The 'statement of reasons' given by enviro minister Murray Watt approving the North West Shelf gas project extension contains some astonishing mental gymnastics. He assumes the same level of emissions could occur even if the project didn't proceed epbcpublicportal.environment.gov.au/_entity/shar...

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

I’m old enough to remember when the Greens tried to negotiate better and more immediate outcomes and got called blockers and wreckers. The ALP campaign on this was successful, the Greens had to back down. A victory, of sorts, if you call building zero homes a victory. #AusPol

This was from Jane Goodall’s Facebook. It doesn’t require explanation, it’s just a beautiful thing.

A solemn day as we pay our respects to Dr Jane Goodall and her extraordinary legacy. Vale, Jane, we promise to keep fighting for all that you loved and fought for too! theconversation.com/only-if-we-h... With @drkyliesoanes.bsky.social, Marissa Parrott, @drvanessapirotta.bsky.social & Zara Bending.

Labor could have done something significant for first home buyers, but instead has dropped them into an outrageously expensive market with the burden of a 95% mortgage to boot. Why can't we have the tax reform that will actually help and that the Greens are pushing for?

PM @albomp.bsky.social, FM @senatorwong.bsky.social, you may be desensitised to genocidal atrocities directed at children, but we are NOT You need to SANCTION ISRAEL NOW

“A sixteenfold increase in the original contract without public notification raises allegations of ‘gross mismanagement’ and a process ‘run out of control’” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s....

It is an indictment on Labor to have chosen a weak, unambitious and deadly climate target while First Nations people in this country already bear the brunt of extreme heat. Labor knows their 62% target will lock in >2°C warming and heat will continue to kill and displace people.

There was never going to be a genuine anti corruption body set up by a major party. Because the major parties are corrupt. Vote better. #AusPol

#BREAKING | Greta Thunberg: “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”

“Every year we leave the Cop depressed, but we will begrudgingly continue to participate because if we’re not at the table we’ll be on the menu” Exactly. Australian political & media class obsess about whether we get to host the next Cop. But fail to recognize the hypocrisy of a fossil-fueled govt.

The ABC really just stepped on every rake. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Proud to be one of the signatories of this letter. Do better, @albomp.bsky.social. You can’t beat laws of physics and chemistry with political rhetoric. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

No Premier, it is not socials vs scientists. It is unequivocal science showing that new coal and gas puts the safety of our kids’ future on the planet at risk. This is not a keyboard war. Our responsibility is to act on the science - not denigrate it. Not run Santos’ lines to protect their profit.

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

Lovely that ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's bid to take over Santos fell over But unfortunately no pause to Santos' climate- & planet-destroying shitfuckery as they start production on Barossa, the "carbon bomb with an LNG by-product"☠️☠️☠️ 👀 ieefa.org/articles/iee...

Kellie Tranter on #SundayShot: Australia has very clear legal obligations under international law "activated at least from 24th Jan 2024 by the International Court of Justice which found a plausible risk of genocide" PM @albomp.bsky.social End 🇦🇺's support End 🇦🇺's complicity SANCTION ISRAEL NOW

AUKUS accurately summarised by @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social

I assume Sussan’s war on dependency will extend to the $14.9 billion of annual subsidies to major producers & users of fossil fuels? And end the dependency of wealthy property investors on annual tax breaks of $12bn? Or is she just talking people with disabilities?

“It is troubling if, in Australia, public medical institutions cannot host discussions of humanitarian and medical consequences of war”. It is even more troubling that yet another Australian institution buckles to #ZionistMcCarthyism. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

UPDATE: Our ad has been pulled. While the Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun talk about freedom of speech all the time, they've decided that they won't be proceeding with our ad tomorrow. We still hope they will run our ad at a later date, because we need to broadcast the message, end the genocide!

“And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change ..."

The Israeli Government has made an ad about the Global Sumud Flotilla headed for Gaza, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

In a world that stood silent and did nothing to try to stop Israel's GENOCIDE, FORCED STARVATION and FORCED RELOCATIONS of Palestinians .. Israelis can openly admit to murdering 200 000 + people Where is the outrage? Where are the consequences? These are war crimes, crimes against humanity

Compare how ABC/media are responding to the murder of American far right political activist Charlie Kirk to how they responded to the murder of Australian humanitarian aid worker Zomi Frankcom. It’s disgraceful.

Today's final approval of the North West Shelf is a climate, economic, and energy security disaster. Australia Institute analysis shows the 45-year expansion is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

The "best" Albanese puts our Albanese to shame. One calls out the #Zionist #Murderers of #Israel and the other appoints a #Zionist to appease #Zionist #Israel and its representatives in Australia #FuckIsrael #FreePalestine

Gough would be spinning in his grave so fast, you put a few magnets in his suit pockets, wrap a copper coil around his coffin and power the entire country.

These pictures will be remembered for centuries. Future generations will ask: "Who did what, and when? Who made this abomination possible? Who spoke out - and who remained silent?" Make sure you have good answers.

Francesca Albanese: "The crimes we are talking about... are all crimes that call into question the responsibility of member states. Member states that are not doing enough to stop it & [are] making themselves responsible"

Labor talked a big game on Robodebt when it was Scott Morrison in charge. So why is it that years on - Labor are still chasing billions of dollars in dodgy and ancient debts from people on income support?

You cannot make it up, we are debating Labor's first housing bill this Parliament. To build public housing for US troops under AUKUS. More below 👇

End AUKUS, just think of all we could do with $375 billion apart from subsidising the US military? Investing in human security in climate action, public education, housing and international partnerships.

"Environmentalists need to start supporting things rather than being opposed to things" The reason no one can actually bring up an example of a group or institution that solely 'opposes things' when you press them is that they really mean 'enviros should *never* oppose things', but can't say it

Meanwhile, Israel is planning its next genocidal actions to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza to Sudan and the world is shrugging its shoulders in exhaustion and self-imposed impotence. Sanctions now. Stop all trade in weapons.

A growing number of journalists and first responders in Gaza are going on hunger strike amidst the famine. “If you want to eat, you have to run after aid trucks. I refuse to do it,” says Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/unti...

Hind Khoudary: "There is no safe place across Gaza, everywhere is a target.. what options do Palestinians have? Where do they go? Where are the safe areas they are supposed to evacuate to?"

HEY friends - new @crikey.com.au piece up now! American 'abundance agenda' brain rot has killing brain cells in Canberra. But as we can see from what's happened over there, deregulatory fantasies only ever end up serving those doing the most harm to climate / environment. Have a read!
