This loud dog whistle a timely reminder Petaren’t Dutton is eminent unsuitable to be PM - shameful. 'Welcome to Country at sports games ‘divides the country’, says Dutton smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Great to see NSW finally backing local artists with the formal introduction of Michael’s Rule, a new initiative that encourages international tours to include Australian support acts on their lineup. The rest of the country better follow suit. Our industry needs it!

Looking forward to speaking at the Australian Conservation Foundation Foundations’ 60th in Sydney. Our community & membership based environment groups have fought to protect nature and it’s wonders, adding much to the quality of life in Australia. More to do, but what a great legacy to build on.

This is frightful & demands real action - it’s not just another news item. There are no excuses for government not to act, with tough pollution targets, no gas, fracking or export approvals. Time to reframe a whole of government response now. #climateriskassessment

Today at Jabiluka with Traditional Owner Yvonne Margarula & family, on their first “legal” return to country in 40+ years. Soon this land will join Kakadu NP after one of the most important land rights & conservation struggles in modern Australia. A really important day.

40 years ago, after a resolute, successful campaign get their land, traditional owners at Uluru showed incredible generosity by leasing the land to all Australians enabling the creation of Uluru/Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Our shows out there were amongst the most meaningful ever.
