This is a bad day for democracy in Australia. The major parties have stitched up a backroom deal together - to leave themselves the most gigantic loophole allowing them to shut out independents. They’re afraid of being held to account. #integrity #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022. they had two options to arrest the decline: 1. win back trust with good governance & good policy 2. rig the system tonight they chose to rig the system. a dark day for australian democracy.

Labor just voted with the Coalition to kill THEIR OWN Nature Positive reforms🤯 Enough crossbenchers voted to keep it alive in the Senate for Labor to have passed their long promised reform. Neither of the major parties will stand up for Nature 😥

Plibersek praised nature positive deal with Pocock and Greens as ‘critical’ before PM scrapped it, documents reveal

I noticed in the transcript the ABC host asked the PM three times about the t-shirt to get a response out of him. News Corp has barely (if at all from what I've seen) done a story on it, so it seems much of the outrage about it is being driven elsewhere. Kind of strange.

We missed a milestone. On January 15th, the 2-year running mean for the global surface temerpature anomaly reached 1.55°C above the 1850-1900 baseline. Goodbye Paris, we hardly knew ye.

Labor talk a big game on protecting Nature but consistently end up bowing to vested interests. From supporting native forest logging that costs taxpayers $$ to backing salmon farming that is sending the Maugean skate to extinction. It's a gutless approach. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If the UK govt follows through on plans to expand Luton and Gatwick airports, it will wipe out the climate benefit of its world-leading Clean Power Plan 2030 Adding Heathrow expansion would wipe out the pre-2050 climate benefits in just 5 years of operation neweconomics.org/2025/01/airp...

Not only is Australia underprepared and underfunded to defend itself properly from climate impacts, it's actively making the problem worse. #lafires

As climate change increases the risk of dry conditions and fire weather, fires across western NAm are bigger, more dangerous, and burning greater area. It’s the difference between accidentally dropping a match into a pile of green, wet wood versus dropping it into a stack of bone dry kindling.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

I think it's safe to assume everyone here agrees that a massive platform and proffit destroying migration off facebook is now an urgent civil duty given the dangerous and venal next-level enshitification announced today. So the question is: How can we help make this happen?

The latest data released by the Australian government shows that while the last third of the previous conservative leadership saw a decline in fossil fuel exports, the Labor party has overseen a steady resurgence - and is forecasted to continue that resurgence www.industry.gov.au/publications...

Due to the impeccable timing of a delayed official press release, you probably haven’t heard that 40% of corals on the southern Great Barrier Reef died in 2024 due to record-breaking heat exposure. www.voanews.com/a/surveys-sh...

My most interesting recent wildlife photo: so there's oviparous snakes, viviparous snakes and inbetweeny ovoviparous snakes, like these 12 Red-belly Black babies, in their birth-membranes then, 3 days later, the abandoned membranes.
