The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

I’ve tried to get some details on our critical mineral strategy, but it turns out information about our rocks are matters of national security 🤷‍♂️. I have appealed this #FOI refusal. We have the right to know. 2/2 #auspol

Air temperatures, soil temperatures and reanalyses all agree on how the UK’s climate has warmed & varied over the past decades.

Don’t listen to the usual critics who try to claim otherwise…

Australia has one of the worst extinction records on Earth — and Labor’s doing a deal with the Coalition to overhaul nature laws.

Labor can’t protect nature while protecting polluters.

This shocking deal is a gross betrayal of millions of voters
Here's what Labor would do if they gave a rat's about the environment.

Murray Watt's initial response was to approve Woodside's extension. Despite environmental destruction, Murray Watt and Woodside came to a backroom agreement.

The ECBC act is a green stamp for developers. It's unlikely that will change with new legislation.

The Woodside case proves what we’ve long suspected: Australia’s ‘environment protection’ law does no such thing
Approval of the North West Shelf extension shows the purpose of the EPBC Act is to allow developments, not to protect and preserve

Allowing unrestricted gas exports from the east coast of Australia has resulted in domestic wholesale gas prices more than tripling and electricity prices doubling, our research found.

Read:
Gas exports have tripled Australian gas prices and doubled electricity prices
New Australia Institute research reveals that gas exports have led to the tripling of wholesale east coast gas prices and doubling of electricity prices, since exports began in 2015.

Labor of course do not need one single vote of the LNP to pass any laws, so they are choosing to make the laws weaker.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit scared of any new ‘environment laws’ that Labor can get Matt Canavan and Andrew Hastie to vote for…I think they will be better described as ‘ how to build more mines faster laws’ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
