How much coal would the French have to find under the Louvre to destroy it? How much gas would the UK need to find under Stonehenge to knock it down? Australia must be the richest country in the world willing to destroy its ancient heritage for one more gas project #climate

Under the cover of the on-again/off-again Coalition drama, Labor is gearing up to approve an absolutely catastrophic gas project. Woodside’s North West Shelf is an untapped climate bomb. This approval would mean supercharged floods, fires and species extinctions.

These are genocidal acts and war crimes. Fixating on whether 14,000 babies starve in 48 hours or over months is a distraction — a deliberate one — from the horrifying truth: the evidence is overwhelming, and the killing, bombing and strategic starvation is ongoing.

Tragic to see the flooding across NSW. As these disasters get more common and more severe, we should make fossil fuel exporters pay a climate disaster levy. So that those causing the damage pay for the clean-up, not ordinary Australians. Add your name > theaus.in/fossilfuelco...

And yet they are about to approve an extension to a massive fossil fuel project in WA. #auspol

Commiserations to all those facing flood devastation. While you’re sandbagging, Labor is clearing the way for even more climate chaos.

What Nick said

A Friendly Reminder.

Would it have killed them to mention the fact that this was due to climate change? @powcanada.bsky.social

A real leader leads even when chips are down & does not wait for a woman to do the hard yards before pushing her to the side to take charge. Very weak by Andrew Hastie who clearly has an issue being lead by a woman. He doesn’t think they’re good enough for combat, or to lead.

men are also more likely to be climate deniers! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39734774/

“Judith Collins, the attorney-general and committee chair, said it was the toughest punishment the committee had ever handed out and “the worst incident that we have ever seen”.” Wow, weird that “the worst incident we have ever seen” does not include gutting pay equity, threats to Te Tiriti etc 🤔

Yep- watch this. My blood ran cold as Jason Stanley, Professor of Philosophy at Yale (who studies fascist rhetoric) said ‘You know you’re living in a fascist society when you’re constantly going over in your head the reasons why YOU’RE safe.’

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Land grab. Supported by much of the West, including Australia.

Energy Australia has been selling coal fired energy as "carbon neutral". The offsets used have been shown to be ineffective. "What's really concerning is that it's the Australian Government that's been giving the tick of approval to these offsets," @richarddenniss.bsky.social said on Sky News.

Non-disclosure agreements are invariably to protect the perpetrator. They are a form of bribery.

It’s a great honour and privilege to be elected as the fifth leader of the Australian Greens. In the face of the escalating climate and environment crisis, the housing crisis and the worst inequality crisis in history, our movement has never been more important.

The exclusion of TPM from Parliament is straight out racism by the privileges committee. No one else has EVER received such a censure.

The Climate Active scheme encourages consumers to “make a positive impact by supporting these organisations” without offering any proof or verifying that emissions are being “offset”. The Australia Institute has previously reported Climate Active to the ACCC.

15 May 1920 | A Polish woman, Zofia Flasza, was born in Czeladź. A dressmaker. In #Auschwitz from 17 June 1942. No. 7626 She perished in the camp on 25 July 1942.

Yeah, the 80,000 people with super balances over $3m are in a panic because the earnings attributed to that amount over $3m will get a 15% tax discount instead of 30%. FMD.

We all have power. We all have a choice of how we use it. "Whether we are casting a vote, filing a story, advising a minister, attending a protest, or writing a law – history will remember those who chose to act & those who looked away." @pollyjhemming.bsky.social at the #ClimateIntegrity Summit

As a grieving Grerns member, I say ‘Thank you’ to Sawsan Medina 💚 johnmenadue.com/post/2025/05...

Worth recalling that in his maiden speech he made much of encountering a popular US woman writer at Oxford, and whether or not Xmas as appropriately celebrated. She produced proof they had not been at Oxford during the same years. Angus has problems with dates & numbers.

Before 2022 on the dead bird site this was one of my most tweeted tweets. I would do it every time I saw him. I hope that I don’t need to redo this: Tim Wilson is emblematic of all that is wrong with politics in this country. #Auspol.

Oh we're already there

Business groups are calling for the government to overhaul the tax system. Excellent! As @grogsgamut.bsky.social writes, we have some ideas... australiainstitute.org.au/post/busines...

Some asked for the two parties split up

​’Peter Dutton cannot claim to stand against antisemitism while giving cover to neo-Nazis and aligning himself with racists. If he truly cared about Jewish safety, he wouldn’t be doing preference deals with One Nation and repeating lines that embolden the far right.’ — Sarah Schwartz, Jewish Council

ICYMI, this excellent 4 minute clip is 🎯💥💯. Please watch, share, and vote accordingly. Some mainstream journos are also shining a light on #AtlasNetwork. But many are still too timid, lazy or complicit to highlight the truth behind Dutton's culture wars. #ausvotes #auspol

If someone in the major parties had the cojones to stand up to the US like Canada is currently, I think a lot of votes would come their way. #Auspol.

Agreed Dave. We have a chance to hang with the cool kids if we move fast. The US we knew no longer exists. This is crucial for Australia. We have a real opportunity here if we choose to take it. Come on Aussie, be brave for once. #Auspol.

Utterly wild that people urging the Australian government to acknowledge the global reality of an authoritarian USA, like serious countries are doing, are met with 'that's unrealistic' critiques. This is a country of cowards that would prefer our politics to forever be in the realm of make believe.

"I think she wants to be Peter Dutton's Elon Musk, and that worries me." It should worry us all. Ep. 1 of the excellent new podcast from Sarah Martin and @australia.theguardian.com - "Gina". #DontRiskDutton #TrumpLite #auspol www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

Oh yeah - like no one saw that coming www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Labor has delivered $56 billion in fossil fuel subsidies & $176 billion for wealthy property investors while delivering nothing new for renters, no increase to income support payments & slashing billions more from NDIS. How disappointing, to say the least. #auspol #Budget2025

It’s difficult for Australian politicians to plan for the future because many can’t imagine the future being different from now. When Melbourne blows out to over eight million residents we’ll need more trips to be made on public transport. We’ll need a rail loop. It’s not for now. #AusPol #VicPol

An American content creator has uploaded videos of women he secretly filmed in Sydney's east via a camera lens on his sunglasses www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

When did anyone ever trust them? Dutton is as slippery as a ice with a sheen of oil on it.

The Government is rushing changes through Parliament set to weaken environmental protection laws and benefit destructive industries. Today, 50 environment organisations have joined an open letter demanding that these changes are rejected. Published in The Aus, Cbr Times, Fin Review, SMH & the Age.

To Parliament: Don't gut Australia's environment laws.
