem-destroying coal empire this week. 🧵

I urge everyone to ring their Super Fund to establish how much they have. Very few people have $2m. Check it out: you will not be affected by proposed changes. #LNP are speaking for Uber rich, not middle Australia. #LNP are lying again. It is franking credits Mark 2. #auspol

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Safeguard Mechanism (its key policy to reach its 2030 emissions target) - and it's surprisingly honest and informative.
