Why would this Labor government authorise the destruction of culturally important bushland for Defence housing when cleared areas exist nearby? Please save what's left. #saveleepoint Pay The Rent Grassroots Collective Dr Kirsty Howey Tanya Plibersek

Here I am releasing the amazing Marcelina on Jan. 3rd. She’s since been giving us a great tour of Australia’s inland wetlands, from SA’s Goyder Lagoon to the NT’s Barkly Tableland. She’s covered about 2500 kms. Without tracking, we’d only know of two sites nationally this year.

This endangered Australian painted snipe is right now smack bang in the middle of the proposed fracking fields of the Beetaloo Basin.

LEAN is deeply concerned by the Future Gas Strategy and its overt support for new gas fields. It has caused an outpouring of anger from LEAN members not seen since LEAN was reformed in 2013.

We've written to the Prime Minister to communicate these concerns and urge... (1/2)

From Darwin’s beaches to Gaza’s: Free Palestine

#FreePalestine #CeasefireNOW

Bucket list item ticked! I’ve now seen both the #NorthernLights and #SouthernLights .

I took these pics of the #AuroraAustralis tonight at #BellsBeach .

'not a single gvt dollar for gas expansion '.... Except the one we announced literally the day before. And $1.5bn+ for a Darwin fracked gas port. And...

The govt is being fundamentally dishonest, unless these subsidies are cut out of the budget.

Absolutely biblical skies in Tasmania at 4am this morning. I’m leaving today and knew I could not pass up this opportunity for such a large solar storm. Here’s the image. I actually had to de-saturate the colours. Clouds glowing red. Insane. Shot on Nikon. Rt appreciated

A plan to expand gas drilling during the climate crisis has triggered an uproar among First Nations communities, farmers and within the Labor Party itself. Story by Michael Dahlstrom au.news.yahoo.com/62-community-l…

Another example of how the Albanese government’s future gas strategy is built upon cherry picked facts, misrepresentation of non-gas industry views, and a deep hostility to the science of climate change and what actions are needed to limit warming to 1.5°C theguardian.com/australia-news…

Kos Samaras 🚨Anyone noticed the uptick in frequency of “gas as part of the transition” advertising on radio and tv? Fossil fuels are fighting hard to hold back transition to clean energy. Don’t be fooled, it’s all about their profits, not our safety or wellbeing. 🌎

The argument often put forward for voting to keep Labor Left MPs in inner city seats is that they are needed to push for progressive policy from within.

But what power do they have if they are being 'blindsided' by their party's own gas announcements?

From me - Albanese government ‘twisted’ and misrepresented Indigenous group’s views in ‘future gas’ document, chair says. theguardian.com/australia-news…

let’s be honest… labor on carbon capture and storage #CCS is no more credible than the LNP on small modular reactors #SMR .
