The Australian government has been urged to prepare for a shift away from thermal coal exports and accelerate green industries after one of its main international customers signed up to close all coal-fired power plants by 2040. #climatecrisis #auspol #coal www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The average electricity price for Australian households was 39 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) between 2023 and 2025, according to the Australian Energy Council. That was only just above the OECD average of 38c per kWh. #climatecrisis #renewableenergy #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A smart govt - or even one with a PM who had a desire to do anything - would be using the LNP rabble to put in place every fucking thing they wanted. Problem is Albanese doesn’t seem to want anything other than power.

The Liberals say they remain committed to the 2015 Paris climate agreement. But this statement also rings hollow. The Paris agreement requires countries to move forward with emissions reduction through a series of successively more significant targets. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It's astounding how much CO₂ we put into the atmosphere each year by burning fossil fuels. For comparison, we all agree that plastic pollution is bad, but the mass of ALL THE PLASTIC humanity has ever produced is only 25% of the CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere in 2025.

Just a reminder - even if the LNP had not decided to dump the net zero target, they would still be irrelevant to what the Govt can do.

Let’s be clear: there is no credible reason to scrap our net zero target. The Liberal party’s decision would be laughable if it were not such a callous act of recklessness. #climatecrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Net zero resonates with young voters, women, urban dwellers and those in teal electorates, whether or not it is pie in the sky. By dropping it, the Liberals have delivered a slap in the face to these voters. #climatecrisis #auspol #LNPfail www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
