Let’s end the age of plastic! - Greenpeace International I support a strong Global Plastics Treaty that cuts plastic production so that we can finally turn off the tap and end the age of plastic - for our communities, our country, and our planet. Join me

They knew.

They lied.

Plastic producers have known for more than 30 years that RECYCLING is NOT an economically or technically feasible plastic waste management solution.

Murray Watt has issued a $14million bandaid for the SA algal bloom situation. Meanwhile he graciously fosters the fossil fuel industry and their sponsorship of Labor.... and carries on regardless. #ClimateChange #AusPol

SA leaps into the unknown with political finance changes South Australia changes the way political parties are funded in a move other states will be watching closely.

Well, surprise surprise! The real impacts of rushed legislation championed by a 'bread and circuses' team of politicians? #auspol #SApolitics Great analysis from Bill Browne at @australiainstitute.org.au

Australia Emissions 101: It’s the exports. Where I step through the emissions impact of Australia’s fossil fuel exports so you don’t have to.

To understand and contextualise Australia's COP31 bid, you need to understand Australia's by far largest source of carbon emissions: its fossil fuel exports. @timinclimate.bsky.social does a great job at breaking it down: timinclimate.medium.com/australia-em...

My memory bank says Alexander Downer was the Foreign Minister when John Howard took us into an illegal war in Iraq.

And it has always been my opinion that Downer should in fact be standing with Howard in the dock at The Hague to answer charges of war criminality. #auspol #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten.
The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning.

a chart showing that australia sends most gas overseas

a chart showing that australia sends most gas overseas

not only does australia send most of the gas it extracts overseas, it uses more gas **just for preparing the other gas for sending elsewhere** than it does for all domestic gas power generation

Have a good long look at the second hand market and the smaller vehicles - you might be very surprised at how affordable they can be ..... and with the annual cost of ownership an order of magnitude lower than the average ICE vehicle ...

Do Not Pin Your Hopes for Guilt-Free Hamburgers on Seaweed The media is trumpeting studies that say we can drastically reduce cows’ methane emissions merely by feeding them a particular seaweed. But I did the math, and it doesn’t add up.

Kevin Andrews almost single handedly killed off a legitimate NT proposed law….all because of his dratted faith.

Politicians from across the aisle farewell β€˜man of conviction’ Kevin Andrews Family, friends and former prime ministers have gathered to farewell Liberal Party stalwart and former defence minister Kevin Andrews at a state funeral in Melbourne.

Bollocks. Andrews spent much of his time in politics trying to force his medieval Catholic superstitions upon the rest of us.
