Colette Harmsen is in prison for defending the planet during the unfolding global climate emergency. It is still a criminal offence to attempt to protect what environment we have left. Poignant @jonkudelka

The reason I commit these offences is because I am terrified of the worsening climate crisis - Colette Harmsen. Tasmanian court sentences environmental activist to jail for first time in more than a decade https://t.co/opLojiObU4 #politas
The gaoling of environmental activist Colette Harmsen for three months is manifestly unjust.
Ms Harmsen’s sentence is an indictment on the politicians that voted for Tasmania’s draconian anti-protest laws. They should hang their heads in profound shame.
Dr Harmsen - a nature defender and scientist. Imprisoned today because governments keep wanting to kill Swift Parrots, Masked Owls & Tasmanian Devils while destroying their habitat. Wake up! We are in a climate & extinction crises. @jeremyrockliff @tanya_plibersek
People know that it should not be a crime to protect nature and our planet. As Colette said “I do this not because I’m a menace to society, but because I am terrified for the future of this planet” Visit Colette’s website https://t.co/YmM8deSowd
Colette Harmsen - first Tasmanian woman imprisoned for environmental protest. 3 month sentence for defending native forests and takayna. Prosecution tried to apply new anti protest laws, which failed. More to come on how to support Colette. #politas#doinitfortheforests
Radio interview I did for #RainforestInformationCentre and Melbourne Rainforest Action Group @MRAG2020 about Ecuador's latest #rightsofnature win, Australian companies behaving badly & resistance against mining expansion @3CR https://t.co/aM5cARDYRU
As #GinaRinehart is awarded the Order of Australia🤮a reminder: Ecuadorian people don't want Australian mining companies like hers abusing their human rights and wrecking their land, water & livelihoods. Land grabbing for profit is not OK.

The Tasmanian govt reached #NetZero off the back of hydro dams and 'sustainable' forestry years ago, yet we still plunder the forests and have foreign companies set up tailing dams in ancient forests.
Green Extractivism and dodgy carbon accounting go hand in hand in Tas.
BHP tipped to hold 10% of Australia's total share market value when it comes back to being single listed.
Caveat, BHP/Woodside is now Australia's biggest fossil fool energy producer
Yay for mega capitalism in 2022

@24HorasTVN Bien que se preocupen por el refugio ecológico. En mi comunidad, Intag ECUADOR Codelco quiere minar en un bosque primario nuboso con decenas de especies de animales en peligro crítico de extinción. En ninguno de los dos lugares se debe permitir la minería.#salvemosIntag
Después de derrumbar la Ley de Zonificación Minera que pretendía habilitar la megaminería en Chubut, Argentina, el pueblo continúa firme frente a la casa del gobernador diciendo NO al plebiscito! No aceptarán una consulta porque ya lo decidieron #NoEsNo
