The major parties don’t want a duty of care on climate because it would mean they’d have to put Australians & our futures ahead of the fossil fuel industry - an industry that is putting short term profits ahead of people & our future.

Let’s change that this electionπŸ‘‡

WA premier lobbied Albanese to kill Greens deal on environmental reform in eleventh hour intervention After an intense day on Tuesday of last-minute negotiations and lobbying by environmental and mining groups in which a deal was said to have "come close", the government has now shelved the talks.

The WA state Labor Party and national Labor Party are as pathetic at protecting the environment as the corrrupt coalition that preceded them www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Big fines for major supermarkets a step closer Dodgy supermarkets could be hit with fines of $10 million or more.

Crippling food & grocery prices are a huge part of the cost-of-living pain Australians feel.

Really disappointing to see govt introduce the mandatory code on the second last sitting day - too late for it to pass parli this year.

Get your priorities right

Says it all really….

The window of opportunity to take action to prevent extreme heat events has long passed, Pfautsch says. β€œIt should have happened 20 years ago. Now all we can do to really keep people safe – because they die from heat – is to adapt.”

Trump joins Putin, Xi and Modi as the β€˜four horsemen’ of global authoritarianism Donald Trump’s return has normalised and supercharged authoritarianism internationally, making it the rule rather than the exception.

Govt openly admitting it wants to entrench the two-party system 🀯

But communities around the country want to see more competition & authentic representation

πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ίns pay the price for duopolies & lack of competition

Gambling ad restrictions face delay until next year Sky News has revealed the Albanese government's proposal to ban or restrict gambling advertising has been delayed until 2025.

Gutless from Govt.

There’s a clear path through parliament for gambling advertising reform with support of crossbench - even the coalition to a point.

Why won’t they prioritise an issue that’s so important to our communities & protecting young people?
