Hey @albomp.bsky.social - be more like Carney. #auspol

Australia’s wildlife and ecosystems are already in crisis thanks to climate change, clearing, bushfires… The last State of the Environment Report called it “poor & deteriorating.” 1/3

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act is meant to protect nature — not protect polluters. If Minister Murray Watt waters it down to get the LNP’s support, he’s inviting the same people who spent a decade trashing Australia’s environment to write the rules again. 1/2

Well isn’t that just lovely - a shit deal on the environment to ensure the Orange Haemorrhoid is happy

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes. When govts want to do something, they do it. When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse. No one here should fall for it

I doubt a majority of ALP voters voted to have environmental laws the get Matt Canavan’s approval

The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens. Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies. This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

There’s a sense of denialism in the air. Is is a “Don’t look up syndrome”? We’re already in a climate emergency. Climate related events fuelled by excessive burning of fossil fuels are causing ever worse catastrophes. The window of opportunity to make a difference is closing. We must act now.

"In a statement to Guardian Australia on Tuesday, Watt said: 'No one will get everything they want'.” Not true, minister. The fossil fuel companies will get *exactly* what they want. But of course, you know that. You work for them. #environment #ClimateCrisis #auspol

What a deal. My @smh @theage cartoon.

The ALP will use this opportunity to do even less on climate change and the environment.

If Albanese wont use the power and authority given to hime, what’s the point of giving him another go? If he lacks courage or the imagination, he should move aside for someone who will lead with inspiration and an idea of where they are going. #auspol #ALP

We can only hope that, in future, rational and responsible decisions will prevail. Then you might once again see forests being properly regenerated — tall trees regrowing where they belong — helping Australia tackle both the climate and biodiversity crises. #auspol #deforestation #climate

But @albomp.bsky.social rushing to put us at further risk. The sycophancy and ineptitude of this govt is very concerning.

The Onion has Israel's measure. There shall be no peace for Palestinians until someone steps up to the mark and forces Israel to stop and instead deliver freedom, equality, justice and reparations to the Palestinians. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

No Kings Only Queens, Pedro Pascal at the demonstrations against Trump and his authoritarian regime

A few short hours ago, 7 children and 3 women were murdered by Israel when an IOF tank fired on a Palestinian family as they tried to return home in Gaza. Did you find this news "extraordinarily moving," @senatorwong.bsky.social? Is this the "pause" that induced you to fawn over Trump? #auspol

Please join us for a snap protest against Labor's approval for expanding Glencore's Ulan coal mine at 12 noon tomorrow (Friday 5th September) outside Ged Kearney's office, 159 High St Preston. Bring posters, banners and friends! #climatecrisis #auspol

Venting our severe disappointment and frustration at the latest coal mine approval by the Albanese Government today outside Ged Kearney's office. #climatecrisis #auspol

“Let’s cut through the spin: if the mining industry and the Liberals back this package, it says everything. It’s a deal for corporate profits, not a deal for nature or our climate” The 'two-party system' delivers literally toxic policy driven by fossil fuel profiteers. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

"At a congressional level, I was meeting with senior leaders who were evangelical about the importance of #AUKUS" Oh FFS, Conroy. *Of course* the yanks love a 'deal' where we pay billions, and they can give us nada. To quote Trump: "suckers and losers". #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Expecting the @albomp.bsky.social Labor government to trash environment nature laws to serve fossil fuel and developers interests. Past record indicates that they are well and truly owned by big money interests, excluding every thing and everyone else. Following MAGA instructions. #auspol

Labor has a chance to fix Australia’s broken nature laws Concerning that they're working with Coalition to stitch up a bad deal & ram it through Parliament without scrutiny Govt should strengthen these laws to protect the places and species we love www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

With Labor and LNP cooking up a dodgy deal to pass revised laws, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act needs to be renamed for accuracy: the Fossil Fuel Facilitation and Environmental Degradation Act. #auspol

When the LNP are happy with your draft environment protection laws, you should know you're on the wrong fucking track. But Labor is happy to enact absolutely any old piece of shit legislation with LNP support so they don't have to deal with the Greens. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The US Study Centre says it did polls that show only 17% of Australians support ending the alliance. I find this…. How shall I put this…. A load of bullshit. In fact I find it propaganda to protect Albanese’s acquiescence

Nick Feik: “The NACC has over two hundred employees and an annual budget of over $60m, but has yet to land a single major finding from over 5,000 referrals.” #auspol

Does the NACC have any hope of regaining public trust? Good article by @nickfeik.bsky.social www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/16/n...

Apparently Trump wasn’t happy with the way they photographed his hair, so I fixed it

The proper remedy to our budget deficit is not triming spending, it’s to increase revenue. 1) Have multinationals pay their fair share of tax. 2) Collect proper royalties for our (finite) resources. 3) Stop just exporting our rocks - value add here. 4) Stop Defence waste. #auspol

“Australians are increasingly feeling that corporations & lobbyists are drowning out their voices. Major industries donate millions to political parties, hire former politicians as lobbyists, & shape public policy to serve their own private interests.” socialjusticeaustralia.com.au/democracy-fo...

“The Albanese Government is committed to no new extinctions” Environment Minister Murray Watt, reaffirming Labor’s 2022 pledge on Threatened Species Day 2025 2 weeks later Australia’s only shrew is declared extinct. #auspol #climate @australiainstitute.org.au minister.dcceew.gov.au/watt/media-r...

But it’s clear who’s paying. Another (non-refundable) $1,000,000,000 of your money about to be shunted to the US to build THEIR industry capability 🤦‍♂️. 2/2 #AUKUS #USUKA #auspol

did the greens scarper this superannuation tax deal #auspol

It’s great to see the cross bench coming out early and with strength opposing the Govt’s evil #FOI Amendment Bill. Here’s @helenhainesindi.bsky.social’s amendment killing off the ability of the Govt to charge FOI applications fees and for officials to summarily dismiss FOI requests. #auspol

Thank goodness for the cross bench. Holding @albomp.bsky.social Labor Government to account. #auspol

Michael Pascoe: “If anyone was hoping for significant economic reform to improve Australia’s outlook, to realise this nation’s enormous potential, hope buried Monday 13/10 when Treasurer Chalmers announced PM Albanese’s reformed superannuation reform.” michaelwest.com.au/albos-supera....

The ALP might as well merge with the Minerals Council of Australia

Gotta say @albomp.bsky.social sure does love capitulating to Tories.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽 Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club. That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group. Just utterly unbelievable.

My column on tax, fairness and companies paying nothing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"If Australia raised as much tax as Canada...we would have an extra $133bn a year to spend on government services. That might help lift some people out of poverty." Of course, we could lift people out of poverty now. The failure to do so is not just a failure to tax companies, but a policy choice.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit scared of any new ‘environment laws’ that Labor can get Matt Canavan and Andrew Hastie to vote for…I think they will be better described as ‘ how to build more mines faster laws’ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

"The right’s strategists understand that their trajectory is actually neofeudal, which is why they focus almost entirely on deceptive spin and culture war distraction. If we are at each other’s throats, we won’t be addressing the massive inequality that underpins the oligarchs’ surging wealth."

Just so we’re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation. And Watt is already admitting it won’t have a climate trigger …
