Climate 200

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.

New AEC disclosures show the scale of #fossilfuel influence in Australian elections

This week the High Court heard Hopper v State of Victoria, the first of two landmark challenges to electoral laws that prop up the major parties whilst making it far harder for anyone else to compete

These cases go to the heart of #democracy: Who gets heard? Who gets funded? Who gets locked out?

In December, over 50% of eastern Australia’s power came from cheap renewables, cutting prices and replacing dirty fossil fuels.

Clean energy works and improves yearly.

Heatwave Woodside? Sounds about right to us. If you think heatwaves should be named after the fossil fuel companies that cause them, sign @mon4kooyong.bsky.social’s petition: www.moniqueryan.com.au/heatwave_pet...

Rural Australia doesn’t deserve this.

No one in Australia does.

But this is exactly what climate science has predicted.

Together we can climate-proof Australian politics, and protect this wonderful country of ours.

Thank you for supporting this!

Everyone deserves more choices at election time, not less!

We really do! And with support from people like you, we can do just that!

Thank you so much for your support!

Will Australians continue to enjoy genuine choice at the next election? 🗳️ ⚖️

The major parties have rewritten election rules, making it almost impossible for anyone else to play 🎲🏠

Zoe Daniel and Rex Patrick are taking the duopoly to the High Court. Because when the game is unfair, it’s voters who lose out.

Chip in via the link in bio to help them level the playing field.

Well… Looks like they didn’t choose the science 🤷‍♀️

Fossil fuels or our future? 🔥🌏

The government is about to set Australia’s 2035 climate target. Scientists, independents, and business leaders all agree: it must be ambitious.

Support our mission of climate-proofing politics for good. Join the movement today.

As Labor re-enters government with a clear mandate on climate, the North West Shelf will be their first big test. Can they be trusted to act?

It's so close in Goldstein the AEC will start a partial recount of first-preference ballots this Wednesday.

Australians are already living with the consequences of a changing climate. Our thoughts are with the communities affected by flooding in NSW.

Will the Liberal Party finally shift back to the centre?

The Nationals’ extremist agenda has gutted the Liberals' base, both have been relegated to observers in parliament. Independents held strong in once Liberal heartland, and voters sent a clear message.

Maybe, the Liberals will start listening

The federal Coalition is splitting up for the first time in 38 years, after the joint parties suffered a historic election wipeout. Will they reconsider their stance on climate? What the 2025 federal election shows is that no party without a credible climate policy can win government.

Over a million Aussies gave their number one vote to an independent this election. We’ve never seen anything like it. And it’s all because of your support 🩵

@nicboele.bsky.social winning Bradfield - ‘another blow to the Liberal Party'

#insiders discusses the deep flaws of the Liberal Party ‘Maybe they have to rebuild and have an actual fiscally conservative liberal party [and get rid of their far right]

On climate action @zalisteggall.bsky.social ‘‘No excuses [for Labor] not to be more ambitious. There’s a clear opportunity now….

Zali has proposed a climate resilience plan. But the coalition ‘still does not have a coherent climate policy’ #insiders

Another historically Liberal seat has gone independent—congratulations, @nicboele.bsky.social! Nicolette secured the biggest swing against the Liberal Party in ’22 and has returned to win. She brings a strong head for finance, responsible investment, and clean energy to Parliament. #AusPol

Congrats to @katechaneymp.bsky.social who has been re-elected to represent the seat of Curtin! Kate pushes on issues like housing affordability, climate change and tax reform, and she’s an incredible force on the cross-bench. Looking forward to what comes next. #AusPol #AusVotes2025

Congratulations to @sophiescamps.bsky.social who has won the seat of Mackellar! Health, climate, and integrity were at the heart of Sophie's campaign. She introduced the ending jobs for mates bill, added extra protections for water against gas fracking and much more. #AusPol #CommunityIndependents

Congratulations on last night @allegraspender.bsky.social ! Allegra has been leading the charge on opening up a real conversation on tax reform, environmental protection, community representation and integrity in politics. She’s a fantastic advocate on the cross-bench. #AusPol #AusVotes2025

Congratulations to Helen Haines, re-elected MP for Indi! Helen is a strong advocate for rural healthcare and led the way on getting the National Anti-Corruption Commission up. Many more great things to come. #AusPol #AusVotes2025 #AusVotes

Ben Smith in Flinders, Caz Heise in Cowper, Dr Sue Chapman in Forrest and Jessie Price in Bean are looking very close!
