Southern Sea Country covers the stretch of ocean from the South Aus to Tassie. It's one of the last wild places left on earth but right now it's threatened by fossil fuels. It is too wild to drill - lend your voice to protect this beautiful place forever! https://t.co/pUiyHzspyx

Ever heard of the Bonny Upwelling? It's an epic phenomena that provides nutrients to marine life in Southern Sea Country (SA - TAS), including the rare pygmy blue whale!🐳This pristine area is worth protecting from fossil fuel expansion - read more here: https://t.co/Wxa6K8EqxA

We stand with Violet and those courageously speaking truth to power. We condemn her disproportionate sentence that is a direct result of the power and influence the fossil fuel industry wields over our politicians. We call for her immediate release 🧵 3/3

The NSW Premier said, “If protesters want to put our way of life at risk then they should have the book thrown at them.”

@Dom_Perrottet - what about the risk the climate crisis puts us all in? What about communities on the frontline? 🧵2/3

Climate activist Violet Coco has been sentenced to 15 months jail after she blocked 1 lane of the harbour bridge for 25 minutes in April. In the same 25 minutes, the Govt handed $553,475 to fossil fuel companies🧵 1/3

NEWS ALERT: PEP 11 IS DEAD! 🎉🎉🎉 Drilling for oil & gas off the coast of Sydney to Newcastle will no longer go ahead - a huge win for our planet and people! Massive kudos goes to Surfrider Australia, Save our Coast and Living Ocean for stopping PEP11!

[Ben & Jerry's Australia @BenAndJerrysOz]

Our stance on climate change and our ice cream is one in the same: if it's melted, it's ruined! We are extremely disappointed with the Government voting against @zalisteggall's Climate Bill in parliament yesterday. We're demanding urgent action - join us! https://t.co/X0RkT7Ad43

[Ben & Jerry's Australia @BenAndJerrysOz]

The second Bill is the Climate Change Bill - this Bill creates an important road map for embracing a rapid transition to a low carbon economy. Importantly, it will ensure critical climate action is taken THIS DECADE as we cannot afford to wait! (3/3)

[Ben & Jerry's Australia @BenAndJerrysOz]

The first Bill is to #STOPPEP11 - which is a permit to drill for fossil fuels, oil & gas just off the coast of Sydney to Newcastle. PEP11 would spell disaster for our coast and it needs to be stopped (2/3)

[Ben & Jerry's Australia @BenAndJerrysOz]

Today, two important Climate Bills were introduced in Parliament by MP @zalisteggall. These two Bills are crucial in the fight for climate justice for our planet, communities and oceans. We need these Bills to pass (1/3)

The upcoming COP26 in Glasgow isn’t just a big global climate meeting. It’s also a chance for Australia to actually commit to real action! This COP, we need our leaders to commit to cutting our emissions this decade. Dig into the details!

#Budget2021 is a cash splash for gas companies at the expense of communities and climate, handing an additional $104.3 million to the gas industry. Our statement here: https://t.co/5rJkuv7V2j #FundOurFutureNotGas
