@MurrayWatt used to be the Minister for Emergency Management, but with the Woodside gas expansion decision, he will now be known forever as the Minister for Exacerbating Natural Disasters.

It only took a month for @MurrayWatt to become the worst environment minister in Australia's history by approving a 50-year extension to Woodside's North West Shelf gas project.

@australian is a joke. Seriously, this is their headline. Just shows how much of a reactionary spin machine they are. It’s a pity, they used to be a newspaper.

Donald Trump has slammed the guilty verdict in his hush-money trial, claiming the trial was 'rigged and disgraceful' and 'done by the Biden administration in order to wound an opponent'. Follow all the reaction in our live blog https://t.co/0tooVVtjTU

How many negative impacts and insufficient safeguards need to pile up before the Adani coal mine is told to close by the QLD State Government? #auspol https://t.co/fbuBfOL2h3

@COP28_UAE Given that oil and gas abatement 'promises' only cover emissions from production, not the burning of fossil fuels, they are close to meaningless. Seems that COP is captured.

Does the Australia Gov impose a levy on the production of low-density polyethylenes (LDPEs) or soft plastics, that they use the proceeds from to support plastics recycling? If not, why not? #waronwaste #auspol

Those who contract with government should not make political donations. It’s a conflict of interest. It’s not complicated. It can be fixed. It’s time to break the link - a powerful link that erodes democracy & costs us all a great deal. https://t.co/PKU5cspHb0

"Australians will be scratching their heads about how we got to the point where a Labor government is apparently on a go-slow when it comes to poverty reduction." Indeed. https://t.co/OgPnZTS5mD

Oh how I miss Paul Keating. When he was PM, I was highly critical - with good reason. Alas, 8 PMs later, he shines like a bright star in the gutter. https://t.co/EphhIB7PFR

Let’s really tackle climate change. @NAB end finance for new fossil fuels!

[Andrew B. @thejmc]

Why won't the Gov improve the safeguards mechanism given that Climate Analytics modelling suggests they “appear to have significantly underestimated the likely emissions ... and our projections show these are set to soar”? @Bowenchris https://t.co/p8QeyebXwB
