ā€œIt was our hope spotā€: Vast coral bleaching and now coral death has swept across Western Australia’s coral reefs - many, like the remote Rowley Shoals, were pristine spots. Government scientsts are seriously shaken by what they have seen. From me. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Currently in Tasmania the salmon industry is so toxic to the waterways they have to mass feed the stock antibiotics in order to keep yields. This is the industry the govt is protecting. Killing our clean waters, killing native fish, polluting our future #auspol #taspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

And I’m the MC šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‡ Join us #auspol

Economics is mainly about trade offs, the costs of choices… Politics is about the denial of trade offs, pretending ā€˜there is no alternative’ Australia must decide if it wants a 20 yr plan for gas expansion or reef tourism…it cant have both Wherever our gas is burned, it harms our reef #climate

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source. In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up. @ember-energy.org

We don't have good words to describe governments and companies that accept 'climate science', but will knowingly burn the world for short term gain. Australia's government is openly planning to supply the fuel for the world's self destruction. I wrote about it, for @crikey.com.au -->>

RECORD HEAT ALLOVER THE TROPICS Oceania,South Asia,North/Central/South Africa,Caribbean,Central and South America: in 2 days of June records broken EVERYWHERE including the tiny COCOS ISLANDS (Australia) max 32.0C Record for June yesterday More records in Africa (next post)

Blaming young people for climate change 🤯 What a staggering hypocrite If a young person flew a private jet continually for the next 250,000 years, it would be less emissions than the climate destroying NWS extension signed off by Meg O’Neill. womensagenda.com.au/latest/young...

Over 100 people turned up this morning outside Albo’s office to tell Labour to stop putting Woodside’s profits before people and the planet! šŸ“ø: AYCC NSW instagram.

Another ā€œonce-in-a-lifetimeā€ flood—while the govt approves Woodside’s gas project, locking in 4.4B tonnes of COā‚‚. We need a $10B Resilience Fund to prepare, not just recover. Disaster prevention is cheaper, smarter, and long overdue. #AusPol #ClimateAction

" the NWS shelf extension will be receiving around $5.1 billion a year in royalty-free gas, or $14 million each day, or $215 billion over the project’s 46-year life." Great gas giveaway: $215 billion in royalty-free gas www.thenewdaily.com.au/finance/2025...

In light of the terrible decision by the govt to approve the NWS extension, watch this doco on Murujuga Rock Art by @stephenlongaus.bsky.social and @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=Bj9V...

"Approval of the North West Shelf extension would be easily one of the worst decisions ever made by an Environment Minister in Australia's history," said @grogsgamut.bsky.social.

This is code red everyone.

Today is National Sorry Day. I want to say sorry for the Stolen Generations. Sorry for the record numbers of First Nations children in out of home care today. We need to understand this is not the past, the injustices and trauma continue. We must Listen. Learn. Act #SorryDay

Heard our PM on radio today on the catastrophic floods in NSW and speaking of #climatechange He acknowledges that the science is in, things will get worse... SO... Stop clearing native forests! Stop approving new fossil fuel projects! Stop land clearing! FFS, am I going mad??

The Bounceback program is one of Australiaā€˜s most successful landscape-scale conservation programs. Three decades of cooperation between government, landholders, & land-managers has firmed up threatened species & allowed reintroductions of locally extinct ones šŸŒ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

This is very good.

Posting here because the other place is a toxic cesspit - and you don't have to donate! Just taking the time to engage with the Institute's work is more than enough and we are very grateful. If you do choose to donate - thank you sincerely. Take care of you x

Another big battery joins the grid in South Australia as state heads towards 100 pct net renewables reneweconomy.com.au/another-big-...

This is a huge test for the new Environment Minister www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05.... Approving (extending) this climate bomb would be a climate and environmental disaster.

The Murujuga rock art is one of Australia's most priceless heritage sites. And it's being slowly destroyed. If Environment Minister Murray Watt approves the 50 year extension to the North West Shelf, it will be a death sentence for Murujuga. #savemurujuga #auspol @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social

Monday morning Melbourne…..the bird bath has ice on it🄶

Glossy black cockatoos could be pushed towards extinction in Victoria if burns go ahead, experts warn

Bring back the yellow book to travel.

indies are facing this & worse every day at pre-poll. āž”ļø misleading flyers āž”ļø nasty attack billboards āž”ļø verbal abuse & intimidation all of it from liberal-aligned front groups. we're QUADRUPLING donations to help them fight back! chip in belowšŸ‘‡ www.climate200.com.au/campaign/inc...

Voters deserve better than spam texts and misinformation. I've long called for truth in political advertising laws and a ban on unsolicited political messages. It's time our electoral laws caught up with community expectations. #IntegrityInPolitics #AusPol #VoterProtections

We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself. - Prof. Brian Cox

Dutton…..

I guess the issue of abortion is settled in ā€˜the men are talking’ party then

Mainstream media commentators have spent the campaign with holier-than-thou laments about the narrow focus and absence of vision of the major parties. But completely fail to own their own industry's role in actively promoting racism and disinformation like this. #ausvotes #hypocrisy #auspol

ā€œPromising to reduce the size of the public service is a cheap political stunt.ā€ 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

Only Peter Dutton and the Liberals could look at the climate crisis and decide the solution is to make gas guzzling American utes cheaper and EVs more expensive. It’s like they sat down and asked: ā€œWhat’s the worst idea we can think of?ā€ Then doubled it. #auspol

Probably worth a bit more attention than it is receiving. ā€œWith the ongoing bleaching it’s almost overwhelming the capacity of people to do the monitoring they need to do...that this most recent, global-scale coral bleaching event is still ongoing takes the world’s reefs into uncharted waters."

In Perth next week? I’ll be in town talking about how science says approving new gas and coal projects cause climate change…and how economics says the coal and gas industry don’t pay much tax… and how successive governments have ignored science and economics to pretend we need more coal and gas

I’ve always loved Julia Zemiro ā¤ļø

The Liberals pork barrel, the media shrugs. Just another day in Australian politics. Amelia Hamer promises $400k, media show up like they're the Liberal party's contracted PR firm, and ask nothing, and miss everything. I have important receipts. /1

It's perfectly legal to lie in a political ad in Australia. Companies can't lie about their products, so why can parties lie about their opponent's policies - or their own? Australia needs national truth in political advertising laws. @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol

Extraordinary or flat out made up? ā€œPenny Wong takes aim at Peter Dutton over ā€˜extraordinary’ claims about Indonesiaā€ #auspol #nationalsecurity www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I gotta say, ā€œwomen are going to spaceā€ sounds a lot nicer than ā€œthe ultra rich are taking hyper-polluting joyrides to space while the planet descends into climate chaosā€

From slashing jobs in the Federal Department of Education, to witholding funding from schools not teaching what he wants taught, Peter Dutton's plan for education sounds eerily familiar...

BREAKING: Spruiking Premier David Crisafulli's "Adult Crime, Adult Time" David Littleproud announces Qld will implement remote outback camps for juvenile offenders. "In my home state again, & I'd encourage every state to do this, we're going back to outback camps." #qldpol

Trumpism is alive and well in the LNP. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

People often ask me, how do you keep going in the face of such sustained harm to the environment? My answer is always the same, it's the many amazing people, like Eva Czislowski, that give me hope & strength to keep fighting. Thank you, Eva, & thank you @australia.theguardian.com for this series.
