Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

They call it "taking out the garbage" when they release bad news on a late afternoon before a public holiday. Perhaps this will be released a 4:59 pm on the Thursday before Good Friday?

Distressing seeing natural wonders being killed by warming. Yet Woodside wants to expand gas in WA. We have enough for the transition - we just allow multinationals to export it instead. What are we doing? Where is the moral courage to change course? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Are you struggling to pay your bills? Because the gas industry isn’t. If you've paid ANY tax, you've paid more tax than the gas export industry has EVER paid in resources tax. How is that fair? #auspol Add your name to the petition to make big gas pay their fair share: theaus.in/increasePRRT

The climate crisis is exacerbating cost-of-living: 🟠 Insurance premiums soar with more natural disasters 🟠 Food is up 20% since 2020, as climate disruptions wipe out harvests 🟠 Energy costs remain high due to a reliance on fossil fuels, underinvestment in renewables, and fossil fuel exports

"Australia is not small. We’re just told that it is when our leaders want to avoid intl responsibility. "As the world’s 13th largest economy, with a GDP about the size of Russia’s, our choices matter. "What happens in Australia matters globally." @pollyjhemming.bsky.social #ClimateIntegrity

In the absence of Government leadership, the private sector is calling for real climate action; real zero, not net zero. Industry and community leaders are calling for the Government to rapidly phase out fossil fuel subsidies and stop approving new gas and coal mines. #auspol

A word about the housing crisis & whose grubby fingers are all over that pie.. John Howard & his bud Costello. In 1999 Howard govt changed negative gearing & capital gains tax concessions to boost residential investment. Howard -the tax-free gift to property investors & the burden we all now bear

Thinking a lot about this comment from Zoe Daniel during her #npc speech… ‘The real risk is expecting the same people to address the problems they created’ #auspol

Remember how HoWARd, Abbott, Turnbull, Morrison, Dutton LNP not only failed to act on #climate, but actively set about undermining it. They destroyed the price on carbon and set about INCREASING extraction and burning of fossil fuels. These are some of the consequences of their actions. #auspol

Sadly, ignorance and belief in simple solutions attracts people to bad faith actors such as Dutton. He'll be retired or dead well before the chaos he causes hurts the generations to come. We have to urgently get off fossil fuels. Dutton is planning their increased use. He must love air pollution.

Peter Dutton is worth $300mill. How? Policeman to politician. How? He was a minister in a Liberal Govt.

Carbon Mapper now has some visuals of carbon dioxide plumes online, including this 450 tonne per hour one right over Gorgon LNG terminal. This one was seen during a time when the CCS was operational and ironically you can see some CCS injection sites in this pic. The plume is about 7 km long.
