The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens.

He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions.

Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

Its a meaningless pledge that not even God can deliver, and the “new” looks suspiciously like a cop out.

"...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.”

If things were going to plan stuff like this simply wouldn't exist. The goal here is the elimination of fossil fuels, not "lots of batteries" or "lots of solar panels"

Imagine congratulating Hitler on ending the Holocaust by killing himself.

The #GazaHolocaust isn't even OVER but still "leaders" from all around the world are patting Trump & others on the fucking back!

Netanyahu, Biden AND Trump along with other "leaders" BELONG IN THE HAGUE!

… after theyr forged, we blast them with temps below 3000 …

😂🤣😂 3000 what? Its supposed to mean way below freezing cold, but there isnt a temperature scale in common use where 3000 is below freezing, or -3000 is a temperature.

A reminder.

Humanity has never removed an atmospheric pollutant at a global, continental or, even, regional scale — we have only ever shut down the source and let nature do the clearing up. This is the case for chlorofluorocarbons and stratospheric ozone destruction, for sulfur dioxide and acid rain, and for sulfur and nitrogen oxides and photochemical smog. We must be prepared for CDR to be a failure, leaving us to rely on the environment to stabilize atmospheric CO₂ over thousands of years. This is another argument for rapid decarbonization.

You actually don't need thousands of dollars sponsorship and a legal entity with staff and to consider political donation and lobbyist laws to kick the footy in the park opposite work, you can just go and do it but there is no hydration sponsor or free shoes. bsky.app/profile/kanc...

@australianlabor.bsky.social teaming up with Liberals again, to do the dirty on Australians and those who voted for them to fix environmental laws

Ebony Bennett @ebonybennett.bsky.social · 5d

Australia has one of the worst extinction records on Earth — and Labor’s doing a deal with the Coalition to overhaul nature laws.

Labor can’t protect nature while protecting polluters.
