Essential reading: @greenpeaceap.bsky.social's new report (authored by @ketanjoshi.co) on how Australia's unchecked AI data centre build-out will derail the energy transition and increase emissions. We need a moratorium until safeguards are legislated. www.greenpeace.org.au/greenpeace-r...

Overnight, the #UNGA voted in an overwhelming majority to endorse the #ICJAO on the climate obligation of states, and advance efforts to implement efforts to comply with these obligations. A huge moment that wouldn't have been possible without Pacific leadership—the world has done well to follow.

Good news: The WA government has announced funding for 10 renewable energy projects to be built across regional WA by 2030, through the Albanese government's Capacity Investment Scheme. This is great news for jobs, electricity bills, and the climate. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Great to see this $1.4 billion commitment from the WA government to accelerate renewable energy infrastructure development ahead of coal closures. A faster transition away from fossil fuels is a win-win-win for energy security, climate & households. reneweconomy.com.au/state-create...

This month's 'With love' is a letter of love and gratitude to the researchers whose quiet, dedicated work powers campaigns to make global change, such as the #GlobalOceanTreaty, possible. Do have a read here: www.greenpeace.org.au/ceo-newslett...

Right now Greenpeace Australia Pacific activists are disrupting a major gas conference in Sydney. The message is simple - gas executives are profiting from an illegal war and causing climate change, while Australians are paying the price. Share this story far and wide!

Greenpeace activists arrested after standing up to Big Gas in Sydney. Brave activists disrupted the Australian Domestic Gas Outlook conference at the Sheraton Grand Hotel, dropping a banner with a simple message: Gas Execs Profit. We Pay The Price. Read more and stand up to Big Gas. bit.ly/4sTcESw

Fantastic that @albomp.bsky.social's department is considering options to tax the profits that gas companies are raking in from the war in the Middle East. Gas companies would do well to not close ranks to protect their ill-gotten gains. Our MR here: www.greenpeace.org.au/news/no-more...

As Liz Westcott takes the reins at Woodside Energy, she has a unique opportunity to steer the company away from the disastrous path set by her predecessor Meg O’Neill. @greenpeaceap.bsky.social media release on her appointment: www.greenpeace.org.au/news/new-woo...

This month’s With Love, delves into what it means to “be okay” in a world full of suffering, ecological damage, and war; and how we can stand united to properly orient ourselves for a shared purpose. Do have a read. www.greenpeace.org.au/ceo-newslett...

Mark Carney’s visit highlights a new geopolitical reality: countries like Australia and Canada are no longer simply followers in a US-led order, writes Paul Bongiorno. They are increasingly expected to shape the rules themselves. satpa.pe/1KXCowq

A US court has SLAPPed @Greenpeace with a $345m penalty, siding with fossil fuel company Energy Transfer...want to know more about the wave of SLAPP suits trying to silence dissent both in the US and #Australia? Read the AQ article from @david-ritter.bsky.social and Vaidehi Shah: buff.ly/gajR2RB

The global rule of law is not dead - it is alive and kicking. It may not be perfect, but is the foundation for solving great challenges that cannot be solved by one nation alone. Now is not the time to be throwing up our hands, but to be insisting that leaders defend and follow the rule of law.

Galling that $26 billion of annual government subsidies perpetuate environmental harms, according to a recent analysis of the 2022-23 budget. Meanwhile, less than $1bn/year goes to biodiversity. Our public money should protect nature and our future—not destroy it. www.abc.net.au/news/science...

Huge win for the ocean, marine life and climate, thanks to @surfrider.org and the local communities in Victoria! Unfortunately, the fight isn’t over! Have your say and enter a submission to @albomp.bsky.social to stop new gas exploration in the Otway Basin bit.ly/3MMwPBU

The right to peaceful assembly is a fundamental pillar of a healthy democracy and a basic right of all Australians.

Vale Jon Kudelka, one of the most incisive and remarkable political cartoonists of our time. Kudelka’s inimitable cartoons brought wit, humour, and compassion to some of the most dire issues of our era. May he rest in power.

A historic moment in Parliament yesterday, with the introduction of legislation to ratify the #GlobalOceanTreaty. The legislation must be passed quickly. We're also calling on Minister Watt to create five high seas sanctuaries in our region, starting with a large ocean sanctuary in the Tasman Sea.

I wrote this some time ago - with all of us knowing this day would come, and Rob, of course, fighting like the bloody-minded bastard he was to the very end. He irrevocably changed my life - and how our country saw itself. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

I am very deeply saddened to hear of the death of Rob Hirst. Rob’s lyrics, drumming, and vocals are one of the indivisible elements that made Midnight Oil into an Australian cultural and political phenomenon, forming an intrinsic part of the soundtrack to many lives and campaigns. RIP Rob Hirst.

Ahead of a bad summer, I'm in @canberratimes.bsky.social with a piece on how PM @albomp.bsky.social can fix the Morrison Govt’s biggest failure after the 2019–20 fires — refusing to phase out fossil fuels. Full piece: www.canberratimes.com.au/story/913080...

“In these moments of failure by politicians & negotiators, it would be easy to give in to legitimate feelings of anger & frustration; but the task before us is to appraise every moment for opportunities for momentum.“ #FossilFuel induced #ClimateChange

A new AEMC report shows rapid investment in renewables, transmission & storage can cut power bills now—but slowing momentum risks prices climbing again. Australia needs sustained, ambitious clean energy investment. Anyone clinging to ageing coal or gas is choosing higher bills and more pollution.

I’m in the latest Quarterly Essay, with a Correspondence piece responding to Marian Wilkinson’s ‘Woodside vs the Planet’ essay, along with a range of others including Greg Bourne and @petergarrett.com.au. The Correspondences are a great continuation of the important conversation started by Marian.

