Sadly many Australians don’t understand a) how voting works and b) the importance of a hung parliament.

"The Albanese Government is investing more than $600 million to better protect threatened plants and animals."

For context the the Albanese Government gave $12billion in spending & tax concessions to fossil fuels in the year 2024-2025. #auspol #climate

"...there’s things every Australian can do to help, like keeping pets from wandering, planting more native gardens..."
Sure, we can do that.
But it’s hard to see the point while our governments are using public money to actively fund extinction.
#auspol #climate

screenshot from murray watt's media release https://minister.dcceew.gov.au/watt/media-releases/recognising-threatened-species-day. text captured says:

Minister for the Environment and Water Murray Watt said the Albanese Government is committed to no new extinctions.

“Sadly native wildlife continue to be threatened by feral predators, climate change, natural disasters, and by illegal wildlife trade and other human activity,” Minister Watt said.

“So today, on Threatened Species Day, I thank all people, researchers and groups who are supporting Australia’s threatened species. From those working directly with plants and animals, to those who are exploring new ways to tackle threats.

“While some of the work being undertaken is highly-skilled, there’s things every Australian can do to help, like keeping pets from wandering, planting more native gardens, reporting illegal wildlife activities, and stopping pollution in our oceans and waterways.

“We are committed to taking action to support threatened species and their habitats and that work is delivering great outcomes.

“There’s a long way to go, but it’s critical we protect Australia’s amazing and diverse plants and wildlife.”

Fossil fuel subsidies now dwarf Australia’s disaster fund and exceed the balance of its housing future fund... yet the polluters still get VIP access.

I feel like today is a good day to remind everyone that just last year Barnaby Joyce called on a crowd of cookers to say “goodbye” to 3 Labor MPs inc the PM by getting ready to “load that magazine” & think of a “bullet” when casting their vote.
And received no penalty or censure.

The Albanese government will give mining companies and other stakeholders draft extracts of its environmental protection laws before they go to parliament, as Environment Minister Murray Watt tries to rebuild trust after earlier negotiations on the reforms collapsed in acrimony.
