When you re-write Australia's Environment laws, @albomp.bsky.social, just remember these five words ...
The #climate is the #economy.
That ought to be enough to ensure the legislation is both adequate & correct, right?

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.
