Perhaps it's unsurprising that a billionaire has no interest in structural and political change. But @BillGates's belief that he can save the planet with technologies alone, while dissing popular movements and systemic transformation, is as naive as it is arrogant.
@mattjcan So so sad that politicians in Australia still think like this. Matt, we can’t anymore coal because it’s frying our planet and causing bushfires which are burning our homes. When will you understand that?
Good news. Dodgy loan sharks like @Klarna and @afterpay_au need to be regulated so they stop preying on vulnerable customers and saddling them with debt. The model is so consumerist it hurts.
‘Buy now, pay later' firms such as Klarna face FCA crackdown https://t.co/I9S96rp99p
It's pretty simple. A government that backs coal mining is not backing climate action. And every extra lump of coal we dig out and sell, is accelerating the destruction of our planet. Get real @ScottMorrisonMP https://t.co/dAsDc0CCoi
Last, the ties between fossil fuels and the ad and PR industry are extensive, and frequently produce misleading campaigns.
We collected data from tax records and other sources to show as many known recent and current contracts for fossil fuel companies as possible.
@ajamesbragg it is farcical to think property trumps super. Apples and oranges. And if all our pension $ went into property it would inflate an already over inflated, illiquid sector. https://t.co/fmQIKYrFq8
Here’s what will happen to AA. PE folk will say they care, they’ll saunter in and sack lots of staff, they’ll cut benefits, they’ll tighten the belt and flip it over. You’re left with a loveless shell of a company. RIP AA https://t.co/YpWjuFkSwm
Well said @emfarrelly. I live in London now but when I visit my home, Sydney, seeing Packer’s bastion of gambling looming over the skyline almost makes me cry 😭
Opinion: Broadway's Central Park shows how a little courage and imagination can enrich even a crass and careless town such as Sydney. Barangaroo, by contrast, glowers darkly on our shores, shadowed and ominous | @emfarrelly https://t.co/I7rLCFlnhh
@Dom_Perrottet and @AndrewConstance as if you even know what a rave cave is? Maybe a few hours in the dark bopping to some techno would help you realise that white bay is a beautiful relic of Sydney’s past. A nightclub would be a wonderful way to honour it https://t.co/COT0vEHi6k
We are behind you on this @MayorDarcy. We should look to London for a lesson in power stations. @Tate Modern is an architectural and cultural wonder, while Battersea - which has been all but demolished - is a tragedy. Let White Bay be Sydney’s Tate
Yesterday’s announcement from the NSW Treasurer and Transport Minister that they intend to demolish the historic White Bay Power Station is an obscene threat which, if carried out, would constitute a crime against the heritage of Sydney.
Still baffled they are seeing climate action as an issue of cost.... it’s an opportunity, and a huge one. It will cost the economy dearly if we ignore it https://t.co/8oZVt4h9NU
Very sad news from @amnesty that possibly hundreds of innocent Tigrayans have been hacked to death following a siege between the EDF and TPLF https://t.co/NOfNrLvqKm
My lawyers have just sent Murdoch’s Credlin a formal letter demanding an immediate on-air apology for her lies yesterday. She lied that I was “data harvesting” petition signatures. The parliamentary petition site simply makes that impossible.
@edie @CanaryWharfGrp @martingettings If only CW put some of that financial firepower towards its local community, which has the highest child poverty rate in the UK, and a fifth of households have income <£15k. 30 years of CW has not helped the borough, so why should we listen to CW on climate action?
Thinking about Tigray today, a beautiful part of the world on the cusp of war. Let’s hope both sides can find a solution so no more innocent people die.
My choice isn’t on the list ....I am willing to change “how fossil fuel companies take responsibility for the destruction they have caused to our planet”
