“Jewish Council of Australia issued a statement, “We refuse to let our grief for the Bondi massacre be used to legitimise a leader who has played an active role in the ongoing destruction of Gaza, including the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinians, and the displacement of millions.” #auspol

A fluffy Tawny owl branchling perched on a thin, bare branch extending from a large, mossy tree trunk. The owlet is huddled into a soft, round ball with its eyes closed, covered in delicate grey and brown downy feathers. The background is a smooth, out-of-focus blur of warm golden and earthy tones, creating a serene and cozy atmosphere.

Branchling of an Tawny Owl. They can't fly yet but leaving the Nest already. They often fall down and will try to reach the next tree to climb up on.
Please Keep your dogs on a leash for them! <3

A graphic with the text "$77.5 Million Against Climate Action?" on a solid background. Gina Rinehart is in the background holding coal, surrounded by stacks of cash

A list titled "Here's just some of the dirty money affecting our democracy:" showing donations from fossil fuel interests. The largest is Minerology at $52,889,379, followed by Advance Australia at $10,108,548, Coal Australia at $5,389,523, Minerals Council of Australia at $1,000,970, Hancock Prospecting at $1,099,000, and Other Fossil Fuel Companies at $2,119,988. At the bottom is an angry emoji and red exclamation points.

More than $14 million of this was channelled through third-party groups who ran relentless attack ads and disinformation campaigns targeting independent MPs. Australians for Prosperity $2,838,026 Advance Australia $10,108,548 Better Australia $1,255,061 Around the edges are examples of smear campaigns against independent MPs like Monique Ryan and Zoe Daniel.

Text stating that the fossil fuel lobby buys influence, but independents are not for sale, concluding with a call to "Chip in today" and the website climate200.com.au.

No, @nytimes.com (www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/m...), experts do NOT agree emissions reductions aren't adequate to prevent 2C warming.

You're using a false premise (see climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...) to justify potentially dangerous interventions (which take pressure off decarbonization)
