Oil & gas steel platforms like skyscrapers in our Bass Strait oceans since ‘60s, decommissioned. Exxon Mobil & Woodside remove your junk. We don’t want your fake ‘artificial reefs’ with arsenic & mercury ‘traces’ but our clean seabed back. Thanks & go.

Daaaamn ... you ladies are awesome! Keep those kayaks afloatin', those needles aclackin' & the magic you knit, alive & well! Can we donate somewhere for 'wool' supplies? 🤷‍♀️

This is a good read by Jo Chandler in The Monthly about the Knitting Nannas. "they should start a campaign to get seatbelts in paddy wagons" ... lol Nice work @jochandler.bsky.social #auspol #KnittingNannas

Thanks @1earthmedia.bsky.social. After years reporting the horror story of climate science, warnings & impacts, I really needed to find the stories of Nannas Dom & Helen, & all the activists I interviewed for this story. Healing and inspiring.

OMG Perth Christmas gonna be hot You've been warned A 3 & 1/2 bikini Xmas 🤯 40°C max / 26°C min In West Australia, news editors see record temperatures as a chance for bikini photos Not an opportunity for good journalism to foster discussion on fate of our planet in relation to #climatechange 🎄

NSW people should be protesting this en masse. The fascists can't arrest all of you, and they need to know they are only in power if you tolerate them. #auspol #Australia #standup

Congratulations to the WA Mt Clare Tingle Community Blockade. Keep protestin' it CAN make a difference. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Love the Sydney Knitting Nannas Christmas video! #climate #protest #climatejustice bsky.app/profile/knit...

Agreed.

Nannas @Town Hall event for Bondi solidarity today with 200 others concerned at politicisation of the tragedy. Respectful, moving speeches. Zionist war criminals Netanyahu, political opportunists Segal, Frydenberg, Ley, Hanson shown as disrespectful & condemned as exploiting the tragedy not healing.

What do we want? - "Social cohesion!" When do we want it? - "Just after we finish booing our political opponents at a memorial service!" That one might need a bit more work.

Albo had already given $36.5 M plus free policing of Jewish schools & synagogues prior to the shooting.

NSW Greens MP Kobi Shetty liked our knitted Xmas lights. But enough frivolity -they are back in Parliament tomorrow deciding on restrictions to our inalienable right to protest in our democracy. Rally tomorrow 5pm Town Hall for details.

Hey here’s some Xmas cheer!

Happy holidays Nannas and friends. Thanks for paddling out with us in 2025. We occupied native forests, staked out coal and gas mines, inspected critical waterways, hauled large placards across town dressed as swift parrots and even got some knitting in! Xmas video in the mail, then we nap.

Nannas Elizabeth & Janet deliver Seasons Greetings to Ms Kobi Shetty, MP for Balmain, acknowledging her work for the Right to Protest & her support for community groups working to protect the climate & environment. We included our Nanna-knitted Xmas light decorations to help keep emissions low.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

An important piece. With dark forces already seeking to exploit this horrific event we must be extremely vigilant to avoid this: “Calls are already rising for attacks on peaceful protest, free speech and freedom of assembly”.

NSW Premier Chris Minns spits the dummy on Net Zero Commissions recommendation to stop coal mining expansion in NSW "We're not going to make that ruling, and I'm not going to make that promise," he said. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Oh dear the Australian Minerals Council REALLY wants us to know that they pay tax. See this ⬇️ one page ad in The Aus last week? An explainer or their version of an expletive following a well publicised call for them to pay 78% on coal export profits? @risingtideaus.bsky.social

Before the Federal Court this week Regis Resources challenged the former environment minister's decision to protect part of its McPhillamys Gold Project from development. Wiradyuri elders gave evidence of Dreaming stories in support of the order but their authenticity challenged. A decision to 👀.

Lots of good news this week. Click on image for more. knittingnannas.org/2025/12/12/g...

Net Zero or ground zero for NSW government who’ve approved 100% of the eight coal mine expansions put before it since being elected with 18 further coal expansions currently proposed. www.lockthegate.org.au/clear_findin...

Better than sixpence in your Xmas pudding here’s the NSW Net Zero Commission warning that “continued mine expansions are “not consistent” with climate goals and require urgent regulatory intervention”. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

The appeal against the former Minister for Environment ruling that accepted evidence of a First Nations Dreaming story to halt a gold mine site near Blayney, NSW continues today. 2nd day of hearings in Sydney’s Federal Court of this highly significant ruling. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Westpac Bank has just arranged a $1.54 billion bond for Santos – one of Australia’s most polluting gas companies 😠. Join us today out front of their Annual General Meeting Thursday 11 December 9am, rally with @marketforces.org.au 220 Pitt Street. Tell Westpac to 🛑 funding #FossilFuel expansion.

Probably just a coincidence that the list of Australia's new fossil fuel projects will come out on the Friday before Xmas. #takingoutthetrash #Auspol #climate #transparency

Knitting Nannas supporting Wiradyuri heritage protection - at Section 10 hearing brought by Regis Resources against the Minister in Sydney Federal Court today. Yindyamurra, respect land water and elders. Protect BilaBula.

It was my experience of deforestation in Borneo when I reached my tipping point. I stopped flying, became vegan, became an activist with @scientistsforxr.earth, and left academia to become a filmmaker. Storytelling might have more impact than my work in science. My film: fires-and-fascism.co.uk

Come show support for Wiradjuri elders tomorrow in Sydney. Nannas will meet outside the court at 9.30am.

Nannas are preparing to make our Christmas video. Watch out for it! knittingnannas.org/2025/12/09/n...
