They know the climate chaos coming, they know their decision will make it worse, and kill any hope of mitigation, but they did it anyway - for their own benefit. Not a principle among them.

Red line. My @smh @theage cartoon.

It's now on record Labor is spending more on consultants than Morrison. Is this the same party boasting about its savings on consultants & commitment to cultural change? Data shows Labor spent nearly $1 billion on contracts in 24-25 & already $76.5 mil in 25-26. 🧵

PM Albanese says he spoke to Benjamin Netanyahu on the ph & says he’s “in denial” about what’s going in Gaza “He again reiterated to me, what he has said publicly as well, which is to be in denial about the consequences that are occurring for innocent ppl”💥 #SanctionNetanyahu

Incredible — After shooting at a group of diplomats from nearly *two dozen* countries, the Israeli military says it "regrets the inconvenience caused." The diplomats were from China, Brazil, India, Russia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, France, Türkiye, Spain, Portugal, Jordan, the UK, Egypt, and more.

The second half of this quote deserves to be remembered in the history books

Yesterday Govt lawyers warned me against publishing info about an #AUKUS nuclear dump site report. But the only way to protect the democratic right to publish info about Govt, especially when cautioned by that Govt, is to publish! Keep an eye on Michael West Media. #auspol

One useful thing about being on vacation for three weeks is experiencing how easy it is to forget that climate change exists — let alone how dangerous it might be — when you're never exposed to information about it.

With the extreme heat & a worsening climate crisis, know this: It’s not only legal to approve coal and gas mines (Labor’s approved 28 new projects) and take their corporate donations, but 20% of all climate & enviro protests in Aus involve arrests, 3x the global average.

Labor and Liberal governments have passed 49 anti-protest laws across the country over the last two decades. It is damning (& history will judge us harshly) but no surprise that 🇦🇺 leads the world on climate protest arrests. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

Today’s weather update is brought to you by Woodside, and supported by the Albanese government. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lovely piece of media framing from the ABC. The entire article is completely devoid of any context. No explanation WHY there was an 'anti-fossil fuel protest'. No comments from any scientist. No mention the future risks to human civilisation with continued use of fossil fuels.

The UN has now formally found Israel's genocide "consistent with genocide", including the use of weaponized starvation. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Lana. Lana was studying to be an engineer before her life was turned upside down and she lost her home. Now she is struggling to survive. Her father has injuries from shrapnel and she has contracted hepatitis which leaves her very weak.

OMG, what! [reads first paragraphs] Oooooooohhhhhhhhh www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

***two fucking years*** in prison for throwing soup at the glass covering on top of a painting. TWO YEARS. Imagine a judge expressing the same real anger and sneering vindictiveness when describing a fossil exec choosing to kill Earth's life support systems. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
