The govt has halted enviro watering due to bureaucratic incompetency All too often we witness the environment as collateral damage in this absurd situation The morally correct decison needed to happen yesterday www.coonambletimes.com.au/concern-for-... www.coonambletimes.com.au #Environment #Water

The report suggests Nature's worth to the Australian economy is $511 Billion - The govt IS failing to invest enough to protect this vital asset, considering it's currently holding back vital environmental flows in NSW #CEWH #DCCEEW #Water #MDB #MacquarieMarshes www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

This is a great win for First Nations. Well done #MLDRIN ! Fancy the Minister approving a plan she hadn't read. Justice Stewart also ordered that information provided by First Nations remain confidential indefinitely, likening it to commercial-in-confidence. nit.com.au/01-09-2025/1...

If you missed the @abcnews Media Watch story on whistleblower Richard Boyle, it is posted below & well worth a watch Whistle in the dark www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/e...

The C'wealth Environmental Water Holder has made a decision which will have catastrophic effects on the RAMSAR listed Macquarie Marshes, based on a legal advice he has NEVER seen or questioned. This is the dystopian world we are now living in. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

It is now considered illegal to have water in the rivers because bureaucratic incompetence has conflated metering with measurement. It’s devastating the environment has to become collateral damage in this absolutely bizarre situation. westernplainsapp.com.au/NewsStory/co...

Should read: "Rivers being punished for being allowed to flow past big irrigation pumps." www.watoday.com.au/environment/...

This horse shit from the pro-Israel lobby is, as usual, horse shit. There is no "spat". What on earth are Jillian & her mates on about? A "spat" is a squabble between two parties. Two parties. There is only one party arguing here - Israel. And there is only one aggressor here - Israel.

Bureaucracy is actually holding the environment to ransom - This is a prime example of how big end of town lobbying can change legal definitions to suit their own agenda. This is a new low - it is sabotage - maladministration and unlawful, and will have catastrophic consequences. t.co/7lylJGWDXu

NRAR, Australia's National Resource Access Regulator, has paused all environmental water for the Murray Darling Basin. No environmental flows means no water for the fish or animals. Cotton Barons have been pushing for this for a long time. Get angry. 😡

This is outrageous - bureaucracy bowing to big irrigation again -changing definitions to suit the big irrigation agenda. This is unlawful, it's maladministration and will have a catastrophic effect on RAMSAR listed wetlands such as the Macquarie Marshes. www.dcceew.gov.au/cewh/resourc...

Have your say on proposed changes to gas and pipeline regulations and guidelines for NSW. Consultation closes 7.9.25

Australia is a very wealthy country for the very wealthy that is too poor to provide the public with nice things like housing, education, health, transport or a beautiful environment in case it has to offend the wealthy by asking them to pay taxes on our resources. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...

Federal and State Water Acts state that the environment must come first, however bureaucratic mismanagement is not doing it any favours. #CEWH #ICAC #TOORALE

From tonight into the early hours of July 30, Sthn Delta Aquariids & the Alpha Capricornids are expected to produce dozens of meteors per hour. They will radiate from the from the constellation Aquarius - sth west horizon but can appear anywhere in the sky.

"it beggars belief that in 2025, the Environment Minister can sign off on massive fossil fuel expansion such as the Woodside NW Shelf gas project without having to consider the massive climate impacts of the pollution it produces." SHY in @croakeynews.bsky.social www.croakey.org/health-exper...

No mention of non existent base flows, lack of connectivity or gross upstream over extraction. Nothing to see here. 🤯 #MDBA Basin evaluation.

So 44% of expected native fish species in the Macquarie-Wambuul River have not been seen in the last five years. Of the other 56%, potentially some have only been seen once in the last five years in the Macquarie Wambuul River. 🤯 #MDBA

The MDBA has released its Basin Plan Evaluation report. You will need to drill down & read the 30+ supporting evidence documents first before the white-washed over view. Basin ecosystems are in decline and unless action is taken now, they face collapse. mdba.gov.au/publications...

