This clarifies why Albanese's invitation of Israeli President Hertzog is a massive and shameful blunder. Not in my name, I hope to see many thousands of people for humanity on Monday 5.30pm at Sydney Town Hall

Origin to keep Australia's biggest coal generator open for another two years as buyers' strike seals the deal Origin confirms Eraring to be kept online until 2029 - nearly four years after its "early" closure date. The company has still not built any replacement wind and solar.

NSW gov backs Origin's dirty broken Eraring power stn over speeding up renewables and storage. Down the drain with emissions targets, investments in renewables and lower energy costs. Chris Bowen sounds pissed reneweconomy.com.au/origin-to-ke... @knitnannassyd.bsky.social

As Victoria’s Great Ocean Road flash floods show, we need to get better at taking warnings seriously We must get used to the idea such events will become more common as the climate changes, and adapt accordingly.

Flash floods causing savage harm - we have a lot more to learn about how to be mentally prepared to act on warnings theconversation.com/as-victorias...

You asked for it!

We tracked down photos of 3 πŸ§ΆπŸ‘΅β€™s, a clown (+driver) being pursued by police on Newcastle Harbour on Saturday. Nannas were finally arrested but released without charge.

Not everyone is in a position to take direct action - but we can all spread the word #ClimateAction now!

Santos hit by further delay on Narrabri gas ruling A traditional owner appeal over the project’s approval was due to start on Tuesday but is now expected in March 2026 after the judge recused herself.

Nannas invite you to say no to the SANTOS gas lateral pipeline - the crucial plank of Santos’ dastardly plan to drill 850 gas wells in the precious Pilliga Forest.

Visit our No Pipeline information stall @risingtideaus.bsky.social blockade we’ll help you make your submission on the spot. #Climate
