It’s 39 degrees Celsius outside, still Spring & us Sydneysiders know which way the wind is blowing. So if you’re lucky enough to be inside NOW is a good time to write to the Minister for Environment and say put #Climate and #Environment first. Please.

🚨Right now, the Albanese government is making the most important changes to our national environment laws in a generation.

It’s time for clear, enforceable standards that actually protect the places and wildlife we love.

Why was David Marr so obsessed that Chris Hedges' tour was being organised by an anti-genocide advocacy group, but not at all concerned that the National Press Club is sponsored by the wealthiest, most complicit genocide enabling weapons manufacturers in the entire world? 🤷‍♂️

Koala protections need to come before development or koalas will die - 50 so far in 3 years on Appin Rd. Wildlife Underpass stalled by Developers squabbling over access. #Stockland and #Lendlease stop putting profits before nature.

How a koala conservation success story became a political embarrassment

Koala deaths on Appin Road are not unusual this time of year, but the fatality of rescued koala Gage is cause for more than the usual frustration and despair.

The biggest source of our carbon emissions driving climate disaster and destroyers of vital land, water and nature - and source of human suffering - no more fossil fuel approvals #AlboMP

✍️ ADD YOUR NAME: Phase out fossil fuels

Emissions reduction targets won’t solve the climate crisis if they’re built on fiction. It's time for the government to tackle the biggest source of carbon emissions in Australia – fossil fuels.

Having dropped a carbon bomb approving Woodside’s Burrup Hub the PM has gone into hiding and closed his electoral office.
It’s a betrayal and will deliver climate peril.
#KnittingNannas want to have a yarn with our PM and will be waiting for him to show up for the climate Mon 15 Sept 10am #albomp

Albanese lied saying new gas is required for the transition. It’s not true. If he continues with Woodside’s NWS expansion to 2070 he and Murray Watt will go down as climate criminals.

Michael Dowling aka MeckeringBoy @meckeringboy.bsky.social · Sep 11

There can be NO EXCUSE for Australia giving Woodside NWS gas extension approval. Most of the toxic fossil methane gas would be exported with only a TINY profit for Australia & Australians.

Gas is NOT needed & its extraction DELAYS the transition to renewables.

We’re ALREADY in a climate EMERGENCY.

Larissa Waters @larissawaters.bsky.social · Sep 11

The Prime Minister is at the Pacific Islands Forum, where Pacific nations are on the frontline of the climate crisis.

They have called many times for Australia to stop opening new coal & gas.

But this Gov listens to its fossil fuel donors over our Pacific neighbours.

An anti-semitism envoy who WON'T use her speech to condemn Nazis marching in the streets, sharing platforms with politicians, and bashing Aboriginal people -- but WILL strip funding from unis and arts orgs that don't silence criticism of Israel. Got it.
