Doctors for the Environment Vs Woodside & NOPSEMA In April 2025, Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA) took legal action against the national regulator NOPSEMA, challenging its approval of Woodside’s Environment Plan for the Scarborough gas pro...

Our environmental laws are broken and the government has no appetite for reform.

DEA took on the case to challenge and progress the legal argument. We lost the case but others now have an easier path.

We could use some help with our chuffed campaign

Taking Woodside to court was a huge risk for a small not-for-profit like ours, but we knew we had to try.

Unfortunately, Australia’s environmental laws are not fit for purpose, and we lost the case. We now have to pay 80k in legal costs.

Seems to be the way we have to go to get attention.

Santos sponsoring the Tour Down Under is like Benson & Hedges sponsoring the cricket, it’s using sport to push their harmful unhealthy product.

Coalition’s nuclear plan will hit Earth with 1.7bn extra tonnes of CO2 before 2050, experts warn Peter Dutton’s path ‘would be an absolute failure’ in decarbonising the electricity sector and meeting Australia’s emission targets, analyst says

Extra 1.7 BILLION TONNES of CO2
What's not to love about going nuclear?

Time to think about growing our #auspol BlueSky community

Do you have a friend, family member, colleague, neighbour who is political or a little political & would like to lean more into our democracy?

Let them know about us here on BlueSky - & ask them to join us

What do you think? We need allies

It people have capacity to support DEA that would help us campaign for a healthy planet.

DEA is a not-for-profit meaning all donations are used for our work. It helps our members who volunteer their time for climate health advocacy

Our governments are failing us by perpetuating our dependency on fossil fuels

Beautiful!

Hi Penny

Just a bit excited ☺️

Perth is totally owned by the fossil fuel industry. Their influence is everywhere you look

Perth, a pictorial essay

Me too - such an obvious stitch up by the Lib Lab and shows their disregard for the electorate and democratic process

The air pollution crisis in South Asia is a visible & devastating reminder that burning fossil fuels comes at the cost of our air quality and health. Our report outlines the facts, but these images of cities shrouded in toxic air speak louder than our words ever could.

Tks to the 70+ NGOs who supported this AFR ad calling for protecting our right to protest, campaign & take legal action when corps & govts are in the wrong. We'll need to fight if we are to protect what has worked for centuries to bring change to right wrongs & move forward! #defendthedefenders

When are we going to figure it out? We need to quit fossil fuels before we kill life on earth.
Heavy but true

Just devastating how we are destroying life on earth, so that fossil fuels executives can make a massive profit.

We need to quit fossil fuels to protect health

Very proud day in Parliament House for me

It's Lib/Lab (and their enablers) vs the rest of us #auspol

Heat waves means more heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, suicidality and domestic violence.

It’s time to quit fossil fuels to protect health

“Firefighters battle two out-of-control blazes as other communities brace for winds, storms and possible flash flooding” but climate deniers are still insisting there’s nothing to see here.

We need to quit fossil fuels to protect health

Hello Bluesky! We are a group of medical doctors and students, who understand that human health requires a healthy planet, with an environment that is free of pollution and rich in biodiversity.
We call for #climateaction in recognition of the health harms caused by #globalheating and #climatechange

Heavy handed action here by NSW govt
Why do tough on peaceful climate protest? You’d almost think they didn’t want us to have a healthy future

Bluesky with Tawny Frog Mouth
