Happy World Environment Day 💚 This year’s campaign is focused on tackling plastic pollution. Plastic pollution has doubled in just 20 years. 98% of plastics come from fossil fuels - polluting our planet, clogging our oceans, and our arteries. It’s time to move on from plastics.

Australia is no stranger to floods & droughts, but seeing both occur simultaneously on opposite sides of the Great Dividing Range is troubling. As our planet warms, these extreme weather events will become more frequent & severe. How much more devastation do our leaders need to see before they act?

Can our new environment minister fix our broken nature laws? Previously, reform was stalled by politics and pressure from the mining lobby. New leadership brings hope- but only if politicians stop caving to fossil fuel interests. These laws must protect nature, not polluters. #auspol

With stronger numbers in parliament, Labor is well placed to take decisive climate action. Now is the time to stop approving new coal and gas projects and ramp up Australia's investment in renewables. Our government must put the health of the people above the interests of the fossil fuel industry.