AS IF Jillian Segal wasn't aware of who her husband donated money too. Another load of bollocks @tonyburkemp.bsky.social This is a major conflict of interest. The optics are horrendous. #abc730 #antisemitismenvoy

“The reality is of course, the Israeli propaganda machine is a highly organised movement that has been well under way since the middle of last century. It's slick, it's coordinated & it’s designed to do two things - silence any dissent & terrify any other person or organisation from doing the same”

“The stupidity of half measures and polite incrementalism is increasingly hard to bear. Decades of wilful ignorance has led to weak climate policy that currently gives the world a 90% chance of warming between 2.3-4.5°C by 2100, with a best estimate of 3.6°C.” @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

The fed govt have decided in their infinite wisdom that the gas pipeline facilitating the Narrabri Gas Project will not impact the environment or biodiversity along its 833km path. Nor will Hunter Gas Pipeline Pty Ltd have to mitigate for any possible impacts. This is also a complete joke #DCCEEW

The federal Environment Minister #SenatorMurrayWatt has quietly approved an 833km gas pipeline to enable the Narrabri Gas Project to proceed. This is disgraceful. What a joke it is that he is Minister for the Environment #shame #Ministeragainsttheenvironment reneweconomy.com.au/santos-gets-...

Seriously, what a load of bollocks @abcnewsbot.bsky.social, you find a couple of social media active farmers who are whinging bc their parents are about to be taxed an extra 15% bc collectively they will have more than $6M in super? Way out of touch. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

It is absolutely derelict of our govt & its bureaucracy if they knowingly omitted a refund clause from Aust's $4.7B payment to the US, and not consider that a change in Presidency could be a huge risk to this foolish deal. #AUKUS #auspol abc.net.au/news/2024-06... via @abcaustralia.bsky.social

Murray Watt knew the World Heritage bid would be under threat days before his approval of Woodside’s NW Shelf gas plant. It’s laughable that he is the Enviro minister considering he’ll be lining up the Browse gas field next. Credit Mike Seccombe ⁦@thesaturdaypaper.com.au #auspol

We've never known a project so widely opposed from the start, the huge number of subs lodged in objection at every step yet magically it's waved through. I was naive to think the NNTT would be on the right side of history. www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/gomeroi...

This is good news. Divided they fall. Both parties need a complete clean out, including Littleproud and Ley. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

The Qld Govt is defunding the EDO reducing the community's ability to access lawyers to defend their environment. Nature needs a legal voice now more than ever, which is why a generous supporter has offered to match every donation up to $10,000 until we reach our goal of $150,000. climate.edo.org.au

“Financial giant Macquarie Group says there will be no reduction in productive capacity at Australia's biggest cotton farm, despite the sale of irrigation water rights worth $73.5 million to the federal government.”

In this week’s Land newspaper- This epitomises the commoditisation of water to the detriment of our river systems, and successive governments are complicit to their demise. QLD will favour exporting water rather than producing food. @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social - or buybacks! Show me the money.😡

The LNP ran a dirty and vindictive campaign against Andrew Gee in Calare, and it still continues even after the election. Congratulation to Andrew Gee for a well deserved win. #Auspol www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

We had a go, Parkes had one of the largest swings against the National Party at 5.2% however it is one of those rusted on National Party seats with little competition.

There is no doubt about loyalty when it comes to rusted on National Party voters, they will support their team no matter how badly they play. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/895756...

The point is that the #LNP is rotten. They need a complete clean out. #auspol

The National Party are soooo accurate with their facts and figures 🤣 Yet people in this electorate still vote them in 🤯 #PuttheNatsLast #Auspol #AusVotes2025

Niki Savva in the Nine papers today claims that the idea to use the Brethrens at polling stations came from inside Dutton's office. Again, the key question is - what have they been offered in return? #auspol
