Fighting for Queensland's climate and environment

[Dave Copeman @dcopeman]

This is wonderful news!!! This project in a Ramsar protected wetland should have always been rejected. 10 long years of incredible community campaigns to get to this result!

[Tanya Plibersek @tanya_plibersek]

I announced last week I proposed to block the Toondah Harbour development. This afternoon, the developer withdrew the project. Great news!

Some of you may know Hayley as our tireless Volunteer Coordinator, some may know her as our expert Nature Organiser, and you may even have seen her at ☀️⛈️Woodford⛈️☀️

She's also an amazing nature photographer, and shared these shots from Wallaginji (Lady Musgrave) 😍💚

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Australia Institute and farmers will run full-page ads in leading rural newspapers in all Basin States this week supporting water recovery through voluntary buybacks.

Another important update this morning on our Restoring our Rivers Bill.

[Dave Copeman @dcopeman]

@ianpennaoz @QLDConservation @LEANAustralia No. We are not.

[Dave Copeman @dcopeman]

@tanya_plibersek Great that you were able to meet with us Tanya, we need stronger protection for this incredible River system, including the legislation that allows for such protection.

[Peter Wills - Stop Santos Hunter Gas Pipeline CSG @peterjameswills]

Santos have started new coal seam gas exploration works 20klm west of Gunnedah on the #liverpoolplains today.

The Kahlua farm site has been abandoned for over a decade since last exploration took place & they are starting a new 2 year process, flaring the waste gas. #nswpol

[Market Forces @market_forces]

Japan's mega banks #Mizuho, #MUFG and #SMBC have also pulled out.

Banks have finally lost interest in funding Whitehaven's financially reckless and environmentally ludicrous #coal expansion plans in the midst of the #climatecrisis. 🔥

[Dave Copeman @dcopeman]

Great to see that this renewable energy zone roadmap is out (finally). These REZ plans must involve community, protect nature, have First Nations consent and speed the transition to cheaper cleaner renewable energy.

@PatsKarvelas #tonedeaf why are you giving @PwC airtime to spin their views on housing tax when they are embroiled in a tax dodging scam #auspol

[Dave Copeman @dcopeman]

Great to see cost of living relief on household energy bills, forced up by fossil fuel prices. And investment in energy efficiency. We need more renewables faster to drive down prices #climateaction #budget #auspol

[Tanya Plibersek @tanya_plibersek]

If companies aren’t willing to show how they will protect nature, I’m willing to cancel their projects – and that’s exactly what I’ve done.

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

The new energy transition authority—called the National Net Zero Authority—will deliver a just transition to a net zero emissions economy and ensure no worker or community is left behind.

[Dave Copeman @dcopeman]

Environment minister Tanya Plibersek has just rejected two more Queensland coal mines environmental approvals. This is more great action to address the incredible climate impacts of new coal https://t.co/FV0Lzafxhd

[Merri Action for Forests @merri_forests]

Hot and very cross buns.

Stop logging native forests, it’s a no brainer, even the buns know it.

[Dave Copeman @dcopeman]

@Science_Academy @Nature @ProfMattEngland Thanks for this very concerning research.

[Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy]

BREAKING: A landmark paper, published in @Nature today, warns the deep ocean circulation that forms around Antarctica could be headed for collapse, having a profound impact on marine ecosystems, according to @ProfMattEngland FAA and Dr Adele Morrison.

[Solar Citizens @solarcitizens]

We did it! The Queensland Government has committed to build the CopperString 2.0 transmission line in North Queensland to unlock a massive 6,000 MW of new clean energy potential. Thank you @AnnastaciaMP @MickdeBrenni 🥳🌞
