Knitting Nannas from near and far were in Sydney today to greet the new parliament and say Must Do Better - eg repeal the anti-protest laws, protect water land and air, no new gas and coal

[Marie Flood @MarieFlood3]

Drover's dog reckons stop subsidies and grants to gas and coal mining - tip that money into electrification and renewables

[Marie Flood @MarieFlood3]

Nannas will be outside the court at 9am on both hearing days Wed and Thurs this week ...

The wonderful Dom and Helen - epitomising courage, a strong sense of climate justice and paving the way for peaceful protest - thanks @EDOLawyers you are legends for all of us. #ProtestRights #Democracy @knitnannasSYD @KNAG_HunterLoop @knittingnannas @Midcoast_KNAG

Australians deserve a fair return for the sale of our resources.

This is tinkering around the edges when we need more ambitious reform to capture record oil and gas profits.

It's time to show some courage - we can be so much bolder without threatening investment.

[Eurydice Aroney @eekiemout]

Active and potentially active yarn bombers join us @knitnannasSYD @Midcoast_KNAG @NannasLismore @KNAG_HunterLoop to support brave Nannas from the flood & fire-ravaged NSW as they begin a Constitutional challenge to NSW’s anti-protest laws. Sydney's Supreme Court 9am, 10 & 11 May.

Knitting Nannas in the Supreme Court this week challenging repressive anti-protest laws. "We can’t lose hope. We need to be active participants in the fight for our lives and all life on this beautiful planet." @ChrisMinnsMP

@EuanRitchie1 @DavidPocock There's a cost of living crisis and climate-killing costs are hiking too. I remember the rate of $22,000 per minute being the rate at which taxpayers' money was given to fossil industries. No wonder Mr Chalmers ''can't fund every good idea'' @JEChalmers

[Marie Flood @MarieFlood3]

@DavidPocock is right - leadership fail by NT and Albanese govs. But what about the ABC question: what levers could be pulled to stop Beetaloo. Shale gas so no EPBCA water trigger. There's the legislated emissions target. That'd be a test. @Bowenchris

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Opening up huge new fossil fuel projects in 2023 is morally indefensible.

Governments cannot say they're taking climate change seriously & keep issuing these approvals.

We must take climate science seriously and act now to protect the future of the people and places we love.

Whitehaven is planning to DOUBLE its coal production by 2030 when the science is clear - we must rapidly reduce the use of fossil fuels. Sign the petition: NAB Give Whitehaven Coal the Boot https://t.co/fVg0QC7tKp

Devastating and tragic that Gunnedah koalas are infertile because of chlamydia and will die out soon. Help Save Sydney's Koalas to protect Campbelltown koalas - extinction can happen so quickly. Forever. @TrishDoyleMP

[Save Sydney's Koalas @savesydneykoala]

The same fate waits the healthy koalas of Campbelltown & Appin as companies like @Lendlease & Walker Corp, @campbelltownnsw , @NSWDPE seem to intentionally misread scientific info & obfuscate

Zadie Smith on British climate deniers. Let's not cringe here - our mob is a big step up? Saying expanding fossils is saving the climate and the future is very special greenwash

[XR Writers Rebel @XrRebel]

"Wealth, in their minds, will always solve the problems that wealth creates" Zadie Smith on the psychology & motivation of climate change denial, delivered on the doorstep of the place where denialism was invented.

Go for a big number Mr Chalmers, Qatar will get $76 billion in energy taxes this year. "Global energy giants have never been more on the nose" @JEChalmers https://t.co/6oNnAY76NB via @ABCaustralia

[Prof. Euan Ritchie (@euanritchie.bsky.social) @EuanRitchie1]

Continuing to play political games at the expense of the disadvantaged is seriously, seriously messed up, Katy, and Labor. I heard you today saying you understand how hard it is and you feel for people, etc, etc. Well, fix it, *raise the damn rate*! https://t.co/Mv76cFRyCT

[Marie Flood @MarieFlood3]

Better get on with it:
The people gonna rise like the water
we're gonna face this crisis now
I hear the voice of my great grand-daughter
saying keep it in the ground

[Marie Flood @MarieFlood3]

@TonyHWindsor @peters_malcolm @RoseBJackson @djbuck99 @JohnEClements But it doesn't protect us from shale gas mining @TonyHWindsor how did that happen? A promise from the ALP to fix this should be a high priority for us all?
