It’s something you don’t give up easily. As long as you keep giving us a battle to fight, we will show up every day, Mr Morrison. This is a promise. One that may be angry, drained and fatigued, but a promise nonetheless.
It’s hardly a choice, rather a responsibility. A responsibility to our families. To our friends. To those who have lost so much at the hands of the climate crisis. It’s a duty.
Prime Minister, I don’t know what you think this whole climate action thing is, but if you were wondering, it’s not a passion project. It’s not an extracurricular activity, or community service hours for the resume. It’s not something to add to the university application.
The emotional climate activist trope has been used to death, Prime Minister. But I’m so, so panicked when I think about my future.
I want to look at you and feel a sense of safety, a sense of hope. I want more than just empty words, more than just “politician answers.”
@ScottMorrisonMP Knowing that these are the people at the mercy of the climate crisis, would you still feel pride at the way you’ve handled it as our leader?
If this were your life, would you still have brought a lump of coal into parliament? After all, don’t be afraid, right? Don’t be scared?
Would you have been proud to lead one of the only countries at Glasgow that failed to sign up to a pledge to phase out coal-fired power?
I have seen my community in India on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Facing a life of climate change related diseases. Where, at any point, floods or fires or even major winds could destroy everything their life is composed of.

The Federal Court's overturning of @sussanley 's duty of care last week shattered me. But what shattered me more was when I walked over to one of my lawyers after, who was standing alone.
She said "I'm sorry."
So today an open letter I wrote to Scott Morrison was published in The Saturday Paper. It's the hardest thing I have ever had to write - here is some of it.
“Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine”
“We live in each other’s shelter”
On this #StPatricksDay#Ireland 🇮🇪 stands in solidarity with the people of #Ukraine
We are thinking of you today
@MarkMcGowanMP You’re a great leader, courageous & willing to make tough decisions in the best interests of Western Australians! Thank you @MarkMcGowanMP
“Getting vaccinated against this coronavirus is an act of love. It means you’re showing love to your family.”
A powerful message from Pastor Ray Minniecon on why we should all get #vaccinated.
Three new cases in Melbourne, which aren't in one place. Reportedly linked to the Sydney outbreak. It beggars belief after all we have learned & endured that NSW is still not going harder in suppressing the current outbreak. You don't play games with #COVID19Aus.
The latest evaluation of the Choices service, delivered by @RuahCS and funded by WAPHA, has highlighted its positive impact. It connects those discharged from ED or exiting justice services with social and mental health support. Read more: https://t.co/KzGzHiv0Mm
