When I asked the Dept of Environment about how it manages conflicts of interest for consultants like EY, who work for Fossil Fuel corps at the same time as advising Environ Dept on climate change, they seemed happy to go with the status quo of self-disclosure. Not good enough.

Teachers pay more tax than the gas industry.
Read that again if you have to!

'We should prioritise Australians over multinational gas companies...they are total leeches on us...and yet we are continuing this gravy train into the future...
How do we explain this to our grandkids?'

Public servants tell Senator David Pocock that Australia's greenhouse gas emissions will go down when we open new gas projects.
I just...I just can't....

This is a genuine question: how does 'false and misleading evidence' in senate hearings interact with statements that are scientifically erroneous?

Japanese-gov backed hydrogen-CCS boondoggle in Victoria...

2022 - claims will create 30,000 jobs.

2023 - their own consultants, KPMG Australia put the number at 304.

Our billboard truck visited Chevron’s office to remind Western Australians whose fault it will be if there is a gas shortage in WA.

Chevron exports vast amounts of WA’s gas which they get royalty free…and rarely pay tax.

Western Australians are getting ripped off. #auspol
