The Mudcrabs

A reminder to parliamentarians heading to Canberra airport at the end of a busy sitting week, that they're giving most of the gas exported from Australia, *that belongs to Australians!* to a handful of foreign owned corporates FOR FREE. Can you start charging for it please?

Do the maths.

Gas rent-seeker lobbyists AEP want scarce renewables funding diverted to...you guessed it - new gas power stations! Given their constantly scaremonger about a "gas shortage," subsidising new gas power stations is the last thing we should be doing. theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic…

What is your answer? Mine is: Just remember, every species die-off is like pulling a Jenga piece from the tower of life—eventually, it’s gonna tumble!

It’s not a new tactic. It’s called legal intimidation by multibillion oil and gas corporates of under-resourced environmental and indigenous groups trying to protect nature and cultural heritage. And it’s disgusting. abc.net.au/news/2024-06-3…

We haven't forgotten. We encourage everyone to contact the Environment Ministers to keep the pressure on and keep asking how an endangered species could be crushed by logging machinery in a National Park. #PlannedBurns #ForestFireManagement #GreaterGlider

#EDF UK flagship Hinkley C new #nuclear announced in 2007 - estimated completion date of 2017, at a cost of £9 billion. Latest estimated completion date 2031, estimated cost a staggering £31bn - £34bn.

While the Albanese govt thinks everyone is distracted by the nuclear debate, they've approved 151 new coal seam gas wells in Qld. This is why we urgently need a climate trigger in our environment laws. 350.org.au/press-release/…

So turns out the bloke who regulates the gas industry ...also lobby's for them...wtf? #australia #auspol

Peter Dutton and Michaelia Cash disapprove of this three-eyed Blinky Bill meme and they definitely do not want it to be shared around. You know what to do. #auspol

keith pitt just said on @RNBreakfast that grids can’t handle more than 10% wind+solar. the national electricity market is already 31% wind+solar. this is a great example of how truth is the first casualty in a culture war.

My biggest questions today are for @tanya_plibersek @AlboMP

Roll up…Roll up…Roll out… @theage

Anti-electricity cartoon from 1889. No matter how good an idea comes along, there will always be somebody opposed. Today it is renewable energy, electric vehicles and heat pumps. Good news is that innovation often proves doubters wrong.

Woodside’s ad for their Scarborough project misses a few key facts: 1. Almost all the gas will be exported 2. They get the gas for free (no royalties) 3. It will pay zero revenue to WA 4. It will cause around 1.3 BILLION tonnes of emissions, making WA hotter and drier

He wouldn't be shitting us would he? #peterdutton #climatetargets

This is going to go down as the DUMBEST period in Australia's history. The moment where Aussies handed BILLIONS of our collective wealth to USA owned corporations and PAID to clean up the mess. To be clear: these corporate BLUDGERS have captured our government #auspol

“if you don’t know…”

Some of the logs representing the Wombat State Forests largest are being trucked to Gippsland through "Loophole logging" by @FFMVic Call @JacintaAllanMP @MaryAnneThomas @Steve_Dimo @RosSpenceMP Why was @LEANAustralia asked to take post down?

The cultural, financial and legal issues which plagued state-owned logging corporation VicForests shouldn't be allowed to find a new home in @DEECA_Vic and @FFMVic. Article via @GuardianAus #springst #environment
