Since Campbell Newman ripped up protections for the Channel Country, Labor has broken two election promises in a row in 2015 & 2017, letting big fracking companies like Santos into these crucial waterways.

We are in the middle of a climate crisis. We should be investing in publicly owned clean energy, triggering a jobs & investment boom across the state. Instead, the Government are bending over backwards for a major fossil fuel corporation, yet again.

Santos are a major donor to both Labor & the LNP - they have given $37,000 to Queensland Labor & $35,635 to the LNP since 2016. Santos also benefit from Labor’s mining royalties freeze. Only the Greens support a ban on fracking & getting big money out of politics.

As Milan reopens, it is giving more of its previously traffic-choked streets to pedestrians and cyclists - for good. This is a small glimpse of what the recovery stage should look like. We don't need to go back to "normal" when normal was a crisis.

China was ranked #177th out of 180 the 2020 “World Press Freedom Index.” A 2019 report ranked China the 5th most censored country in the world. Chen Jieren has become the latest victim, sentenced to FIFTEEN years for online commentaries and citizen journalism, deemed critical.

The right's attack on Dr van Diemen is a new low in destructive character assassination, driven by bitterness at their own irrelevance. buff.ly/2VPJC9r

'If the Government genuinely wants to re-position Australia and be less reliant on a bully engaging in "economic coercion", it can't just leave business to business-as-usual.' #auspol #china #covid19australia #democracy #foreignpolicy

Encouraging coal and gas exploration in the name of "survival" is like ordering a year's supply of cheese and bacon burgers for someone with a history of serious heart disease. This is criminal. #ecocide #climatecrimes abc.net.au/news/2020-05-0…

A day after they announced the nation's biggest solar farm, the Queensland government is giving away a massive subsidy for coal and gas exploration 😠 We need #CoralNotCoal - contact your QLD MP today to demand that we rebuild with clean jobs. #qldpol abc.net.au/news/2020-05-0…

Absolutely disgusting. You'd think Qld would at least feign an interest in the climate emergency that is killing off this country's neighbours and its own people. Cronyism and corruption is alive and well despite #COVID19 #COVID19Aus #ClimateEmergency #qldpol #auspol #gas

Accessing help through centrelink is demoralising at the best of times. But try living in an extremely remote community with little phone or internet access and an agency that won't pay for culturally-trained remote staff. Sounds like there's a long day to go here. #firstnations

It's great to see some reasonably balanced mainstream media. More please. Btw we didn't 'escape' hefty fines, most of us did nothing illegal. Compare this to the govt encouraging thousands into encloses shopping centres without masks. Hmm. #NoGoingBack

And don't forget you can pause and even step outside to see some real nature. Listen in different directions, see what you can smell, which direction is the breeze coming from? Which birds can you hear and what are they doing? #natureconnection #mentalhealth

"Public Housing Renewal Program" handing over public housing space to help the rich get richer. Good old Melbourne. A tale of two cities: Why Melbourne's public and private residential towers are worlds apart abc.net.au/news/2020-07-0…

Agreed. Time to restore the balance and give recognition and acknowledgement, and power, where it's due. It's the only way forward for conservation and humanity.
