A message from forest defender Ali Alishah, who was today released from Risdon Prison in Lutruwita / Tasmania after spending three months in jail for peacefully defending ancient trees from logging in the Styx Valley of the Giants. #politas #endnativeforestlogging

“Ali Alishah is nature’s recidivist. Jailing people for their love of nature is a losing strategy, it sets off a tidal wave of resentment. The answer is simple, end native forest logging” — Bob Brown. #politas

The Great Barrier Reef is seeing unprecedented coral bleaching.

“Up to half may die” according to the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

This is a very sick, bleached brain-coral on the reef flat at Heron Island, 2 weeks ago.

It was the sole surviving colony of this species that I could find.

The rest died when sea temperatures on the reef flat reached 34C.

Tanya Plibersek and Vic state environment minister Steve Dimopulos were told the gliders were there, but went ahead with their logging plans. It's devastating to see first hand the impacts of this destruction on our most endangered and precious species.

A recent attack by Indian PM Narendra Modi on the opposition’s Rahul Gandhi has stunned pundits. Modi accused Gandhi of taking vanloads of cash from Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, but it’s Modi who is widely seen as favouring the two magnates. #StopAdani

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of IMAS emergency report on the plight of the endangered Maugean Skate & still there has been no real action to save it. Tanya Plibersek must act now to save this species by removing toxic fish farms from Macquarie Harbour. #politas

This is horrific. An Endangered greater glider found dead next to a department logging site in Victoria — where native forest logging is continuing under the guise of 'Forest Fire Management'. #Endnativeforestlogging
