This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

The major parties don't have the moral courage to protect the people and places we love. This election is an opportunity to vote for a candidate who will. Minority govt may be the only thing that forces the Govt to put 🇦🇺ns ahead of vested interests. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Here’s a peace plan!

The NACC's decision to not investigate robodebt seemed wrong to everyone but them. It's taken too long to correct the error. Geoffrey Nettle AC KC’s review should be public & the Commissioner should reconsider his position to rebuild public trust in the NACC. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

There is an alternative!

So-called ‘electoral reform’ has been pushed through the House this morning - debate on the major party stitch-up was gagged - both parties terrified of any scrutiny. They are losing public support so changing the rules to prevent future competition. A sad day for Australian democracy. #auspol

The Definition Of Tariff Is Ronald Reagan saying it is a trade war designed to hurt our friends and our economy.

#BREAKING Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social announces at our #ClimateIntegrity Summit he will be introducing the Ending Fossil Fuel Exploration Bill into Parliament tomorrow! "This just brings us into line with what many leaders in the world are already doing."

I admit that if this post went viral and one RT equaled one follow, I would be delighted!

Ketchup On Walls Alert: HIGH

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

A message from Dr Richard Yin, CCWA President: “…the marine heatwave off the Pilbara & Kimberley coasts has been devastating. Ocean temperatures reported as 4–5°C above average…30,000 fish killed, 10 whale deaths, & 200km of coral bleaching…” From Monthly newsletter www.ccwa.org.au/media_releases

Having worked in the sector and heard stories from constituents, I know how desperately we need more frontline FDV services. Glad to see WA getting much-needed funding and committing to match it.

We are destroying Nature - the very thing that sustains us. If we truly love this place we should look after it, pass laws to protect it and make decisions like we’re here for a long time. It seems neither major party is capable of that.

Labor really are a massive disappointment, on so many fronts. If you're concerned about environmental and climate breakdown, and why wouldn't you be, then vote for parties and politicians with strong environmental and climate policies a the upcoming federal election! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Get out the popcorn 🍿 this Monday 3rd February. Four Corners program is looking at the growing rise of community Independents in Australian politics and elections. Taking on the duopoly. You can also watch it on iview for free. Can Dutton survive in Dickson? I hope not. youtu.be/-kF2FSKa8mI?...

Absolutely on point for Australia's Labor government: they perceive any environmental issue as solved if they successfully sell it to the people as solved. There is no physicality or reality to any of these problems: just polls and perception and focus groups. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"I never said Brexit would be easy" says politician who definitely said Brexit would be easy.

I think growth that fuels the climate crisis is a short term illusion. Like a sugar rush. If we don’t get on top of the climate crisis the economic damage will drown out any gains from marginal projects like Heathrow - no amount of runways will save our economy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Closing time, earthlings. You don’t have to go to another planet but you can’t stay here.

Let’s fight elections with big ideas, not lies. AI is here but both major parties are dragging their feet in regulating it. We need to protect our democracy & ban deceptive uses of AI in elections. Voters deserve truth from their politicians. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

‘Catastrophic’: Great Barrier Reef hit by its most widespread coral bleaching, study finds www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘A Simple Ban on Political Lying Could Radically Transform Our Politics’ Just one small step would trigger a whole series of positive changes to democratic life in the UK, argues Neal Lawson bylinetimes.com/2025/01/22/a...

Trumpsters often say, “Politicians don’t keep it real or say what’s on their mind, but Trump does,” and that’s what they like about him. MAGA, please meet Anders Vistisen of Denmark… About Greenland: “Mr. Trump, f*ck off, It’s not for sale.”

⚠️ ICYMI: Goodbye, USA. 👇🏻 Watch the latest report from #BrokenNews, then please share. youtu.be/CrGpAIBc754?...

Today I was helping my firstborn pack to move house. The temperature reached at least 43°C. In Geraldton it reached 49.3°C. Welcome to the ever hotter planet. Brought to you by those sociopathic fossil fuel brands. Like Santos, Woodside and Exxon. Climate criminals must be held to account.

I love my country Australia.

Poisoned land and water stores are likely to be poisoned forever. Extinction is forever. The gas is a finite, short-term use, highly toxic, climate damaging, energy intensive to produce, product for the profit of mostly foreign, mostly non tax paying companies… How is this worthwhile?

Nice piece by Ajit on the proliferation of electric construction machinery in Oslo -->>>> www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
