Where's the actual Minister for the Environment and Water of Australia? Missing in inaction again?

treepete.bsky.social•53 minutes ago

No this just reaffirms why Labor and LEAN is a waste of time that provides cover for uselessness & mediocrity
Labor is where genuine environmental policy goes to be suffocated & die

Yes, it upsets me when people make disparaging generalisations about politicians - "Oh, they're all the same." "They're all looking after themselves." Pollies vary as much as the rest of us & many are genuinely idealistic, want to make the world a better place. #auspol #DontRiskDutton

Put simply, the hierarchy won't listen. Look at their track record. The hierarchy has a lust for power and live in comfortable bubbles courtesy of squillions of dollars in donations.

Are they willing to cross the floor when their principles call for it?

For now I'm voting independent ahead of Labor (and almost everyone ahead of the Coal-ition. But I'll be happy if there's someone in the ALP with actual backbone.

Josh Burns is the obvious one that should be opposed hard by progressive ALP voters.

chriswaterguy.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Why's that? (Genuine question.)

crumbo.bsky.social•18 hours ago

He is a big supporter of Israel and its genocide v Palestinians. Is definitely his most visible activity.

chriswaterguy.bsky.social•3 hours ago

(looking up...) okay, he talks about wanting peace with the Palestinians (he doesn't talk like a Ben-Gvir).
But he doesn't seem to criticise the Israeli govt's actions 😔

crumbo.bsky.social•1 hour ago

He plays the role of classic “liberal Zionist”, mumbling peace out one side of his mouth and Israel’s right to exist and “antisemitism” meaning Israel is beyond reproach out the other. People like him play a critical role in genocide enabling, even if they don’t go full Jewish supremacist.

But not at the expense of good Green and independent members who will actually vote in the parliament for strong climate and environmental action, rather than just supporting Albanese’s destructive legislation.

Will their party actually listen to them and translate this into meaningful action? Very disappointed by WA and federal labour on this front - particular when I visited my local member and she told me that cabinet didn’t listen to her so there was no point speaking up on environmental issues 🤷🏼‍♀️

Labor have been heartbreakingly disappointing on environmental issues in WA.

hopeberry.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Yep, with some pretty dire consequences 😕

itsonlydale.bsky.social•17 hours ago

So the environment minister doesn’t make the cut

itsonlydale.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Or the member for wills for that matter, are labor already conceding these seats to the greens?

raycar.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Alicia Payne hasn't said anything of note since Labor won in 2022. I am happy to be corrected.

66jayel.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I don't think the environment can afford to risk Labor either, frankly.

The only chance we have is a minority Labor government forced to be bolder on climate by Greens & Independents.

pabloriviera.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Reminds me of the "moderate" liberals. Somehow, sensible policy positions can't make it through the corporate lobbying approval process.

greghooper.bsky.social•19 hours ago

why does the parliament need people who vote against the environment and support things like AUKUS? Surely if you are interested in the environment you vote for individuals and parties that are pro-environment. Makes no sense to vote Labor if one supports good environmental outcomes
