If deaths from extreme heat, millions of people in coastal areas hit by flooding doesn't worry our leaders, maybe this will: "losses in property value could increase to $611bn by 2050, rising to $770bn by 2090". What's a real climate target? No new coal and gas. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

DEMOCRACY MANIFEST!

(Bird-) dogging Dutton on Day 1

Rising Tide disrupts the first event of Opposition Leader, Peter Dutton's election campaign, at Brisbane’s XXXX Brewery! The courageous Natalie brandished a banner: “NO NEW NUCLEAR OR GAS”. Asking, “Nuclear & gas will drive up energy bills. Why are you lying to the Australian people?”

Last night, John and Cate snuck into the private Liberal Party fundraiser in Canberra and disrupted Dutton's speech. John yelled, "Why are you lying to the Australian people about the cost of nuclear?" as he was dragged out by security. All strength to these legends for speaking truth to power.✊

These folks are so amazing. The Coalition's pro-fossil coal extension plans are going to be cripplingly expensive, if implemented. In terms of dollar costs, and the costs of air pollution and GHG emissions, too.

We just shut down a press conference of Federal Shadow Treasurer, Angus Taylor! Shaun Murray, of Rising Tide asked: "Why are you asking taxpayers to fund nuclear power, when it's going to drive up energy prices?" Nuclear is too risky. Too costly. Too late. #auspol

Today we interrupted @peterduttonmpposts.bsky.social's dribble to call out his dangerous nuclear distraction. At the Sydney HQ of the Lowy Institute, Zack and Nigel held a banner: “NUCLEAR LIES COST US ALL”, and asked “why are you lying to the Australian people about the cost of nuclear?” #auspol

Today in Sydney, Rising Tiders were taking it to NLP's Dutton, whose dangerous nuclear power plan is a stinky distraction to keep coal and gas power stations going and political donations flowing into party pockets www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne... The climate crisis won't stop for his nonsense.

Here's the Rising Tide team taking it to the Treasurer Jim Chalmers again, in close-up www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne... from Sky News

BREAKING: Clancy confronting@JEChalmers post Cyclone budget speech in Brisbane: "Young people of this nation are going to suffer for the rest of their lives. When is labor going to stop funding and approving new coal and gas?" @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social #auspol #ausecon

BREAKING: Two Rising Tide activists have confronted the Treasurer’s post Cyclone budget speech in Brisbane unfurling a banner and asking @jimchalmers the question: "Australia can’t afford worse climate disasters. When will Labor stop new coal and gas?" @AustralianLabor @AlboMP #auspol #ausecon

Well, here we are again! Civil society in the courts fighting another tranche of the Minns Labor Governments draconian anti-protest laws. These laws were rushed through the parliament under false pretences. The laws are a mess, people want them repealed! This is another Minns mess.

A historic day at Newcastle Local Court today where 63 people arrested during last year's Blockade pleaded NOT GUILTY to the harsh anti-protest laws they were charged with. Another 66 people will plead not guilty tomorrow. The Labor govt arresting climate protesters won't stop the climate crisis. 🤷‍♀️

“The ALP needs to learn that you can’t arrest your way out of the climate crisis” - instant classic line from Alexa Stuart You can support @risingtideaus.bsky.social legal fund here: chuffed.org/project/supp...
