Great piece from @rossgittins.bsky.social in the SMH today. It references a new report from @richarddenniss.bsky.social on how Australian governments game their climate targets to conceal their lack of climate action. Read: australiainstitute.org.au/report/targe...

Public narratives about menopause are framed by a range of stakeholders, who contribute to shaping women's experiences of and attitudes towards menopause. Our new study sought Australian women's opinions about increased public attention to menopause. 🧵/ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

DEA condemns the government’s weak 62-70% emissions target, which fails to protect the health of Australians and our environment from climate change. When will our government accept its ethical responsibility to put the health of the nation ahead of coal and gas exports? Full media release below 👇

A target of 62-70% will lead to well over 2°C of warming. This decision makes it clear that this government does not care about young people. We won’t stand by while they wreck our future.

We'll be outside Labor MP offices across the continent on Monday making it clear young people don't accept this failure of a target. Details here: www.aycc.org.au/sleeping_on_...

More evidence that Western Australia is a captured state. In a climate emergency, where every extra fraction of a degree of increased heat means more problems, higher costs, more catastrophes… our government & institutions are in bed with the polluting fossil fuel companies. It’s a disgrace. 👇
