The things that matter most to us this election:
- our treatment of refugees and asylum seekers
- genuine climate change response and re-gearing of the economy towards renewables
- federal anti-corruption commission
- political donations/expenditure reform

As waters lap at the doors of the Opera House, the very last koala dies in a bushfire, & people can't leave their homes because it's well over 50°C, no doubt @QandA will ask 'How did we get here?', with a plucky set of panellists from the IPA, Murdoch devotees & fossil fuel reps.

Positive energy. Net zero by 2050. That’s how you spot when a ‘policy’ is all advertising, no action.

[Climate 200 @climate200]

The Morrison government is spending millions lying to you about their climate action.

And they’re using your money.

It’s time we called Positive Energy for exactly what it is — Positive Bullsh*t. 🐄💩

[Jen York @_Jen_York_]

@iamnatehart @ProfTerryHughes Absolutely this. Clear, conversational, succinct key messages will have the best chance of making an impact in very little time.

@108Oceans @EuanRitchie1 And you went a long way south in the GBR to see it 😔

[David Ritter @David_Ritter]

Hey @ScottMorrisonMP you seem surprised by the catastrophic flooding events.
Can this be because you have been ignoring the warnings about climate change impacts?
Here's a dozen or so expert warnings about increases in storms and floods that you seem to have ignored 🧵: #auspol

PM, today: "Responding to climate change is not just about reducing emissions".

[Narrator: A very large part of responding to climate change IS about reducing emissions – which is why pledges, including the Coalition's are about reducing emissions].

[Climate Council @climatecouncil]

#BREAKING - 37 former emergency services chiefs have blasted the Fed Gvt for failing to heed warnings about the flooding disaster and failure to tackle climate change.

BREAKING now on @Abc730: The federal government did not fund more than $150m in flood mitigation projects sought by state and territory projects, including a "priority" upgrade to Queensland's early flood warning infrastructure

Living and experiencing the #floods in #Mullumbimby was/is the most insane experience of my life.

Still so raw. I lost my home. When it first happened I was trapped in my house and had to break off the door...
Then escaped in my wetsuit w surfboard

This is my experience:

Want to know more about why AGL - Australia’s biggest climate polluter - has been in the news so much this week?
@mcannonbrookes's recent bid to take over the company is the result of a long line of business failures. Here's a 🧵: #auspol #energytwitter

“i have the luxury of not being a politician so i get to speak in facts and science and economics, not fables and stories,” ⁦@mcannonbrookes⁩ told the ⁦@FinancialReview⁩.

This is pretty next level move to tackle climate change by ⁦@mcannonbrookes⁩. https://t.co/tzNwu6oEXB

Saying sorry and keeping all the stolen land and resources is easy; saying I forgive you to the people who stole your land and resources, and who still have them, who tried to commit genocide against you, and who are racist af and not at all sorry, that’s the hardest word to say.

@kayleagil @RedFiddler @vanessa81648173 It’s the equivalent of three slices of bread a day (e.g. Burgen soy lin). I’m also a fan!

[Prof Brendan Crabb @CrabbBrendan]

The extraordinary thing about the crisis we're in was just how obvious the outcome was going to be. Many of our top people, such as the Head of Population Health at The University of Melbourne @enenbee (below) just laid it out for us. Hard to describe the degree of frustration.

[the Juice Media @thejuicemedia]

The Australien Government has made an ad about the policies it's taking to the #COP26 UN Climate Summit in Glasgow, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

@MackayIM Have to agree with everyone else, I don’t think we are returning to our old normal.
