This is hypocrisy from Labor. They are supporting the divisive stadium project which will add extra billions to Tasmania’s debt. #politas
Treasury projects Tasmania's net debt will reach $13 billion by 2027-28. The Tasmanian Liberal’s cannot be trusted with the Tasmanian economy #netdebt #auspol #politas @TasmanianLabor @australianlabor.bsky.social

The US Republicans lost biggly this week. One reason seems to have been their opposition to renewable energy. Australian conservative parties should take note. #auspol

So, Sussan Ley and the Libs are seriously considering pulling Australia out of the Paris Climate Agreement, all because that’s what Matt Canavan wants. #auspol

AUKUS will not make Australia safer.

It makes Australia more vulnerable and compromises our ability to make independent decisions about our own security.

Jade has seen climate damage up close - from fires on Kangaroo Island to the SA algal blooms.

It’s time to COMMIT to phasing out fossil fuels and protecting what we love.

The cost blowout continues. The fact is, while the parliament is meant to be voting on this crazy project in November, the government will not know the cost of the project until final contracts are signed later next year. The biggest blank cheque in Tasmania’s history.#nonewstadium

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

I have a question for US politico-theology experts. The #rapture is due any minute now. Are we expecting more Democrat or Republican senators to be zoomed up to heaven? Is this part of God’s plan to have Trump impeached?

The government have announced the 2035 Climate Targets will be 62-70% emissions reduction.

This is not enough. After the release of the alarming National Climate Risk Assessment, we are ashamed and disappointed the government has set such a dangerously low target.
