Energy retailers to be directed to offer free power three hours a day Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

Are they laughing at themselves? Because if so, I get it.

Over the next few days, you are going to see me reshare it every time an influential climate scientist points out that no, the southern ocean's overturning current hasn't reversed.

The reviewed article did not even come close to supporting what was in the media release everyone shared.

Murujuga is 8X as old as the Pyramids and at least as important, and is being destroyed by Woodside’s acid gas emissions.

Woodside wants to extend the life of its North West Shelf gas hub out to 2070. ACF campaigner Piper Rollins spoke with Sky News about the big decision waiting on new Environment Minister Murray Watt’s desk. #auspol #ClimateAction #ProtectMurujuga #NWShelf

4 yrs ago today, I witnessed a volcanic eruption for the first time, close enough to feel the intense warmth of the Earth's creation on my skin. It literally changed my life. I may spend the rest of my life seeking an experience as powerful as this and never find it, and that's okay.

Anthony Albanese sworn in as prime minister for the second time Albanese and his reshuffled ministry are being sworn in by the governor-general.

The Albanese govt went to the 2022 election promising thorough reform of the national nature law. That promise remains unfulfilled. It’s time to get on with the job. #auspol 7news.com.au/news/anthony...

1) Labor gets reelected in landslide.
2) Nationals increase their primary vote
3) Farmers most likely to be impacted by climate change
4) Matt Canavan calls for Net Zero to be scrapped.

Farmers must learn that the Nats don’t act in their best interests.

This ancient Australian reef is sending a silent distress call Australia’s Ningaloo Reef is sick, like many coral reefs around the world. And scientists warn reef restoration projects are no substitute for climate action.

Oceans are now storing 90% of the excess heat from global warming. This has led to a mass coral bleaching event starting in 2023 that has impacted almost 84% of the world's reefs.

“Coral reefs probably won't survive much above 1.5°C of global mean warming”, @billhare.bsky.social told @cnn.com

Setting the tone for our campaigning at ACF for this term of government.

May Labor’s legacy be the leaders who finally stopped fossil fuel expansion during the most critical moment of history to make a difference.

Please.

Like many of you, I am sure, I am gutted that @zoedaniel.bsky.social has lost her seat 😢

I have been so impressed with her drive, tenacity, smarts and sense of social justice.

Unlike Tim Wilson, she showed up during this campaign. It’s truly baffling *anyone* would vote for an empty chair. 🪑

Australia has backed a rapid shift to renewable energy - and given Labor a chance on climate. How will it act? | Clear Air After a landslide election win, there will never be a better chance to shake off old policy impasses and deliver a more ambitious plan for the environment

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Seriously I wish there were more reporters like Adam in the Aussie media scene. Too many gloss over climate change as an inconsequential afterthought rather than THE biggest existential challenge we’ve ever faced in human history.

Yes. 🙌

@adammorton.bsky.social has nailed the question we’ve all been thinking about.

I really hope they will choose courage and conviction over timidity and the status quo.

After all there’s a good chance Labor will continue to govern to 2030: which is crunch time for climate action.

Nuclear threat extinguished, but much work needed to protect nature and climate Australians have said no to nuclear. That door is not just closed, it is welded shut. But much work is needed to protect nature and climate.

ACF statement on the federal election result. #auspol #AusVotes2025 www.acf.org.au/nuclear-thre...

The climate and environment movement very effectively demolished nuclear in Australia.

You better believe we’re coming for gas next.

Watch this space.

Right. Well now the Libs are cooked, here’s hoping Labor can locate their spines this upcoming term.

No need to play the safe middle ground now, they must take genuine action on climate, starting with.. and I’ll say it louder for the folks up the back: NO NEW COAL AND GAS.

#AusPol

Stop approving coal and gas is surely your next phase of climate action? Because this needs to happen now. No more free passes for the fossil fuel lobby.
