Australia continues to approve new coal & gas projects and expansions >> current legislation protects the interests of fossil fuel companies at the cost of the environment.

Funding Australia’s renewable transition isn’t ‘picking winners’ – it’s securing our future. #auspol

Half of Earth’s loss of forests occurred from 10,000 years ago to 1900, the other half or 1.1 billion hectares have been lost since 1900.

Part of this loss, about 100 million hectares, has occurred in the more recent time period of 2000 to 2018.https://t.co/LXuiiDk5YS

Heartbreaking news from the Great Barrier Reef as it faces the most severe coral bleaching event on record. Right now, coal and gas corporations can get away with building projects that pollute the GBR. 🧵1/2

My petition to make HECS debts easier to pay off just reached a quarter of a million signatures, which is just incredible.

Thank you to every single person who’s signed it.

The government must not ignore such a significant call for change.

“We need to recognise that the benefits the forests provide are priceless. We don’t need to monetise the carbon in the forests, we just need to stop the logging," - Susie Russell, veteran forest campaigner #auspol

Australia can expect approx. 60,000 jobs in solar panel manufacturing and $82 billion in turbine tower production if Australia becomes a clean energy superpower, according to a new report by @theamwu @CAN_Australia & UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures.

The Middle Arm project would unleash a $1.4 billion tonne carbon bomb into the atmosphere.

Not only does the Federal Government support the project, it is subsidising it to the tune of $2.4 billion.

The Federal Government should not be funding Middle Arm.

"Unless a moratorium is declared on fossil fuel export projects, not much else will get done and the government’s targets for both renewable energy and housing construction will fall disastrously short." #auspol

Another day another bill bulldozed through the House by the major parties. Despite me moving an amendment to stop it this now curbs consultation with First Nations People & gives gas companies a free pass to avoid proper environmental consultation. #auspol

Yanis Varoufakis, Greece's former finance minister, today at the NPC speaking common sense. There is no need for UNRWA funding to be paused, ensuring people starve, while investigations are underway. Australia's support for this genocide will have long lasting implications.

Why was 2023 so extreme? The data is finally in!

The world absorbed a lot more sunlight, as less was reflected.

While greenhouse gases kept most of the additional heat in.

Add El Niño and all temperature records shattered!

🚨Australia is 10 yrs behind because the Coalition did everything it could to stop & then slow energy transition down. It is still desperately trying to slow down transition to clean energy. It wants to keep coal, with no credible 2030 or 2035 emissions reduction target. #auspol

We all know that plastic is now everywhere, but the great drifts of it on the world’s beaches barely scratch the surface of the plastic pollution problem

Would this be the same Coalition that brought you Robodebt and threw billions at crooked “consultants” and the shonky contractors to run the Manus and Nauru concentration camps ? That Coalition ? https://t.co/Whd21m1kut
