Here’s the thing: Even with problems of this magnitude, each of us can still find a way to make change. That’s why I’m proud of young people like Alice Mahar, a environmental activist in Melbourne. Read about her and find ways you can help, too: https://t.co/qAHFiBgw6b
The catastrophic fires in Australia are the latest example of the very real and very urgent consequences of climate change. It’s on us to stay focused and protect the one planet we’ve got for the next generation: https://t.co/dqytauPeXf
Mt Tambourine ran out of water.
The school bore ran dry & the kids were sent home.
Water had to be trucked in for the locals.
But water to Coca Cola & other bottlers drawn from local bores continue. David Littleproud is a local member - Minister for Water Resources.

Chickenfeed!
(that's the equivalent of 3 day's franking credit payments)

Great to see the PMs new found enthusiasm for "adaptation and resilience." Unfortunate they completely axed funding to Australia's only dedicated adaptation/ resilience facility, the National Climate Adaptation Research Facility in 2018 #auspol https://t.co/sPnWwsu5zQ
