A Ngaarda Media journalist photographed the removal of rock art in Murujuga, on the Burrup peninsula to make way for a $6bn urea plant. She was stopped by police, and the photos seized during a home raid! You can’t make this up. #anotherdayinthecolony

Labor has just approved 116 new gas wells to be fracked by Santos in QLD.
Not only that, Tanya Plibersek has given them the green light to operate until 2077.
This isn’t what "ending the climate wars" looks like.
Labor is making the climate crisis worse.
@PaulMan70983272@jkalbrechtsen The Sami are recognised in the Finnish constitution and have their own parliament which acts as an advisory body to government.
So apparently the most carbon dense forest in the world is not a priority for protection. The Central Highlands of Victoria is in danger of collapse and its omission from this plan as a priority area suggests the government doesn't care.

Beautiful Mountain Ash and Mixed Eucalypt native forests in Victoria are being logged regardless of them being homes to endangered species like Greater Gliders and Leadbeaters Possum,only to be made into paper,cardboard and pallets, over to you @tanya_plibersek stop this madness
BREAKING: The Labor government has just released 46,758 square kilometres of new ocean acreages for oil and gas exploration.
Labor likes to talk big on climate, but when it really matters they’ll do exactly what their fossil fuel donors demand.
Minister Plibersek this morning announced she has rejected the application for ATSIPHA Section 9 protection of sacred Murujuga rock art sites that will be destroyed and desecrated by the Perdaman fertiliser plant at the Burrup Hub in Western Australia.

Watching the trees get destroyed @tanya_plibersek . This is Environmental carnage. Is this the protection you promised us, the care. @savegelorupcorridor
The Victorian Labor Government has just introduced a bill that would see forest defenders slapped with a $21,000 fine (or one year in jail) for trying to protest more logging in our state.
This is completely outrageous. #SpringSt 1/4
Artists are getting a raw deal in Australia.
We currently give tax breaks to property moguls buying their 7th property & fossil fuel companies for diesel trucks.
But artists get ignored.
The @Greens are calling it out. Art deserves our support.

@Greens We all turn to the arts in times of crisis, and it's time we treated them like the essential part of our society that they are.
