.Angus Taylor MP I note your comments in the context of to the effect that announcements amounting to smoke and mirrors should be/will be ignored.

Presumably the same reasoning applies to the coalition’s so-called policy? 🤔

Why aren’t we taxing our exports?

Because the odious industry “donates” more or less equally to both major parties (to hedge its bets) and to ensure that it can continue plundering our resources for corporate profits while destroying a safe climate 💰

I don’t think animal welfare issues were even mentioned during tonight’s story on the planned 2028 ban on live sheep exports.

Instead we mainly heard spin from vested interests who want the vile trade to continue.

What about the suffering of the sheep?

In other words the vile live sheep export trade will continue for at least 4 more years and will notionally end at a time when Labor may not even be in government

I’m a bit surprised that you were blindsided by the “gas strategy” that the government has adopted ⁦Labor for Higgins⁩.

& the both accept funding from the fossil fuel industry, & it creates a terrible conflict of interest.💰

Given leading expert Terry Hughes is forecasting coral mortality in the order of 50% across the Great Barrier Reef when will:

1. the Anthony Albanese government stop enabling new fossil fuel projects?
2. UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 acknowledge the obvious and list the Reef as in danger?

Climate risks ignored in National Defence Strategy, former defence chief says

(It’s not particularly surprising given both major parties are beholden to the odious fossil fuel industry. That appalling conflict of interest must be addressed 💰🌏🔥) abc.net.au/news/2024-05-0…

.Peter Dutton re your contention that the opposition would “keep Australians safe” and your assertion that the Government isn’t doing that, will you belatedly be following through with a climate and energy policy that reflects the science in order to keep us safe? 🤔

Skyrocketing insurance premiums is just one of the ways that the odious industry imposes huge costs on our community.

When are you going to make the industry contribute its fair share ⁦Anthony Albanese⁩? 💰🤔🌏🔥
