@envirojustice.bsky.social @wotch.bsky.social 🙏 challenging a Yarra Ranges Council decision to approve logging at high conservation value forest on private land under a 1977 permit– no expiry date, no public notice, no public oversight envirojustice.org.au/the-zombie-l...

Australia, Canada, Norway and U.S. are responsible for nearly 70% of projected carbon-dioxide (CO2) pollution from new fossil fuel projects between 2025 and 2035. Also Australia - "we are a renewable powerhouse and should host COP31" #nonewcoal #nonewgas #climatecrisis oilchange.org/blogs/planet...

In LA police & national guard started pushing & firing pepper. Because one idiot punched a horse. In Philadelphia police tried to move people on.

Shame on you for the misleading headline which implies all the #nokings protests were violent #usa

“We imagine that people do good things because they are good people. But it’s exactly the other way around. You do good things, & that makes you a good person. You got to get started or be inspired by others, that’s how you get there” #activism #protest #politics edition.cnn.com/2025/06/14/u...

This boils my blood. I currently rely on regular delivery of gas out here, until I can afford not to, I will still be paying through the nose every couple of months. It’s infuriating.,

WA Greens rep @sophiemcneill.bsky.social reports that 17,500 submissions about Woodside's Browse gas project were made to WA EPA, including >3,500 individually written submissions! Well done, everyone👏🙌✊. #ScottReef #BrowseToNorthWestShelf (h/t @meckeringboy.bsky.social)

It can't be said much more clearly. We need to turn the world in a new direction!

Gotta be salty and mention the fact that US and UK are ready to use their aviation to protect Israel from ~100 iranian drones, but Ukrainians have to shoot down HUNDREDS of them EVERY NIGHT with literal machine guns because dear allies won't even sell us sufficient air defence.🙃

How many millionaires pay $0 tax in Aus, 2025??? 2022 - 60 2023 - 66 2024 - 102 This year's ATO tax stats should drop any day now. Australia is a low-tax country. It's not hard to raise more revenue and make Australia better. @australiainstitute.org.au

@parkroseperma.bsky.social I also got chills watching that amazing brave smart man appealing to common humanity. Yes yes yes to that tactic. #laprotest #protest #usa #politics youtu.be/xQn4iIAG2ow

pursuit of Browse gas field is against commercial common sense, has huge risks & may never be profitable #energy #climatechange Each small obstacle placed in its path increases the chances that the whole industry in WA will collapse like a house of cards. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

People take rewilding & greening into their own hands (at their own expense) because #victoria #australia Dept of Energy Environment & Climate Change is failing us abysmally. #auspol #wildlife #nature #environment Instead of undermining people, support them to do it well. youtu.be/ztL13ktOZBg

So many reasons Scott Morrison should not get an OA. Over 10,000 signatures already.

6 more huge gas projects in the works #auspol A major disconnect between climate & environment safety, marketed government values, and a clear policy of continuing fossil fuel extraction. #climatechange #environment #energy #marketing #greenwashing theconversation.com/woodsides-no...

Wow. Just wow. Burkino Faso’s Traoré. Courageous. Crystal clear as to how, in a continent as rich as Africa, people remain poor. Incredible speech. #Africa #colonialism #politics #exploitation youtu.be/IPUZagc_WuY

What if our cities actually acted like we’re in a #ClimateEmergency? Many declared one, but if they had to prove they understand what an emergency is, could they? What have they done? Changed? Started? Stopped? How are they going much further, faster? HT for great graphic by @tomflood.bsky.social

Good grief. These politicians who stand and get elected to represent one party and then fk off to join their party of choice. And fk the voters. #auspol #australia #politics #ethics www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Sudan. The greatest humanitarian & displacement in the world. Starvation, killings, rape, blocked aid as weapons of war. 14 million people displaced. 400,000 dead. 25.6 million in extreme hunger. 15million in need of healthcare. #blm #war The world shrugs. Why? youtu.be/IVs0JrudJTc

A climate trigger was “actually proposed back in 2005 by Mr Albanese, who, as shadow environment minister, wanted to fix this "glaring gap" in the laws.”

🔥 CLIMATE ACTION AT JOSH BURNS' OFFICE 🔥 Yesterday we took our voices directly to @joshburnsmp's office to protest Labor's approval of the North West Shelf gas project - a climate bomb that will release 6.1 BILLION tonnes of emissions. #protest #gas #climate #environment #australia 1/3

Protesters outside Labor MP Dr Carrina Garland electoral office #australia #auspol #protest #politics #environment

More from Canberra - Discobedience turned up🕺🪩 to the Australian federal Environment Department

As #auspol approves huge gas extraction to 2070 #australia #climate #climatechange Earth will cross a key climate threshold in two years. Here’s why it matters. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... archive.md/M9z1k

One of the best things we can do right now is support this High Court challenge from a traditional owner (if you have capacity) #climate #firstnations #law #environment chuffed.org/project/1057...

@albomp.bsky.social claims we need gas for #australia #energy transition. Tax to profit ratio is obscenely low (think Norway). Make Woodside pay for increased damage from severe fire & drought from climate heating. What environment & climate will be in 2070? #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Pissed off NORTH WEST SHELF GAS APPROVED to 2070? In Melbourne? NAARM SNAP ACTIONS details in alt text of this tile. #auspol #climatechange #politics #protest #australia #gas

“Consideration of projects under the EPBC Act does not allow the minister to consider climate impacts of a project.” #auspol We know. That’s why you 1) exclude climate trigger from environment law 2) made a bogus ‘safeguard’ with loopholes that doesn’t allow a minister legal right of refusal.

His biggest job will be to counter the attempt from some vested interests to prevent the shift to to a low-carbon economy #climatechange #economy #politics #energy Of course, a clean energy future that benefits everyone is not what our elites want. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“There is no gas shortage. Gas companies are gold medallists in avoiding tax" #auspol #fossilfuels @albomp.bsky.social How do we live in a world where fossil fuel approvals continue as our climate & environment are destroyed? youtu.be/GJLW0iOLvRw?...

GOOD NEWS - among my many hats I'll be contributing to @australiainstitute.org.au's climate and energy analysis :) First post: how the Safeguard Mechanism provides fake regulation for carbon bomb sites like Woodside's North West Shelf
