'Disunity is death' – but Labor's cowed caucus has a cost too www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

🧶👵 with our signature dish event Welcome Back Pollies (You Can do Better) at NSW Parliament House. We sang and🦻from the #ClimateCrisis frontline about MORE coal mine applications, heatwave impacts, GKNP carve outs etc (see our next newsletter for details). Big 🤗 ❤️ to our 5 new Nannas!

Vale Nanna Heather Goodall who passed away on Jan 29th. A rare human being who gave so much to so many. Sydney Knitting Nannas were honoured to have Prof Heather in our ranks, buoyed up by her environmental research and generosity. See youtu.be/X8ABgidgXao Heather loved and missed (in the beret)👇

Labor: *approves another new coalmine*

Again @abcnewsbot.bsky.social reports “unprecedented” heatwave with no mention of #ClimateChange What’s causing extreme & frequent HEATWAVE? How come the government’s own National Climate Risk accepts the science but continues to fuel HEATWAVE? How bad must it get? Who pays for the consequences?

Why do I get this list of 'hot' topics, when I have these interests ticked. How do I tweak bluesky to get rid of the blooody sport

Almost all salmon in Australia is from Tasmania, and the industry there is essentially unregulated - and dangerously unhealthy. Do not eat it.

Today’s scrappy little gang gang

This is Fairy Falls, just one of many in my 'hood. Aptly named as it's normally the most delicate. Clearly my doggo hasn't caught up with the impacts of the sheer volume of water currently barreling through the mountains at the moment. Remind you of anyone?

It’s all going to get so much worse www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

An example of how NOT to make an applogy.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

Super proud to be part of this group of wild, wonderful, committed women.

Just so we're blaringly clear - Fuck AI. Fuck having to second guess the art you see and want to enjoy, fuck the insidious way they're attempting to normalize it, fuck the way it feels like it has crept into every facet of existence, fuck the theft, the deceit and the problems it causes.

I want a society where we care less about the mental health of a man who is a convicted rapist & more about the health, well - being & safety of the woman who is actual victim of the rape. They should be our priority not protecting the reputation of a perpetrator.

*poisons the atmosphere with coal* “LET THEM BE KIDS!”

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.

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

Big hugs for Nanna Alex who has just made it back to the beach after her arrest. She’s here with @risingtideaus.bsky.social and says she decided to take direct action to stop the coal ships because as a Professor of Public Health she knows the risks. Wake up #auspol #RisingTide #ClimateAction

Keystone cops

How many Nannas does it take to stop a coal ship? A: a lot less than this. #RisingTide #ClimateAction

Newcastle Port now closed to coal ships! Wish we had drone footage of 5 Nannas in a tinny breaching 100m exclusion zone in an ‘exciting back &forth with police boats’. (Observers report). No arrests. Harbour authorities closed the port to coal ships. @risingtideaus.bsky.social

The joy of collecrive action... thisnis what democracy looks like @risingtideaus.bsky.social @knitnannassyd.bsky.social

👎 indeed. do they really think if we can't see it, it doesn't count? Science people! See you soon Nanna-sistas!

“Nannas have a simple message for Prime Minister Albanese and Environment Minister Murray Watt this summer: Slip, Slap, Slop: Slip on your man-pants, Slap down the fossil fuel industry, and Slop the red ink all over their applications”. knittingnannas.org/2025/11/26/m...

Minister Watt really is making a mockery of this critically important environmental law reform. If he wanted, he could act on the advice of scientists and experts, and amend Labor's bills, and the Greens would agree to support them. Summon the courage, Murray. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This little hand in mine. This little stink bug we found - its the little things that matter. But also big things like clean air, water and earth. Of stopping the destruction being wrought by big gas & coal. That's why I am rising up this weekend. Join me! @risingtideaus.bsky.social

Speak up. Sign Up. Rise Up! We need our collective hearts AND action.

On this day in 2024 Nannas were outraged at the NSW Labor governments disregard for our fundamental democratic right to protest by attempting to stop @risingtideaus.bsky.social coal port blockade. Now they’re at it again. We have news for @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social - our t-shirts are packed so🖕

Wallabies sponsored by Santos lose all matches in European Tour. First time in 67 years. Karma. Serves them right. Not a gas led recovery.

And what does the science say? It is clear. We must phase out fossil fuels not for the sake of the planet, but to ensure a livable future for us all. And "all" includes the inhabitants of those countries who prevented this phrase from being included in the final agreement.

Call from COP30 in Brazil from Antonio Guiteres: ‘Every voice matters. Yours has never been more important. If you want bolder climate action now is the time to make yours count.’

The idea *suppliers* of fossil fuels are neutral meeters-of-demand remains one of the worst lies Their job is not just digging up fossil fuels: their job is bullying, pushing, fighting, lying and lobbying to ensure fossil fuels get burned as much as possible www.rigzone.com/news/wire/ch...

One tree, countless homes. #ThickTrunkTuesday on Dja Dja Wurrung Country. 🌳 River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) #LoveAGum #australiannature #treeoftheday

Over 90 per cent of these woodlands have been cleared for grazing sheep and cattle, and logging knittingnannas.org/2025/10/26/s...

No, its not a halo, just the rays on a new nanna, who turned up at Rising Tide last year... join us, register here: www.risingtide.org.au/pb2025rego Fierce doesn't preclude fabulous fun! @knitnannassyd.bsky.social

🧶👵 protest the introduction of new NSW Planning laws at NSW Parliament House today. The laws are meant to fast track housing but will allow the Minister to approve projects without oversight - even by local councils. A 🎁 4 developers at the expense of our environment. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday, everybody. This gorgeous big River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) shrouded in mist was photographed by @treeside.bsky.social‬ near Mount Pleasant, South Australia. Show us your big gums! Tag @eucalyptaus to feature on a future #ThickTrunkTuesday!

Scitech (WA Science Museum) is sponsored by a few fossil fuel companies. Including Woodside who provide "free" access to STEM club for kids. Free = access to educational opportunities in exchange for promoting Woodside. The cost to students is the loss of a liveable planet. Good deal kids?

New Nanna News

This week i went to a graduation ceremony, in western Sydney. I taught this gorgeous young adults when they were 10. It was an absolutely glorious celebration of the transformative power of public education, of diversity and of outstanding, resilient young people. #nswtf #publiceducation 🧵

This is an excellent article on the idiocy of Australia continuing to be the third biggest petrostate and how this is not even a positive in bald economic terms. A great myth buster michaelwest.com.au/climate-risk...

Icymi @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, Chris Sidoti—member, UN Independent Int'l Commission of Inquiry on the oPt—has prepared a list of things you can do today &/or start work on today to meet your obligations under int'l law regarding Israel's Palestinian genocide. Hop to it. #auspol

The 70's were cool (er). Lets get on that and make a bold move on climate targets. Step up! @albomp.bsky.social

The @knitnannassyd.bsky.social had an important message for the Prime Minister- that the EPBC is about PROTECTION of the environment, not a nifty acronym to throw around. But you weren't there?!

On a day when the Aussie gov own climate risk report predicts more deaths from extreme heat, millions facing flood and fire, & no more insurance us Knitting Nannas (and Albo’s dog Toto) will be keeping the pressure on. @albomp.bsky.social Join us wherever!
