IMHO, it is exceptionally important that this one get off the ground.

Onwards from our launch of From Cradle to Career, today the Australian Greens have proposed a Senate Inquiry into fossil fuel industry engagement with children and young people across Australia. I hope the Albanese Government will support it, and here's why. /1

A report released today by climate communications charity Comms Declare reveals big coal, oil and gas companies are reaching Australian children through schools, museums, science centres, sporting clubs, early learning programs and scholarships. commsdeclare.org/cradle-to-ca...

Coal, oil and gas companies are spending tens of millions of dollars on marketing to Australian children through schools, museums, science centres, sporting clubs and scholarships, according to a new report from Comms Declare. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

"Big coal, oil and gas companies are helping drive climate change, yet simultaneously funding educational programs that shape how young Australians understand energy, resources and climate issues," said Comms Declare founder Belinda Noble.

The report, ‘From Cradle to Career’, by climate communications group Comms Declare, found the industry had invested tens of millions of dollars in activities that potentially reach millions of Australian children. Read the full piece on The Point: thepoint.com.au/new/260629-g...

Today we launched 'From Cradle to Career' Six months ago, I started asking what I thought was a fairly simple question: How are fossil fuel companies engaging with Australian children and young people? 🧵 1/

Death and destruction, and who benefits? That's right - massive fossil fuel companies. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Is it… stop approving new coal and gas??

UPDATE! Queensland Museum has removed some of its Shell-sponsored education materials from its website following our report into systemic bias. Unfortunately the Shell logo remains ⛽😷 www.museum.qld.gov.au/learning-res... #education #climateobstruction

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

P.S. if anyone wants to send Queensland Museum an email with your thoughts on the above, here's their contact page. (I mentioned abuse of their position, betrayal of public trust and that as a teacher I'll be advising my colleagues to boycott them until they sever ties with Shell.)

“Australia’s children deserve the truth about climate change." New Comms Declare research shows that the Queensland Museum is delivering Shell-branded educational materials that distort or omit fundamental climate science. ➡️ Read Lisa Wills' full piece on The Point: thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

This partnership is just the tip of the iceberg - part of a wider pattern of Big Oil and Gas shaping kids’ education. Our kids deserve climate truth, not corporate spin. We’re working hard to uncover the full scope of this shadowy influence across Australia. @commsdeclare.bsky.social

A very important question, and not one that we know the answer to. The partnership began in 2014, so it's not new, making it all the more concerning.

It's me! (Yep, it's true, fossil fuels in state institutions is a real problem on many fronts).

🛢️ Shell’s gas arm has paid Queensland Museum more than $10m to shape children's climate education, with branded resources that distort how fossil fuel pollution has caused the climate crisis according to a report from @commsdeclare.bsky.social. via @desmog buff.ly/1WOF5BI

Since I’m here - hi, I’m the lead author/researcher behind the new @commsdeclare.bsky.social's report on Queensland Museum’s kids education partnership with Shell. If you care about climate truth, science, or kids’ education, this one’s worth a look. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Finally joined Bluesky, where all the cool kids (and climate nerds) are!
