Extremely disappointing, Senator Penny Wong. As a father, ecologist and conservation biologist I'm dismayed that like the LNP, Labor is literally burning our children's future. Both major political parties are failing Australia and humanity.

.Not ScoMo says it (Jan 26, 1788) “wasn’t such a flash day for the people on the vessels”. Show me the “flash days” Blackfullas have had since then? When you talk about “how far we’ve come”, you mean white prosperity. Coz I’m still set to die 10-15 years before my mates.

We’re entering a period of unprecedented global risk of superpower conflict, irreversible climate change, and technological disruption. COVID has shown us how broken our governments are. How the fuck are they going to get us through the next decade?

1000+ generations of humans were born, lived and died into a climate and technology that was essentially unchanged during their lifetime. Then oil came. And in 10 generations we have obliterated the natural and living worlds while triggering the 6th great extinction. It is us.
