"The AI revolution is already here and there's no going back so we may as well get on board" = "You can't switch off fossil fuels overnight" Argue against something no one is saying and you'll win every single time 🥇

AI is an absolute net negative for humanity. So of course govts are clamouring for more of it. I don't want to be too judgmental, but every single proponent of the glories of AI is a complete wanker www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Dear Lord. Centrelink says 144 different parts of its system have been operating unlawfully or erroneously. This scandal of 44k overpaid debts is just ONE of the 144 issues they say they've identified. The welfare system is in complete crisis & disarray

"Sri Lanka has declared a state of emergency after the flooding and landslides, which displaced more than 1.1 million people." In Indonesia: "usually, there is an area where landslides are contained, but this time, landslides have affected all the villages that we saw as we made our way here"

Footage of #RisingTide champions locking on to coal equipment. We're still disrupting coal exports because Labor is failing to act on climate and failing to support workers. When governments fail to protect, the people will rise!

More actions this morning from the formidable @risingtideaus.bsky.social activists taking the fight for a liveable climate to the world's largest coal export port (in Australia, where PM @albomp.bsky.social last week signed the #BelemDeclaration to phase out Coal, Gas & Oil)

Oops‼️ This coal ship TURNED AWAY due to the #RisingTide disruption of the world’s biggest coal port ✊🏽💚✊🏼

Pumping the Jam at #RisingTide 🥁🎹🎶 Join us take on the coal billionaires for #ClimateJustice this weekend at the world's biggest coal port 👇🏽 www.risingtide.org.au/pb2025

Greens leader @larissawaters.bsky.social has the joined the #RisingTide blockade of the world's biggest coal port 💚 "We don't need anymore coal and gas"‼️

Kerry O'Brien speaking the truth so rare in modern Australian media now Can only hope more take his words to heart, and to action www.youtube.com/watch?v=s--o...

Rising Tide starts tomorrow. 'This November, join with thousands as we stop coal exports from the world’s largest coal port at Muloobinba/Newcastle, on Awabakal & Worimi land and water.' www.risingtide.org.au/pb2025

I love Northern Australia, and it breaks my heart what's happening and is planned for this region. More people need to know why this place is so special and what's at risk, so I wrote about it. My first article for @australiainstitute.org.au's The Point. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

You cant protect nature if you wont protect native forests from chain saws & bulldozers Great column by Virginia Young on Labors deeply flawed new ‘nature laws’…the ones that’s are so flawed the mining industry are desperately lobbying the Liberals to vote for them thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Oh those pesky blocky Greens

This is utterly outrageous by the Group of Eight unis, and deeply insulting and undermining for environment and climate experts trying their hardest to achieve a more sustainable future for society. Shameful stuff.

This is why for a long time I've found the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science a rather insulting propaganda exercise www.abc.net.au/news/science... CSIRO funding as a percentage of GDP: 1982-83 = 0.17 2024-25 = 0.03 ... Scientific extinction event imminent?

Issuing statements and then stepping back: the international powers sponsoring the agreement remain silent. They see the tents collapsing, children freezing, people living in mud, yet they exert no pressure, impose nothing, hold no one accountable. #auspol #gaza

The Australian Government for the past five years has been pushing weapons sales into the UAE at an astonishing scale. This is the result. Australia tying itself to more appalling war crimes, now in Sudan.

More big news today as the Land and Environment Court makes orders, by consent, overturning approval of Glencore’s Ulan Coal Mine expansion. Johnson Legal proudly represented Mudgee District Environment Group, in their fight for a clean, healthy and safe environment. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

Honestly, the LNP are largely irrelevant. More importantly, @australianlabor.bsky.social also has no intention of _genuinely_ reaching net zero by 2050 either, if you _look closely_ at their policies and performance.

If only Australia's mainstream media cared as much about Australia's relentless increasing production of Coal, Gas & Oil as they do about about the moribund LNP's climate non-policy 👇THIS👇 (by @timinclimate.bsky.social) is the REAL story

What do you do when you *hate* renewable energy but you own a heap of it? I guess you could use it to do more coal exports. Sure. Why not? 🔌 #energysky

“You’re basically saying you can trade koalas with a land snail in Tasmania or a small plant in north Queensland.” - Prof Brendan Wintle @biodivcouncil.bsky.social What's wrong with @australianlabor.bsky.social's environmental law reforms 👉 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... [email protected]

The Canadien Government has made an ad about the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG terminal & PRGT Pipeline, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

As COP30 begins, here's a gentle reminder that well-intentioned half measures aren't going to solve the climate crisis. The era of fossil fuels must come to an end. My latest in The Guardian... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Greens have just secured a Senate inquiry into the capital gains tax (CGT) discount, exposing one of the most regressive tax breaks in Australia’s system which is inflating house prices by incentivising speculative investment in property!

We don't need a repeat of the treachery that led to the farce we're now inflicted by, the ironically named 'Safeguard Mechanism'. australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-saf... The conservation and environmental movement must own, learn, and not repeat their mistakes.

"The fact the Greens want to stop native forest logging and the Nationals want to speed up land clearing is not proof that any legislation Labor drafts must fit in the “sensible centre.” - @richarddenniss.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

In addition to legal experts @envirojustice.bsky.social , I'd add that environmental & conservation science experts also call for real reform, not more rhetoric, slippery words, and confident endorsements or centrist exhortations that are flatly wrong (next post & embedded🧵 if u'd like more info)

The most detailed and informed analysis of the EPBC legislation I've seen yet, thanks to the EDO www.edo.org.au/2025/10/31/e...

They say most suspensions are reversed, so what’s the harm? But everyone who’s received that text message knows the harm starts there. Anxiety, stress, wasted time & energy. It starts even before that – submitting to mistreatment just to avoid the text. Ty @caitkelly.bsky.social for reporting.

Zoe Daniel joins the chorus of deeply unhelpful hot takes from non-experts about the EPBC reforms. This opinion piece is so poorly constructed and full of deeply ignorant and superficial commentary. It reads like it’s written by a Labor staffer. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today we learned of a shocking amendment to the income apportionment bill that involves police in social security decisions. We're joining the call for Labor to abandon police powers to stop Centrelink payments. Why is @amyremeikis.bsky.social is the only one in the press gallery covering this?

Talk from Luke Kemp on his recent book Goliaths Curse, The History and Future of Societal Collapse A study on how inequality underpins social 'collapse' How 'collapse' can prove liberating for the 99% & contrary to myth, how many of us likely fare better & do better www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1le...

The government has finally stopped drip feeding EPBC details and provided them to everyone! www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/... One of many howlers "The proposed changes will also allow certain biodiversity certificates issued under the Nature Repair Market to be used for environmental offsetting."

CCS is a dead horse

Devolving Commonwealth powers for environmental protection & assessment to states & territories is a longstanding goal of Big Business that the LNP repeatedly failed to accomplish 👀post👇 for why It's a terrible idea Will the @albomp.bsky.social govt deliver to Big Business what the LNP couldn't❓

Richard Gere— "The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone." "Do we really think these refugees are different than us?" "Do you really believe what these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin, what these guys say?"

UN Chief Antonio Guterres says it is “inevitable” we will miss our Paris climate targets. This will have devastating consequences for us here in Australia as well as vulnerable communities around the world. We must change course.
