This snap action is in response to the environment minister, Murray Watt’s approval a 50 year extension of Woodside Energy’s gas development; one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel projects, which will release 4 billion tonnes of emissions.

Meet us at 9.30am on Monday 2nd of June, outside Lisa Chester’s office which is on the corner of Williamson and Myer Streets in Bendigo.

This is devastating news. In his first major decision, Environment Minister Murray Watt has extended the life of Australia's largest oil & gas project until 2070. Tuvalu's Climate Minister Maina Talia said the extension "would threaten our survival". www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

BREAKING: Multi-millionaire, multi-national petroleum CEO blames 14-year-olds buying clothes for the climate crisis.

Labor, Liberal and Nationals: all of these parties have no intention to stop coal and gas approvals despite our climate emergency. This election is an opportunity to vote for a party that takes the future of our young people seriously . #nonewcoal #nonewcoalandgas

The Labor govt has approved 34 coal and gas projects in their current term. This current election is an opportunity to vote in a hung parliament where smaller parties have a say in climate issues. #nonewcoal #nonewcoalandgas

Anger towards the Nationals party seems to be growing in Mount Alexander community. Looks like their nuclear platform will not be winning them any votes, as everyone knowns that nuclear is too costly, too dangerous and too late. #nonuclear

Donations from the fossil fuel industry to the Labor party is perhaps why Labor are approving new coal and gas. We need a royal commission into fossil fuel ‘donations’ to political parties! Voters can choose Greens who receive no fossil fuel donations.

Bendigo National party candidate Andrew Lethlean runs away from 15 year old who is concerned about how his nuclear plans would affect his future. #nonuclear #renewableenergy♻️ #election2025

Now that the election has been called, this will be the first mass mobilisation against new fossil fuel projects for this election period. Show up, and call for an end to seismic blasting and new gas developments. Head to the link for more info and to RSVP: events.humanitix.com/the-seismic-... 🌊

The Australien Government and the Opposition have made an ad about minority government, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol #2025election

A silent vigil yesterday marked the 14th anniversary of Japan’s Fukushima Nuclear Power reactor meltdown. The disastrous legacy of this catastrophe should remind our community of the possible consequences of adopting any proposal for risky, expensive and too late nuclear power in our country

This morning we paper chained up Jacinta Allan’s office - her proposal to criminalise protest by banning chains, padlocks, glue and masks is an attempt to silence our democratic right to dissent.. but we will not be silenced!

“Democracy dies when protest is criminalised!” This is the important message that we delivered to Vic Premier Jacinta Allan this morning, together with @xrvic.bsky.social and @averymbd.bsky.social Photos by: Alister Hudson

There’s been some small changes to the sounds, but it will still be a fabulous celebration of protest, with an important message for the Victorian Premier. @xrvic.bsky.social

The Victorian Premier is destroying democracy by criminalising protest. Come along to celebrate protest, and tell Jacinta Allan that protest is a democratic right!

In 2023-24, fossil fuel companies donated over $1.8 million to the major parties. #auspol #climate Is it any wonder dirty and expensive options like #gas are still being pushed by Labor and the Coalition?

The Liberal Party of Australia has made an ad about its Nuclear Plan, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBqV...

Food systems are responsible for around one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Is this a way we can feed ourselves without destroying the planet?

It’s still a few weeks away, but pop it in your diary!

The global temperature daily record has been smashed for nine days in a row, and I cannot see a single headline article by a major news outlet.
