Exactly what’s going on with Snowy 2.0? What’s the latest cost? Is ‘Florence’ (the tunnel mole) moving yet? Neither Snowy Hydro Ltd, the Dept or the Minister are talking; rather they’ve tried to wrap a secrecy snow blanket over the whole project. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/snow-job-snowy…

Australia’s environment must be given legal priority over land-clearing and logging to survive, Ken Henry says theguardian.com/environment/20…

Watch this superb montage of the LNP telling blatant lies about nuclear energy. My question: why don't journalists immediately call them out for these lies? #auspol #energy #JournalismMatters

Finally a real estate agency catering to politicians and their many, many investment properties.

The @IMFNews has found Australia provides $65 BILLION in subsidies a year to the fossil fuel industry! What are we doing?? It’s time to end direct subsidies to this destructive industry & protect taxpayers from the costs of fossil fuels. smh.com.au/politics/feder… #auspol

Something Richard Dennis of the Australia Institute highlighted on Wednesday at the launch of the Whistleblower Project. A lot of people know the Govt is lying: Labor's hypocritical response to the climate crisis is a sad joke on us all via @crikey_news crikey.com.au/2023/08/25/int…

we have the technology! australia could achieve ~99% renewable electricity with just 5 hours of storage. @DavidOsmond8’s simulation, using real, scaled-up data, completes its second year. reneweconomy.com.au/a-near-100pct-…

.@WoodsideEnergy don't want you to know, but one of their boats recently hit a baby whale. If they can’t manage a tugboat without striking whales, how can they be trusted to undertake massive fossil fuel development amidst our precious oceans & wildlife? greenpeace.org.au/news/woodside-…

The IPCC report states that 80% of coal, 50% of gas and 30% of oil reserves cannot be burned if warming is to be limited to 2°C. And yet, in 2022 the world's richest nations spent a record $1.4 trillion on fossil fuel subsidies. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Everywhere we look, humans are poisoning the Earth… nuclear waste, carbon dioxide, industrial chemicals, sewage, eroded soil, pesticides, fertilisers, forever chemicals, plastic, spilt oil, garbage, nanochemicals, mining spoil, acid runoff… a toxic legacy for all our grandchildren.

Unprecedented fires across Canada, Greece and Hawaii, and now an increased bushfire risk for large parts of Australia. Why are we still opening new coal mines and subsidising fossil fuel projects?

Just remember who gave the keynote address at @CPACaustralia. A former PM of Australia, Tony Abbott, sharing the podium with unapologetic racist Pauline Hanson & a ‘comedian’ who refers to traditional owners as ‘violent black men’. Will @PeterDutton_MP condemn this racism?

@reallykazcooke I’m embarrassed to say I used to vote liberal in a past life 😕

Hey all u travellers on the great northern hwy Call into the MILING roadhouse for great coffee, a feed or just a chat. We have clean dunnies and two hot Sheila’s cooking and serving u. Mon - Fri 8.30 to 5.30 and sat morns. This little place has a new life.

I remember when the answer to the question “Don’t Know?” was quite obviously “Find Out”. That the Liberal Party is so happy to weaponise ignorance for political gain is exactly why it has become a toxic and morally repugnant organisation.

AGL, AIG, Origin, BCA, Energy Australia etc. all agree on the absolute importance of the rapid transition to renewable energy- for our economy and for our climate. In holding out for nuclear, the LNP is painting itself into a very lonely little corner. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Australia’s business leaders are right. We need to double down our efforts to reach our 2030 targets, not abandon them. The Coalition don’t have a serious energy policy and they don’t have a serious plan to lower power bills. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