November’s issue of ‘With Love’ is a reflection on the disappointing outcome of COP30 in Belem, and the hope that shines bright, despite it all, that we will prevail over the forces of climate destruction, together. www.greenpeace.org.au/ceo-newslett...

People in the global majority will suffer the worst effects of climate change, and as the third-largest fossil fuel exporter in the world, Australia has a moral duty to spearhead the transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy. www.theguardian.com/world/video/...

Still feeling the absolutely electric energy of the brave and powerful action carried out by @greenpeaceap.bsky.social activists at the @risingtideaus.bsky.social protestival over the weekend. The government must listen to the thousands of people who turned out to speak out for a safe future.

BREAKING: Greenpeace Australia Pacific activists are blocking a coal export ship from entering the world’s largest coal port, as thousands rally at Rising Tides People's Blockade. @risingtideaus.bsky.social www.greenpeace.org.au/news/greenpe...

BREAKING‼️ Greenpeace have scaled and blocked a coal ship bound for Newcastle today for #RisingTide, deploying a banner with a message to Labor 👉🏼 “Phase Out Coal and Gas”. www.greenpeace.org.au/news/greenpe...

But the law still fails us on climate while Australia expands its coal and gas. It’s time to call for the end of fossil fuels. www.greenpeace.org.au/act/fossil-f...

These changes mean that more forests will stand. More wildlife will survive. Our endangered wildlife and threaten ecosystems all have a better chance because of this reform.

A huge victory for nature! The Government and Greens have agreed to a stronger national nature law: and it happened because people spoke up. Deforestation loopholes are finally closing. Logging and land clearing will face real assessments for the first time ever.

Today's agreement on EPBC reforms is a huge leap forward for forest protection— though more needs to be done to halt the impacts of climate on nature. Welcome progress today that must be followed by strong implementation and an end to fossil fuel expansion. www.greenpeace.org.au/news/nature-...

Today’s decision that Türkiye will be the host of #COP31 with Australia as President is not the outcome Australia wanted. Whatever the forum, whoever the President, the urgency and focus cannot change, and phasing out fossil fuels and ending deforestation must be at the core of the COP31 agenda.

The exhibition, on unaccounted for climate impacts of the oil and gas industry, also featured the display of a giant Climate Polluters Bill linked to the fossil fuel industry. #MakePollutersPay act-int.greenpeace.org/polluters-pa...

Press conference room absolutely packed at #COP30 as 20+ ministers gather to call for a roadmap away from fossil fuels to be a key outcome of this summit (Many more countries have expressed their support behind the scenes)

Telstra tells customers it “takes climate action seriously,” but CEO Vicki Brady sits on the board of the Business Council of Australia (BCA) – a lobby group stacked with some of Australia’s biggest polluters.

Serious political parties have to take real-world issues seriously. Otherwise, what is the actual point in them? The future of our national flourishing, security and prosperity should not be a partisan political plaything, tossed around by ambitious politicians chasing power and advancement.

New findings from @amnesty.org reveal that proximity to fossil fuel infrastructure elevates the risk of cancer, respiratory issues, and heart disease. Beyond the climate imperative to phase out fossil fuels, it’s a matter of human rights. A fast, fair, clean transition must be a global priority.

Important research from the IEEFA, showing that if Woodside’s Browse gas project went ahead, the product would be far too expensive for domestic and international markets. Another blow to the non-existent economic case for drilling gas at Scott Reef. ieefa.org/resources/br...

Solidarity to Paul Kabai and Pabai Pabai as they begin their appeal case against the Federal Court’s July ruling that the Australian government does not have a duty of care to protect the Torres Strait from climate harm. Polluters and the governments that enable them must be held accountable.

All power to the Monash students running this campaign for their huge win — Monash University is ending its partnership with Woodside. Fossil fuel vested interests have no place in our universities, or any other institutions for the public good.

As #COP30 begins in Belem, the moral obligation is clear for Australia and other rich nations to act ro end fossil fuels, make polluters pay, and keep 1.5°C alive — a lifeline for the Pacific. #MakePollutersPay #FossilFuelPhaseOut 🔗 abc.net.au/news/105982176

Good to see WA Premier Roger Cook and Energy and Decarbonisation Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson backing in WA’s clean energy future with a plan to decarbonise iron ore production and build a green steel industry. thewest.com.au/politics/sta...

Another day, another leaked report showing that WA’s gas exports risk crowding out renewables, locking countries into fossil fuel dependence. The sooner the WA Government stops listening to gas lobbyists and backs renewables as a win-win for our economy and global decarbonisation, the better.

Skipping the #COP30 #LeadersSummit is an unfathomable decision by the PM, when we haven't yet won COP31 hosting rights. @albomp.bsky.social's attendance matters. It's not too late for Albo to show the world that Australia is committed to climate leadership. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Significant improvements are needed to the draft #EPBC legislation tabled today by Environment Minister Murray Watt to deliver a nature law that actually protects nature. Parliament must work together to get it done. @greenpeaceap.bsky.social's response here: www.greenpeace.org.au/news/epbc-re...

Great to speak to Mike Seccombe for this story ahead of draft environmental reforms being tabled tomorrow. Parliament must work together to fix the major gaps in the draft legislation to ultimately deliver a fit-for-purpose nature law that actually protects nature.

More than 100 scientists and researchers have called on Environment Minister Murray Watt to ensure that Australia's new nature laws close loopholes that allow unchecked deforestation—especially in the Great Barrier Reef catchment. www.greenpeace.org.au/submission/c...

Our Head of Climate and Energy is in The Australian reframing “lawfare” for what it really is: public interest groups lawfully holding powerful corporations to account—a vital check in any democracy. Any fossil fuel lobby claiming otherwise deserves our deepest scepticism.
