NT Buffel Election scorecard. Vote Greens or independents for action on buffel. Buffel reflects where the parties stand on the environment. The ALP has no strategy/commitment and the coalition is worse. #buffelgrass @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social @biodivcouncil.bsky.social #buffel

NT candidates’ Dingo Protection Election scorecard. Great to see commitment from Greens and our great local First Nations candidates, including a dingo dreaming holder. Crickets from the major parties. #dingoes

Of course Glencore’s response is not concern or to apologise but to dispute the findings and delay doing anything while they ponder what might be “practicable and feasible”. Of course the Australian government won’t do anything to insist on accountability. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

These grifters won’t take any responsibility for the environmental impacts of buffel. Bad enough but 3 NT Cattlemen’s Association members have forced their way onto the NT Weeds Advisory Committee. No other industries get a seat. Nor does an environmental org. www.beefcentral.com/news/ca-chie...

“Promising to reduce the size of the public service is a cheap political stunt.” New research shows that sacking public servants actually costs the country a fortune, as public jobs are replaced by consultants, contractors and labour hire workers. New research from @futurework.org.au #auspol

Labor backbenchers, Labor Environment Action Network LEAN & ACF members can be big mad or earnest as they want But if they keep voting Labor, party leadership'll keep taking them for granted & sideline the environment whenever it's politically convenient (but use words like necessary, balance etc)

Amazed - 6 months on from buffel weed declaration in the NT there are still NO road signs. (The signs pictured here are from SA.) Signs are an education opportunity. There are also responsibilities under the Weeds Act about transport, spread and reporting. These need to be communicated.

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org
