Who would’ve thought that the man who brought a lump of coal into Parliament and fled to Hawaii during the bush fires would’ve had a more progressive climate policy?

Absolute shame that our major party can’t do the bare minimum on climate.

We've seen again and again that our current anti protest laws are not about
"safety" but stifling genuine peaceful protest.

The issue isn’t face coverings, it’s that police are fine with Neo Nazis but not with those peacefully calling for an end to genocide.

NSW police approved a neo Nazi protest and are being rewarded with more powers.

Albanese and Minns are calling for legislation banning face coverings at protests.

We don't need to increase police powers and laws infringing on our right to protest.

We need an inquiry into NSW police.

If you haven’t seen much news about Palestine lately, it’s not because the killing stopped.

Israel has reduced coverage of the genocide, killing ~250 Palestinian journalists since Oct 7th.

Since the ceasefire, Israel has rejected 107 requests to bring aid into Gaza
and continued attacks.

Pauline Hanson skipped 2 weeks of Parliament to speak at a conservative conference hosted by Donald Trump’s luxury resort.

Tickets to the Conservative Political Action Conference cost between $5000 - $25,000 USD per person.

Hanson failed to attend Parliament for 2 weeks to say the following:

The Nats just scrapped net zero???

UN just said we failed to limit warming to 1.5 degrees and the Nats said okay let’s make things even worse.

The Nationals claim to represent farming and rural/regional communities, those on the frontlines of climate change.

Well, the Nats just scrapped one of their only climate policies - net zero by 2050.

They said yes to a future of climate change worsening housing, farming, and the cost of living.

Climate change is making the cost of living and housing more expensive.

Today, the Nationals just scrapped net zero by 2050 - a target that was a step towards taking climate action.

They represent some of the communities most affected by climate change…

Imagine being the party that represents farming and rural/regional communities on the frontlines of climate change, and then scrapping one of your only climate policies.

Well, the Nationals scrapped their net-zero policy today.

Wow, another temperature record broken.

Remember when that happened last week and last month and last year?

How many more before action of climate?

Support for One Nation has doubled since the last federal election.

Major Coalition members are also joining their party.

The growth of a party built on racism and exclusion should be a worry.

If there’s any time to show up, it’s now.

This Labor government is such a shame.

Environment Minister Murray Watt is trying to quietly rush reform of our environmental laws that will support corporations and their profits instead of actually protecting our environment.

Only 9 months into 2025, the number of Indigenous deaths in custody has surpassed previous annual records.

Instead of talking about this, our government is busy supporting genocide.

In June 2025, the court found that the death of Noongar Yamatji boy, Cassius Turvey, was racially motivated.

Now, only 9 months into 2025, the number of indigenous deaths in custody has surpassed previous annual records.

Instead of talking about this, our government is busy supporting genocide.

The ceasefire has not magically solved
Israel’s genocide and 76 years of illegal occupation.

In fact:

- Israel just shot a Palestinian journalist

- Israeli tanks are still firing towards Gaza

- Palestinians still do not have their land back

This isn’t diplomacy. It’s just supporting fascism.

So much for “Australian leadership” when our government is vague about supporting a fascist winning the Nobel Peace Prize…

Apparently every subtly racist government policy or ad is “not that deep.”

Then you wake up to a headline like this:

2 years since October 7th, of a genocide live streamed in front of our eyes.

In that time, our politicians have and continue to fail us.

So much so, it seems like we’ve decided to look to our pop stars and internet personalities instead of people who hold power to sanction Israel.

Albanese recognised Palestine, saying

“You can't just watch what is unfolding there and not have a response.”

But Australia hasn’t even sanctioned Israel.

And now, when Israeli authorities have abducted and abused Australian citizens from the Global Sumud Flotilla, Albanese is silent.

“We don’t provide arms to Israel.”

Albanese said that just days ago at the UN General Assembly in New York when recognising Palestine.

Imagine spending tax payer money to fly across the world to lie.

Oh my gosh. We are “warning” the man who is leading a genocide instead of sanctioning Israel?!

We must cut emissions by AT LEAST 75% by 2035 to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees.

The Albanese government’s target to cut emissions by 62% is supposed to be a “compromise.”

But this isn’t about pizza toppings; it’s SCIENCE. There are no compromises when we’re at 1.3 degrees of heating already.

We need to cut emissions by AT LEAST 75% by 2035 to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees.

The Albanese government’s target to cut emissions by 62% is seen as a “compromise.”

The thing is, we’re already at 1.3 degrees of heating, and you CANNOT COMPROMISE ON SCIENCE.

A major a UN report found Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.

Can we stop calling it a war or conflict now?

And @albomp.bsky.social can we sanction Israel now???

The Liberal party published this yesterday.

It’s either going to be us investing some money in renewables or a $600 BILLION hit to property value and spending $40 BILLION on disaster recovery in 2050.

Politicians throwing tantrums over net zero by 2050 is exactly why we’re going to have a 444% increase in heatwave related deaths.

"Now we will take the next step.”

That’s what the Labor government said after the release of the Climate Risk Report.

It’s as if they’ve never heard of climate change before.
