A climate election? The Coalition wants to take Australia backwards, while Labor is standing still | Clear Air Depending on where things end up after Saturday, the biggest climate push may come from the crossbench

Given the reference article is 3 years old, how did the Australian plans work out?

With an Oz election on today perhaps this article helps to add some contemporary context

How has fascism in Britain got this far? Neoliberalism has opened the door for it | George Monbiot We need a new politics of belonging, not Labour’s craven appeasement of capital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Walkers from various clubs

🏏Valleys Cricket group walking in support of our clubs’ junior facilities- a 10 mile trek up the Rhondda today with 3 more days to come for the event. Well done to all involved-Hopkinstown for breakfast, Mike Cann for organising, Matt Maynard for the send off, Ed Rice of Glam for support👏🏽

Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate? Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority
