As a climate campaigner in the carbon capital of Aus, in a seat that will likely be retained by a Nationals anti-net zero candidate thanks to preferences, I had my big cry of relief yesterday not long after polls opened because I already knew how we’d voted.
We want action.
Good morning, and it's a good morning indeed!
Australians have voted for bolder climate action and integrity in politics. It is a win for the environment, at a time when nature needs us most.

In a 2012 @APPEA claimed Queensland coal seam gas companies would have paid around $11.2 billion in federal income tax by 2020. They have paid almost none. #APPEAconf
In 2013 Shell claimed that its Prelude floating LNG project would pay $12 billion in taxes over the life of the project. Shell has since acknowledged it will never pay PRRT has paid no income tax since 2015. #APPEAconf
@fbirol@IEA: “Co’s pursuing new fossil developments could end up with stranded assets..these projects may fail to recover upfront costs” ➡️ In Aus the taxpayer is footing these costs not private co’s. When did saddling us with stranded assets become good economic mgmnt? #auspol

@QldGov@MickdeBrenni just signed a RENEWABLE-made hydrogen agreement with @PortOfRotterdam EUs largest seaport. Clear that positioning ourselves as leaders in renewables not obfuscating with ‘clean’ aka fossil-LNG will pay off for Aus. ‘The only clean h2 is green h2’ 👏🌱☀️
“You cannot be a climate leader when you expand extraction” a callout to financial institutions by indigenous women from around the world. A warning the big 4 here in aus would do well to heed @ANZ_AU @CommBank @Westpac@NAB

Climate conscious a bit of a stretch at this early stage but when players like @RioTinto start pulling out of corrupt industry bodies like @QRCouncil it’s a sure sign their loud but fringe presence is being taken less seriously https://t.co/9o7Bqn281T
Global #energy consultancy @WoodMackenzie modelling smashes mid-long term financial viability of an expanded gas industry in Aus https://t.co/Z8ZGTsqFWP so why is govt wasting tax $ propping it up? #auspol#climate
