Murujuga traditional custodians are calling on the federal government to immediately release the conditions attached to its 40-year extension of Woodside's North West Shelf gas project and want @MurrayWatt to visit their Country. Is that too much to ask?

Australians lose $35 billion to gambling every year. In this episode we speak with Prof. Samantha Thomas who expose the industry’s "tobacco-style" playbook that targets kids and normalises addiction. We discuss the landmark Murphy Report’s push for a total ad ban, and why the government is choosing to protect vested interests over Australian kids.

Listen at the link in bio/below and email your MP letting them know you support a full gambling ad ban.

In a move that could empower Australian consumers, new laws will force companies to declare their climate risk.

“What this really is about is companies making decisions that will either make or break our chances of having a stable global warming outcome. Most importantly it should drive companies into alignment with global #climate goals,” Will van de Pol, chief executive at Market Forces told @choiceaustralia.

#Australia needs to take the wheel of a well-signposted #gas decline and double down to meet emissions goals and protect #consumers from higher prices.. https://t.co/1ydXMjwDH2

Finally, all big Australian companies must disclose how their businesses are aligned with sustainability and climate goals.

@JarniBlakkarly at @choiceaustralia asks the big questions. Will Australia’s big polluters and investors step up?
