The government knows climate disasters are escalating - but today Labor announced a target of 62-70% by 2035.

It’s weak, it’s dangerous, and it’s nowhere near what the science demands.

The climate impacts report is out. The only thing certain from this report is that heatwaves, major impacts to nature, and displacement due to sea level rise will become more widespread. Meanwhile, Advance is pushing to scrap net zero. #auspol #climatejustice

It's official – fossil fuel corporations have been directly linked to deadly heatwaves happening around the globe. But these corporations are still taking no responsibility for the climate disaster they're causing, often paying little or no tax. It's time to Make Polluters Pay.

Children are starving in Gaza. Aid is being blocked. Civilians are being killed. It’s time for Australia to act – not just with words, but with consequences. Australia must sanction Israel, recognise Palestine, halt weapon exports, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

That's why we're calling on the Albanese Government to finally end profit-led care and fund a public system that puts children first. Add your name to demand urgent reform and a public system that puts care before profit: www.getup.org.au/childcare-re...

The government is finally cracking down on dangerous childcare centres — proposing to give regulators power to strip funding when safety standards are breached. But here’s the problem: The profit-led system that allowed these failures to happen remains untouched.

Make no mistake: it’s a disastrous call. No amount of spin can turn decades more of gas into climate leadership. The story isn't over.

Breaking: Labor just announced its intent to approve Woodside’s gas expansion. Environment Minister Murray Watt has given Woodside 10 days to respond but all signs point to final approval — a move that would make this Labor’s first major climate decision of their second term.

These messages come from every corner of the country — from people worried about floods, fire, and fossil fuels; about the impact on Country, and the future we owe to the next generation.

We’re not staying quiet. We'll only get louder. Over 6,000 people have now called on Environment Minister Murray Watt and Labor to reject Woodside’s plan to keep drilling for gas until 2070.

Deciding on the North West Shelf project is one of the Albanese government’s first major decisions of their second term and it will set the tone for their climate legacy.

Close to 4,000 have already emailed Environment Minister Murray Watt, calling on him to stop Woodside’s plan to drill for gas until 2070. These are real messages, from real people, speaking from the heart about climate, about Country, and about the future we want to protect.

This is climate change

We need to call it what it is. Heatwaves, fires, and floods are a result of coal and gas corporations burning fossil fuels. This is climate change.

This is all unfolding into the first days of Labor’s second term — a moment that should mark a step up in climate ambition. As our hearts go out to everyone impacted, one thing is clear: climate chaos is here, and people already doing it tough are bearing the brunt.

Right now, communities on the NSW coast are underwater while others across the country are deep in drought. Emergency crews have scrambled to rescue people trapped by floodwaters while parts of SA, Victoria, WA and Tasmania face some of the driest conditions on record.

PM Albanese just announced his new cabinet. The real test begins now: will this government act on the big issues or keep playing it safe? From cost of living to climate and truth-telling, these are just some of the urgent fights this new cabinet can’t ignore.

This election, voters sent a powerful message: people across the country want action on housing, healthcare and climate – not fear & division. Now the hard work begins: holding the Albanese Government account and making sure the government delivers for all of us. Let's do this.
