On a busy day with actual good news, one more piece:
The Vatican just called for our planet's 1.2 billion Catholics to divest from fossil fuel stocks--indeed to 'shun' those companies. It is one of the great moments in a 10-year campaign--thanks to all!

@KathyReid @mozilla @janescowcroft @jofish Let me know if you need volunteers to participate in testing of software, etc.!

[Michelle Watson @mannwatson]

@KathyReid @mozilla @janescowcroft @jofish Thanks Kathy. So this work includes captioning for the hearing impaired? We are yet to find a tool that a) provides accurate captioning and b) can be used effectively during online meetings, so that hearing impaired staff can participate as a natural matter of course.

I warned earlier this week that the Morrison Govt was going to try to cut enviroment protections to give big biz easy access to cut down, dig up and trample the environment in the name of development. Now we have proof. Greens will fight this & fight hard! https://t.co/Yx9YL3Zkxd

Regarding ‘Stay at Home’ rules: We have no desire to penalise individuals who are staying with or meeting their partners if they don’t usually reside together. We’ll be making an exemption. Hope that helps.

Thousands of koala’s have died in the fires and now more are dead because of logging in their habitat.
This woman speaks for all of us who care.
She is right, Australian’s will be ashamed this is happening.
I will raise this is parliament & demand an independent investigation

*New #bushfires video* PM Scott Morrison told @abcnews even if #Australia shut all its coal power stations, the impact on climate change would be minimal because of China. But... Australia emits far more per person than China. And what about emissions from exports?
