The government is happy to lock kids up at 10 but will not allow kids on social media till they're 16.
Penny Wong and Australia were recognised as one of the 100 most influential climate leaders.

Our government made Tuvaluans enter into a ballot where only 280 out of its 3 THOUSAND entrants get a “climate visa” to Australia while approving fossil fuel projects that threaten islands like Tuvalu.

Reminder that Labor has made Tuvaluans enter into a ballot where only 280 out of its 3 THOUSAND entrants can get a “climate visa” to Australia while still approving fossil fuel projects that further threaten islands like Tuvalu.

Once again Labor are blaming The Greens for being “blockers” instead of admitting that they are asking The Greens to vote for watered down climate and nature policies.

Love that Murdoch media spent ages reporting how much hosting COP31 would cost Australia and is now reporting how much revenue Australia will lose because we aren’t hosting it.

Australia dropped its fight to host co-COP31 with the Pacific, being able to avoid the shame of being called out for its bs environmental laws, approving a huge gas project and its failure to actually support Pacific Islanders or Indigenous Peoples.

The hundreds of job cuts at CSIRO aren’t happening because the Albanese government is broke.

They’re happening because it’s choosing to pour $14.5 billion into coal, oil and gas subsidies instead of funding Australia’s own science agency.

Apparently, arming Israel in its genocide isn’t enough. Australia wants to increase arms exports to the UAE despite growing evidence that the UAE is arming the RSF, a group committing war crimes and an alleged genocide in Sudan.

I've loved seeing the joy that the end of the Monash Woodside partnership has brought people.

Criticizing fossil fuel sponsorship can feel lonely, but it turns out, lots of people want their education & workplace free from climate criminals.

We can have nice things without them.

Who would’ve thought that the man who brought a lump of coal into Parliament and fled to Hawaii during the bush fires would’ve had a more progressive climate policy?

Absolute shame that our major party can’t do the bare minimum on climate.

NSW police approved a neo Nazi protest and are being rewarded with more powers.

Albanese and Minns are calling for legislation banning face coverings at protests.

We don't need to increase police powers and laws infringing on our right to protest.

We need an inquiry into NSW police.

If you haven’t seen much news about Palestine lately, it’s not because the killing stopped.

Israel has reduced coverage of the genocide, killing ~250 Palestinian journalists since Oct 7th.

Since the ceasefire, Israel has rejected 107 requests to bring aid into Gaza
and continued attacks.

Pauline Hanson skipped 2 weeks of Parliament to speak at a conservative conference hosted by Donald Trump’s luxury resort.

Tickets to the Conservative Political Action Conference cost between $5000 - $25,000 USD per person.

Hanson failed to attend Parliament for 2 weeks to say the following:

The Nats just scrapped net zero???

UN just said we failed to limit warming to 1.5 degrees and the Nats said okay let’s make things even worse.
November 2, 2025 at 8:10 AM
The Nationals claim to represent farming and rural/regional communities, those on the frontlines of climate change.

Well, the Nats just scrapped one of their only climate policies - net zero by 2050.

They said yes to a future of climate change worsening housing, farming, and the cost of living.
November 2, 2025 at 8:04 AM
Climate change is making the cost of living and housing more expensive.

Today, the Nationals just scrapped net zero by 2050 - a target that was a step towards taking climate action.

They represent some of the communities most affected by climate change…
November 2, 2025 at 7:58 AM
Imagine being the party that represents farming and rural/regional communities on the frontlines of climate change, and then scrapping one of your only climate policies.

Well, the Nationals scrapped their net-zero policy today.

Wow, another temperature record broken.

Remember when that happened last week and last month and last year?

How many more before action of climate?

Support for One Nation has doubled since the last federal election.

Major Coalition members are also joining their party.

The growth of a party built on racism and exclusion should be a worry.

If there’s any time to show up, it’s now.

This Labor government is such a shame.

Environment Minister Murray Watt is trying to quietly rush reform of our environmental laws that will support corporations and their profits instead of actually protecting our environment.

Only 9 months into 2025, the number of Indigenous deaths in custody has surpassed previous annual records.

Instead of talking about this, our government is busy supporting genocide.

In June 2025, the court found that the death of Noongar Yamatji boy, Cassius Turvey, was racially motivated.

Now, only 9 months into 2025, the number of indigenous deaths in custody has surpassed previous annual records.

Instead of talking about this, our government is busy supporting genocide.

The ceasefire has not magically solved
Israel’s genocide and 76 years of illegal occupation.

In fact:

- Israel just shot a Palestinian journalist

- Israeli tanks are still firing towards Gaza

- Palestinians still do not have their land back

This isn’t diplomacy. It’s just supporting fascism.
October 10, 2025 at 7:39 AM
So much for “Australian leadership” when our government is vague about supporting a fascist winning the Nobel Peace Prize…
