The Albanese Government’s Integrity Report Card The Albanese Government faces key integrity failures in transparency, lobbying, and accountability. See how it can restore trust and reform democracy.

The Centre for Public Integrity looked at the Albanese government’s record on transparency and gave it a big thumbs down.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Without the numbers in the Senate, Environment Minister Murray Watt has been forced to negotiate the new EPBC environment laws.
But instead of working with the Greens & independents to strengthen our environment laws, Labor is seeking a deal with the Coalition

PETITION: Strong environment laws now! The Australian public voted for a climate majority at the last election, and we want strong environment laws that can stop new coal and gas.

Murray Watts proposed Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Protection Act, seeks to speed up approvals for fossil fuel projects and fail to include a climate trigger –and to fast-track projects while delaying environmental protections.

Juvenile humpback whale dies off NSW coast while entangled in shark net It is the first whale to have died out of 15 entangled in shark nets on Australia’s east coast so far this year

It may be "the first" whale to die tangled in a shark net this year, but it shall not be the last.

STOP this senseless killing of our ocean wildlife.
