How can Coalition & Labor govts not only stand by & watch the wholesale destruction of the Great Barrier Reef but actively lobby AGAINST listing it as 'in danger' AND keep subsidising & approving the fossil fuel projects that are killing it?

Outrageous failure of the #EPBC Tanya Plibersek. We are in the middle of a biodiversity and climate crisis, our national nature law is meant to protect nature and wildlife from destruction like this

Excellent analysis from Annabel Crabb abc.net.au/news/2024-05-0…

Huge congrats, Murrawah! I was lucky to work with Murrawah and the Youth Verdict team on this brilliant case against Clive Palmer's Waratah coal mine in Central QLD + attend the on country hearings in Gimuy/Cairns with the QLD Land Court. So well deserved. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-3…

Brilliant to work on this show with CNN and host their team on the #greatbarrierreef , just as the mass bleaching event was beginning to unfold in mid-Feb. Highly recommended viewing

Genocide edition.cnn.com/2024/04/22/mid…

The callous and continuing disregard for human life by the Israel armed forces is so evident that genocide deniers really have to ponder their own lack of humanity

I wonder are @unesco buying the 💩 that Australian Labor is doing everything it can protect the #greatbarrierreef to avoid being listed as 'In Danger'? Australian Institute of Marine Science literally just released their reef snapshot saying that a severe mass bleaching event in underway #climatecrisis

Let me guess that the official response from the Australian government, Anthony Albanese Senator Penny Wong, will be “extreme concern” over the killings, and then proceeding to do absolutely nothing about it. Israel impunity only exists because states like #Australia have allowed it for decades

This is the work of aid workers from World Central Kitchen who were reportedly massacred in an Israeli airstrike today: feeding starving Gazan families. An Australian worker reportedly killed. Shame on all leaders who have not once held Israel to account & gave it impunity to kill civilians

WTAF is this??

Joint Greenpeace Australia Pacific
Wilderness Society QLD Conservation Council investigation out today exposes major flaws in #EPBC which allows destruction of threatened species habitat to occur unchecked, with six instances referred to Fed Gov. #deforestation #extinction abc.net.au/listen/program…

Ridiculous that ISBA-HQ would consider removing Greenpeace International observer status at these crucial meetings to protect our oceans from #DeepSeaMining . Peaceful protest must never been criminalised or punished, it's a pillar of democracy that must be protected bbc.com/news/science-e…

My remarks a few weeks ago to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Gaza. The international community has done nothing to prevent Israel's campaign on genocide and starvation. The world's governments are complicit. It is time to sanction Israel to ensure an immediate ceasefire.

Every carbon offset bought by gas and coal companies under the Australian Government's Safeguard Mechanism enables MORE emissions. Damning analysis by Climate Scientist. Bill Hare

The green corals are already dead, colonised by algae.

Great story in ABC today about media reporting of #climatechange & how it's failing to address the scale of the crisis we face. 'This is not even the new norm, it's the lowest level of the new norm. What we're expecting is much, much worse.' Richard Yin abc.net.au/news/science/2…

THE FOREVER WAR It's a 'blunt lie' that Israel is doing everything to avoid civilian deaths, says a former Israeli army commander. Israel has no alternative, says ex Foreign Minister. We interview an ex PM, 2 ex chiefs of Shin Bet on this war
