Honestly, Tanya Plibersek & Senator Nita Green, do you think we’re idiots or do you know something about physics and chemistry that we don’t?

You can’t keep approving more coal and gas while pretending you care about climate change and the Great Barrier Reef greens.org.au/news/labor-tak…

*If* wildlife spotters and catchers aren’t checking trees before they’re destroyed, animals such as this devine baby black-footed tree-rat, a listed threatened species, are almost certainly being condemned and crushed to death.

Is this your ‘Nature Positive’, Tanya Plibersek?

So Tanya Plibersek found Whitehaven Coal is a 'suitable person' to take over a Qld coal mine because her department found 'no env compliance matters to report'.

JFC, just search for 'Whitehaven enviro breach'!!!

Trees & their hollows are homes for wildlife, including threatened species such as the Gouldian finch, black-footed tree-rat & northern brushtail possum. Today they're being destroyed at Lee Point in Darwin, after @Tanya_Plibersek's approval. Ecocide in action. Environment laws?

The bulldozers destroying habitat for endangered Gouldian Finches, black-footed tree rats and over 270 bird species at Binybara/Lee Point.

This is a place beloved by thousands of people across Darwin. Its loss is a failure of our environment laws, and deeply upsetting.

Shame Tanya Plibersek, shame!

Please, Tanya Plibersek, you can STOP this madness, today.

Please, don’t let something so precious be destroyed.

Save Lee Point, it’s an urban biodiversity gem that all should be able to enjoy!

Sorry, how is this in the best interests of society, & a safe & secure, liveable planet?

Another week, another new coal mining project seeking approval from Tanya Plibersek: EMR Capital and Adaro's Kestral coal mine in Queensland seeking to mine until 2050. Open for public comments for a whole two weeks...

Listen from 1:54:30 onwards in particular.

Prof. Gigi Foster:
'Seems to me more an article of faith and dogma than it does an article of science'
'If indeed it is true that increasing emissions causes climate change'
'Net zero religion'

I wrote something for Crikey about why Australia is taking SOOOO LOOOOOONG to fix its broken environment laws.

Oh to have the confidence of some.

“He also said conservation groups that have criticised the federal government for delaying the introduction of new environment laws should “take a chill pill” and that he believed they would ultimately be satisfied.”

Australian Labor promised to 'end the neglect' and help turn the tide on species extinctions and ecosystem collapse.

That commitment hasn't been honoured.

Anger as 'great browning' spreads along 1,000km of West Aust. coast

“It’s really tragic. The southwest of the state has always been a sanctuary – it’s the place you go to when it’s too bloody hot everywhere else. It’s just devastating…”

Piers Verstegen au.news.yahoo.com/anger-as-great…

So now Prof. Samuel tells us:

“To the conservationists in Australia, I would say just sit and wait, take a chill pill.”

thenightly.com.au/politics/natur…

Prof. Samuel's statement is equal parts insulting, naive, and laughable.

A reminder that survival of corals during an extreme heat event is more important than how many bleach or eventually regain their colour.

Heat exposure, bleaching intensity and mortality are all higher in 2024.

We are witnessing a global mass-mortality event.

Labor: Cancels 90% of their environmental reforms because coal and gas companies aren't a fan of them
Tanya Plibersek: 'Hey everyone, we're still doing 10%'

Seems like Tanya Plibersek Anthony Albanese don’t mind trashing their environmental credentials and Australia’s environment if it’s what the mining industry wants.

Labor must follow through on their full reforms promised to fix Australia’s environment laws - this year! #auspol

Plibersek scales back environment reforms as coral bleaching goes global. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

‘‘The government and the minister are doing everything exactly as they should be doing,’’ Prof. Graeme Samuel said.

Really?

Not from my reading of your review epbcactreview.environment.gov.au/resources/fina…
