Extreme heat. Floods. Droughts. Wildfires. Rising sea levels. To tackle all these symptoms of the climate crisis, we need to fight the disease that causes them. The disease is the addiction to fossil fuels. The disease is climate inaction. Leaders across the board must wake up

Peak Australia media to let every single panellist speak on inflation except the Nobel prize winning economist

I didn't just get the Boris Johnson thing right. I said just after the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, that our politicians would never deliver the solutions to the climate and ecological crisis they promised, because they were fixated on economic growth. You can't have both. 12/

A sustainable system, is simply one not heading towards collapse. Based on an understanding of the natural systems, which keep us alive, and not the denial about our reliance on natural systems, which exists in the current growth obsessed human system. 20/

In 90 secs Joseph E. Stiglitz explains what's causing inflation: "Neoliberalism has given full rein to the growth of market power," "Sectors of the economy where there is more market power, have had more inflation. We call it greedflation." On #QandA last night. #auspol

With his comments about immigration this week, Peter Dutton has wilfully inflamed fears and fomented disunity in Australia for political gain. He wants to lead our country but he keeps dividing us. Someone's always 'the other' for him. This race to the bottom on immigration

We’re taking our campaign to ban all gambling ads to the streets of Goldstein. Like and share if you want to see the end of these ads here in Australia.

Our bill also delivers paid prac for teaching, nursing, midwifery and social work students. And we're helping more Australians access fee-free uni ready courses. Education changes lives. We want to make it more affordable for Australians.

Just then, in the House of Representatives, the government introduced the legislation that will wipe $3 billion in student debt for 3 million Australians. The Education Minister said that young people - including the 288,000 who signed my record-breaking HECS petition - "made

Watch ABC’s Four Corners on Monday for an exposé on how the NT’s iconic rivers and bush are at risk from cotton, fracking and a litany of conflicts of interest. We don’t want a repeat of the Murray Darling basin disaster up here in the Territory. That’s where it’s heading.

David Littleproud just claimed on #insiders that landholders don’t get any payments for hosting transmission infrastructure. Does he actually know what is happening in regional Australia? The truth is landholders receive $200,000 for each kilometre of transmission, providing

Still in shock about 4 Corners and wondering how the hell it got to this? The excellent Suejackson.bsky.social breaks down the appalling state of water management in the NT. We need a Royal Commission - we can’t trust the NT to fix this. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Australians have had it with aggressive & condescending behaviour in parliament. It drives away future leaders & makes a mockery of communities. Parliament should set the standard for how we act at work, not be the exception. Integrity starts at the top. theguardian.com/australia-news…

This whole project stinks & needs investigating. Taxpayers shoudn't be subsidising a petrochemical precinct to the tune of $1.5bn that could increase cancer rates x 4 and risks huge harm to cultural heritage, our climate and the environment. abc.net.au/news/2024-08-2…

So the earthquake today was in one of the places where Peter Dutton plans a nuclear power station #auspol

Gina Rinehart is a billionaire who inherited her wealth and kept it all by suing people. I don’t care what she thinks our defence policy should be and I certainly care to have her decide whether my son or anyone else’s son should have to do compulsory national service.

David Speers: “I know the point you’re trying to make.” Bill Shorten: “Well let me make it because not everyone is as telepathic as you.” 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏

Today is the last day of coal powered electricity in Denmark. Block 3 at the Esbjerg plant will close down today. At its peak it used 500.000 tonnes per year, emitting 1,2 million tonnes of CO2 yearly. A good day for the climate 😊
