Members are fuming that #AustralianSuper has become one of the largest investors in Whitehaven Coal, with shares worth about $395 million. “I think that AustralianSuper promoting themselves as an environmentally sustainable fund is false advertising and I’m angry.” 🔗 www.news.com.au/finance/supe...

Have HESTA, Rest and Australian Retirement Trust lost their nerve? These super funds remain invested in Woodside and Santos while claiming to support greater climate action – but sit on their hands when it comes to using their voting power to rein in fossil fuel growth. #climate

And i will take this opportunity to highlight other work i did with @sarjomac.bsky.social & others where we explore current evidence on alcohol production & it's contributing to significant environmental degradation through water usage & other carbon emission costs. academic.oup.com/heapro/artic...
