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/...

Australian fossil fuel giant Santos’ pursuit of the Environmental Defenders Office could lead to its closure. This is what SLAPP actions look like, and designed to silence an organisation that held fossil fuel companies to account. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

This is truly shameful. Years of work wasted and the Australian public interest sacrificed to MAGA billionaires and fossil fuels. The sixth mass extinction is underway and we’re passing 1.5C of climate catastrophe.

A "well-organised campaign" with "links to a climate change lobby." The "puppet" narrative began taking shape on Day 1 of @elliesmith4dickson.bsky.social's campaign. Well done, @couriermail.bsky.social hack Brendan O'Malley. That's the way to get ahead ... #NewsCorpse

30,000 fish have washed up dead on WA’s Pilbara coast. Authorities have linked the deaths to a climate-change-driven marine heatwave that is expected to continue over the next few weeks. This should be a wakeup call. Urgent #ClimateAction is needed to protect marine life, biodiversity & communities.

Pressure works. Labor says it will increase the fed share of public school funding to 25% and eliminate the 4% deduction loophole, which teacher unions and the Greens have been pushing for. But it looks like 100% funding is STILL a decade away. We look forward to more details in the coming days.

I still hear a lot of arguments on the left that we can persuade or recruit M*GA but I think it's naive, and privileged, to downplay them choosing violence, and there are a lot of other, more viable people to engage in progressive politics.

Maybe unpopular opinion, but I think we should stop calling it Mediscare, which implies scaremongering, and instead emphasize how in crisis much public healthcare is, and the high likelihood Liberals would cut funding even more if elected.

There's no way to fully measure how often a neighbor or stranger helps someone escape danger during a disaster like the wildfires in California. Research shows that, in critical moments, it's often family, friends, and neighbors who are most likely to save lives.

For once I'm relieved my father has dementia, and can't follow the news. It's bad enough we have to explain climate change, and inaction, to children. Elders who lost people from WW2 shouldn't have to learn, in their later years fragility, that these nazi scum are coming back.
