Climate 200

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!

What a night! HUGE congratulations to all the community independent MPs and candidates, their teams, and volunteers who worked so hard. So far looks like the indie MPs have retained their seats, @nicboele.bsky.social has won Bradfield 🥳 and other new candidates are close!

A huge thank you to everyone who has shown support for the independents movement, and congratulations on everything that you’ve achieved in this campaign. Good luck, let the count begin!

Independents have been fighting to ban lies in political ads — because the major parties aren’t.

You heard them!

Peter Dutton's Coalition continues to be an obstacle to climate action.

In case you missed it, @ausconservation.bsky.social and @climatecouncil.bsky.social also gave the party a rock bottom score on the environment.

Peter Dutton’s nuclear power plan could lead to major electricity shortages, analysis says Coalition’s proposal overestimates the reliability of Australia’s ageing coal generators, Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis says

"Peter Dutton’s plan to build less renewable energy and keep Australia’s coal plants running longer has overestimated the reliability of ageing generators and could lead to major electricity shortages..."
