“Gas, oil, and coal companies are let off the hook, while the true costs of climate-fueled disasters keep landing on the wrong people, again and again," writes Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director of The Australia Institute. Read the full article: theaus.in/3YLYjtT

“Australia’s health system is being squeezed by a shortage of funds, and it won’t be fixed until we talk about how and where to raise more money,” writes Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO of The Australia Institute. Read the full article: https://theaus.in/3NtMpT9

“Fossil fuel companies cause the climate change that turbocharges extreme weather events, but ordinary Australians are paying the price. It’s time that changed,” writes Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director of The Australia Institute. Read the full article: https://theaus.in/3YLYjtT

Very supportive of a "program that would force manufacturers, importers and retailers of solar panels to take responsibility for the disposal of their products." BUT, if they can do this for renewable products, why cant Gvt get fossil fuel industries to take responsbility for the damage they cause??

I lived in Madrid when Madrid Centro went into effect and it was amazing. I bring it up all the time as an example of the benefits of that kind of policy choice.

MEDIA RELEASE: Labor’s 62 to 70% climate target does not align with the science, but can be met by phasing out fossil fuels “A cut of at least 75% cut by 2035 is what was required & it’s a missed opportunity for the govt to show it is serious about climate change," said @richarddenniss.bsky.social.

They know the climate chaos coming, they know their decision will make it worse, and kill any hope of mitigation, but they did it anyway - for their own benefit. Not a principle among them.

In 2022, with a two seat majority, the Albanese government legislated our first climate targets. In 2025, with a supermajority, it’s claiming it lacks political support to update those targets. It’s time for transparency about climate risk and our climate targets. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

More reporting that top insurers say the #ClimateCrisis “could soon outpace industry solutions, effectively threatening to make entire regions around the world uninsurable.” Typically required for getting a mortgage. Tell me again how smart climate solutions “cost too much.” We’re bad at math.

“At the moment Australia literally gives half the gas we export away for free. Zero royalties, no PRRT paid on half the gas we export.” Executive Director Richard Denniss chats with 3AW about how Australia is giving away most of our gas for free. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Plastics are a great example of uncosted externalities. The Lancet has put an estimate on the cost of that policy and economic gap - $1.5tn per year. The US is representing the interests of fossil fuel companies, against the planet. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

How do we describe Trump …. stupidly smart, intelligently idiotic, intellectually incompetent, dangerously determined, professorially pathological, evilly entrepreneurial. Whatever it is, he is a villain who has brilliantly manipulated the press, the public, the banks and the people. He is dangerous

"If the Albanese government is genuinely worried about the costs of insurance, it needs to rapidly introduce a ban on new gas and coal mines, abolish expensive fossil-fuel subsidies and stop giving away export gas for free" Denying the costs of climate change is no different to denying the science.

Hearing state officials talk about how unexpected these floods were & it’s infuriating. This was completely predictable to anyone even vaguely aware of the climate crisis. Same thing with LA fires. The Mayor cut the fire fighting budget as global temps soared. Climate ignorance = needless deaths

It’s absolutely critical that the Albanese govt holds firm against the attacks on the PBS by US pharma. That includes protecting generics. Affordable medicines are key to our universal health system.

“Almost 600 people are expected to die early in the heatwave roasting England and Wales… The surge in deaths would not be occurring without human-caused global heating, the scientists said, with temperatures boosted by 2C-4C by the pollution from fossil fuels.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Billions of dollars in renewables investment once destined for the US could soon be looking for a new home. The Albanese government must capitalise.
