The Coalition's nuclear fantasy is a cover for burning more coal and gas. It will mean an additional 2 billion tonnes of emissions - that's 200 years of this country's aviation industry emissions. What a joke! https://t.co/h5FsWBvKlm
Huge news 🎉A Future Made in Australia is on its way, with $13.7bn worth of tax incentives for new green industries on their way that will ensure jobs, investment and certainty for Australia as the world shifts to clean energy. https://t.co/pHxF6QJOBC
Local councils in the Hunter have just signed a renewables deal that will save them, and ratepayers, millions of dollars in energy bills. Renewables are the cheapest form of energy and can deliver benefits to communities across the country https://t.co/KTfdSStGcd
If the quote: “environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening” has ever resonated with you, I encourage you to listen to this chat from Jason Hickel: “why a liberated Palestine threatens global capitalism”
Families with rooftop solar could see their bills cut by $1000 a year with the addition of battery. That's why @renewausforall is pushing for a $5bn investment in household clean energy in the next Federal budget #RenewAustraliaForAll https://t.co/rLSxC0V5U3
Renewables hit new records on Sunday, 75% clean electricity in the grid, with rooftop solar doing the heavy lifting. A massive investment in household batteries and solar would ensure reduced power bills for families while driving climate action https://t.co/UsVJlyclnJ
Unity matters. But it is @AustralianLabor who has abandoned that principle. The question has to be asked - unity with who and for what? If @SwannyQLD is simply saying 'unity with the party above all else' then he is exposing the blatant self-interest of the Labor value of unity..
A statement from our friends at the Australian Firefighters Climate Alliance (AFCA) regarding 24 CFA brigades that are taking strike action over renewable energy development.

Our new research in @sciencemagazine shows that no new fossil fuel projects are needed to meet energy demand in scenarios limiting warming to 1.5°C. We need bans & advocacy to build a #NoNewFossil norm https://t.co/3NvlvhLQqx @OlivierBvK @st_pye @FuelOnTheFire@ucl@IISD_Energy
There are genuine challenges for communities being asked to host clean energy infrastructure. Proper environmental and social planning, quality engagement and generous benefit sharing are critical to building trust and support for the switch to renewables https://t.co/Q2v0LMfQoS
Tasmania is leading the way in working with local communities to map important places in the proposed North West REZ. Governments across the country need to be centring community voices and aspirations in the clean energy plans. https://t.co/FUAL2dXE3H

Students at Melbourne University have renamed Arts West to Mahmoud's Hall in honor of my brother Mahmoud who was killed with 20 members of our family at the hands of the terrorist Israeli army.
ending the weekend spent at the @APAN4Palestine Palestine Solidarity Conference by joining the thousands marching in Naarm for a free Palestine, from the river to the sea 🇵🇸
besides being ill-informed, this discussion is also very dangerous: the violence against the encampments from zionists/the far-right is escalating, and they should not be incited with the idea that if things get worse, the encampments will be shut down.
Renewables are doing the job right now, all over the country. The @ChrisMinnsMP government is backing the wrong horse in propping up ageing coal power stations over more investment in renewables https://t.co/QlsJCnDRkg
The shift to renewables is a once-in-a-century opportunity for Governments to invest heavily in supporting new, green industries that will offer jobs, prosperity and a safe climate for our communities. https://t.co/kOyWi0yKTA
Rooftop solar for the win! More than 3.7 million household and business now have their own solar system, maintaining Australia’s status of the highest per capita installation of household solar in the world https://t.co/rV4XsnjqgP
