Tuvalu passed a historic constitutional reform last week to declare its statehood in perpetuity despite threats of climate change to territory (world's 1st). MP @Simon_Kofe and I share some insights on this significant development for Tuvalu and beyond.

ICYMI: Woodside has obtained from the Court restraining orders against protestors, banning them from commenting publicly about CEO Meg O’Neill

A law intended to protect survivors of family violence is being misused to gag criticism of Woodside’s villainy.

Imagine someone tosses a match into a pile of relatively green, wet wood. What happens? Not much.

Then, imagine they toss that same match into a pile of bone-dry kindling. It sets off a conflagration.

What determines the condition of the wood? Increasingly, it's climate change.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Amid the devastating Maui fires, I see many arguing, "it's weather, arson--anything but climate change."

Let's set the record straight. Climate change doesn't usually start the fires; but it intensifies them, increasing the area they burn + making them much more dangerous. 🧵

@ErnMarkham @EDOLawyers The decision of the NT does have a relationship with the Commonwealth by virtue of the recommendations in the Pepper Review which fall within control of the Commonwealth, particularly a recommendation the “water trigger” apply to NT Gas projects. This, to date, hasn’t occurred.

[David Morris @djmor6]

There’s plenty that’s problematic about the NT Gov’s announcement today that they’ll allow fracking production in the #NTAustralia, particularly with a range of key recommendations from the Pepper Inquiry outstanding.

No one in the NT will benefit from impacts of #climatechange

I'm incredibly proud of the @EDOLawyers team who are representing our courageous clients, the indefatigable Jack Green and Josie Green along with the wonderful team at @EnviroCentreNT

Today the NT Supreme Court is hearing a crucial test case on the calculation of mining security bonds. In this instance the case relates to the McArthur River Mine - but mine rehabilitation and who ultimately carries the cost is a nation-wide issue of real importance.

[Environment Centre NT @EnviroCentreNT]

We’re honoured to be in the Supreme Court today with Jack Green, Josie Green and Borroloola community members over Glencore’s McArthur River Mine, represented by @EDOLawyers.
